Vacumes handheld

I need to purchase a ‘handheld’ vacuum and want the ‘best’. Any recommendations (good or bad)?

Don't know what to tail you on handheld vac. I only have a 6.5 HP ridged. Maybe someone can chime in and help you out. Sorry.
I do want to welcome you to AGOL...

If you are looking for a cordless, the B&D with the pivoting head had a good review from Popular Mechanics magazine. There is a video HERE about it.

Dirt Devil sucks. I knew I was gonna be messy, that's one brand I would not buy. I really liked that Black&Decker in the video.
