Cheap handheld vacuum cleaner

Happy with this one

Its easy to clean + has washable HEPA filter ( kinda small though ..). These types are only meant to be used for 10mins or so at a time. They do heat up and must be cleaned regularly. Dust box is small.
I am using this once a week and it works very well for my use case.

Not sure about support and spare parts availability.

I had previously tested an Agaro one for close to half the price. It lacked HEPA filter, but did work well in my limited testing but had to return it as it had a defect in its brush attachment + its length attachment kept the VC at the other end away from hand messing up its weight balance.

Sorry for going slightly off-topic OP. I have a handheld Inalsa vacuum cleaner as well - this. Can you tell me how often you wash/clean the HEPA filter and how? I use an old brush and try to remove the dust/particles that get stuck to it every 2-3 uses, but it isn't a great experience. I got this since I wasn't using my Philips PowerPro FC9352 as that felt like a hassle due to its weight and size.

yeah, its getting a bit clogged now for me too, these hepas are tiny.
I also used it incorrectly few times by not fitting it properly that may have accelerated it.

I did not find the filter listed in amazon, so we probably need to call them.

So far i have been lazy. Like you i just use old toothbrush to slightly remove the dust every 2-3 times. And i also wash it by running water from the plastic side.
This clears it up enough and it remains usable for now. I clean up the dust attachment after every use anyway ( button to clear most and then toothbrush to clear up cyclone filter ) so doing this every 3rd time isn't too much extra.
All of it probably is 5mins of cleaning time.
Also, I also have Air Purifier, so slightly degraded HEPA is fine for me. I always wear surgical mask while dealing with VC anyway.

Compared to heavier VC which i only used once in few months previously, i am able to use this every week because its less effort to start. So, happy with it.
