Any suggestions?
The one we have is a Monster handheld vacuum (like a Dustbuster type). I bought it from QVC a million years ago. My last filter for it bit the dust today. I tried a month or so ago to find new filters for it, but couldn't.
Anyway, any suggestions for a new handheld? It doesn't need to be anything fancy. Oh, and we really don't have a good place to plug in a rechargeable with a long handle.

I'm happy with my DustBuster by Black and Decker. It is blue and white. I think it cost around $50.

I'm catching bugs in my sunroom with my monster vac. I added the extensions and feel like granny with her shotgun as I take aim at those pests.
People make their own masks, why not sew your own filters?

@AuntG - sew. My. Own. Filters. I don't own a sewing machine and I have zero sewing abilities.

I have a Dirt Devil hand-held that I've had for years - works great. Good for heavy duty pick-up.*
Just bought a "stick vac" that converts to hand-held - Bissell Featherweight. Great for under cushions and minimal pick-up and dust. Very dusty here in NYC ... even up 10 stories.

I think handheld vacumes are one of the best inventions ever. I could not live w/o one.
I currently have a Black & Decker that I picked up at WalMart about a year ago when my other one lost its oooomph. This was probably in the $30-40 range. I like it fine. Easy enough to clean and the filter is just rinsed clean. No need to buy new ones. Its lightweight, picks up pretty well, and lasts long enough on a charge.

The Shark stick type works for me. Can do handheld or stick. Mine is corded. Has a little power and a nice sized bin.

Another thumbs-up for Black and Decker. I've had one for five years or so and have had no problems. Also, there's no need to buy separate filters.
