The handheld vacuum cleaner is definitely one of the most underrated forms of cleaning your home. While they may not be suited to be the only vacuum cleaner in your home, they are certainly able to help you make your home a tidier place to live.
Much of the time, they are great for clearing up debris and getting tight corners, but this model from HoLife has a little bit more to offer.
This handheld vacuum cleaner is a wet/dry model, which means that it has the ability to clear up both liquid and solid debris without causing you any danger or damaging the machine.
It can be a real game-changer, and it could be just what you need (especially if you have messy kids). Take some time, grab a cup of tea, and flick through our review.Â

Presenting the HoLife Wet/Dry
The HoLife Wet/Dry is the ideal vacuum for those who are in search of something that can clean up both solid and liquid messes throughout the home.
It may be small, but it can offer a surprising amount of power for sucking up all of those unwanted crumbs. It makes for a good little model to have on hand. So much so that we featured this on our Best Vacuum for Pet Hair guides that you can see here.
However, if you need a handheld vacuum cleaner that is able to deal with pet hair and the debris they bring in from their walks, you might need something a little stronger.
While this handheld vacuum is great for cleaning up small messes, it might not have the suction you need for bigger, pet-related, tasks.Â
Features and Benefits
The HoLife Wet/Dry has a compact and sleek design that makes it very easy to store away when it is not in use but also ensures that it remains a highly portable form of the vacuum cleaner.
It actually has very powerful suction considering both its size and price, and while there may be more expensive models that offer a little more strength, this one certainly does everything it says it will.
Once you switch it on, you will be surprised by just how well it collects debris. It is an excellent budget model that has everything you need for a few quick spot jobs around the home.

The wet and dry functions are probably what makes this model stand out from the crowd. Normally, it would be dangerous and damaging to suck up the liquid mess with a normal vacuum, but this model allows you to flick a switch so that you can tidy up milk and other liquids without any worries.
All you need to do is empty the canister when you are finished and go back into dry debris mode. The filter is great for those with asthma and allergies as it works to trap dust efficiently when you are vacuuming.
The HoLife handheld vacuum comes with two washable filters that you can switch between – so you can use one while the other is being washed and dried. They are really simple to remove from the canister and come in a very compact size.
While all vacuums make noise, this handheld wonder operates very quietly. It allows you to vacuum while the kids are sleeping or without scaring your dog, so you have one less thing to worry about while you are getting the cleaning done. It’s certainly worth picking up for its quiet operation alone.Â

Runtime and Charge Period
The HoLife Wet/Dry has an excellent running time that spans between 25 and 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to clean up small messes throughout the day or get all the touch-ups done before your guests arrive.
It’s certainly a better battery life than most handheld vacuum cleaners offer. Once you have used it and the battery is dead, it needs to charge for between three and five hours in order to restore its battery life.
Plus, the lithium-ion battery means that you won’t damage the chemical memory if you put it on or take it off charge early.Â
Weight and Handling
This particular model of handheld vacuum cleaner is incredibly compact, to the point where it could fit comfortably in one hand. Therefore, it is also incredibly lightweight – so you will barely notice that you are holding it while you are cleaning.
The handling is equally good, thanks to the fact that everything is close together and the nozzle is elongated. Moving it around the area that needs cleaning is effortless and won’t cause any strain to your body, and the handle is very comfortable to hold.Â
Canister Capacity (Dust and Liquid)
The HoLife Wet/Dry has two different capacities depending on the kind of mess you are cleaning up. For regular, dry, debris and crumbs you can expect a fairly good capacity that is just over half a litre.
This leaves you with more than enough space to collect everything from those small and inconvenient messes around the home. When it comes to the wet capacity, you will find that it is only 100ml.
This may seem small, but it does a great job of collecting spilt juice or milk as well as water from things like your pet’s water bowl. The canister is incredibly easy to empty. All you need to do is slide the nozzle off gently and tip it out over the bin.
Once you have done that, you can just click it back into place and get started on the next section that needs cleaning. It’s a truly effortless solution.Â
Cleaning Different Floor Types
This handheld vacuum actually works fantastically on both hard floors and carpet, as well as surfaces that are either hard or textured.
If you need something that can give the stairs a good clean or get all of the debris out of your car, this model is perfectly capable of doing a superb job.
Similarly, it will run smoothly across hard floors to pick up hard debris like cereal, as well as softer items, and all without scratching your floors or causing any damage. Plus, the level of suction remains equally good across both surface types.Â

Attachments
This HoLife Wet/Dry actually comes with a couple of different attachments to make cleaning easier for you. The crevice tool is ideal for getting areas like the skirting board, as well as for reaching tight areas that collect dust and cobwebs.
You also have the rubber jar tool and dusting brush for a very thorough clean throughout your home. Additionally, there is a clean brush to ensure that each of your attachments remains clear and tidy.Â
