Reviewers praised the Wyze Handheld Vacuum for its sturdy build quality. Experts also liked how it handled bare floors and high pile carpets and commended its high suction force.

However, they weren’t impressed with its small 0.1-liter dirt canister and the fact that an adapter is required for connecting its tools.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The Wyze Handheld Vacuum is a basic cordless vacuum that was first announced in 2021. It is a lot more compact than most of the top vacuum cleaners on the market, and as a result, its dirt compartment can only hold about 0.1 liters of dirt and debris.

The cleaner is very quiet, as it has a noise level of only 72.9 decibels at its loudest. Allergy sufferers will be pleased to learn that it features an anti-allergy HEPA filter, which traps up to 99.99% of allergens during cleaning.

Its onboard battery runs for up to 33 minutes, and with a weight of 1.23 pounds, it is very easy to maneuver.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Wyze Handheld Vacuum was praised by experts for its lightweight design and impressive build quality, as reviewers from Rtings were pleased with its sturdy feel.

This is pretty common with Wyze products, as seen in our Wyze Cordless Vacuum review. They also liked how well it cleaned bare floors, clearing up to 48% and 100% of large and small debris, respectively.

Its performance on high pile carpets was also impressive, as it cleared 84% and 56% of large and small debris. Product testers from 9to5 Toyz hailed its suction power, which was as high as 16,800 Pascals during tests.

They also confirmed that it had a battery life of 30 minutes, which, as you’ll see in our Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Lithium Ion Cordless Hand Vaccum review, is pretty standard for cordless vacuums.

Still, its small 0.1-liter dirt compartment and its need for an adapter for tool attachment was displeasing to testers. Users who would want to consider a more compact option should read our Meco rechargeable USB Mini Vacuum review.

The Wyze Handheld Vacuum has a very small 0.1-liter dirt compartment, while the Wyze Robot Vacuum is equipped with a much larger 0.55-liter dirt bin. The Wyze Handheld Vacuum is also outmatched by the Wyze Robot’s battery performance, as the Wyze Handheld has a runtime of 33 minutes compared to the Wyze Robot, which lasts up to 134 minutes on a single charge.

The Wyze Handheld Vacuum comes equipped with an anti-allergy HEPA filter, while the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ does not. The Wyze Handheld also has a longer 33-minute runtime compared to the Pet Pro+, which only lasts 11 minutes. However, as we’ve covered in our Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ review, the Pet Pro+ has a larger 0.4-liter dust cup compared to the Wyze Handheld Vacuum, whose dirt canister can only hold 0.1-liters of dirt.

The Wyze Handheld Vacuum has a HEPA filter, while the eufy HomeVac H11 does not. The Wyze Vacuum’s 0.1-liter dirt compartment is also larger than the 0.05-liter dirt canister on the H11, and lastly, the Wyze Vacuum has a longer 33-minute battery life compared to the H11, which has a runtime of 13 minutes.
