What is a good, inexpensive hand-held vacuum cleaner?

I am looking to buy a good, inexpensive hand-held vacuum cleaner for a friend who lives in a dorm at college. Her room doesn’t have any carpeting (except for a rug), but the floor is not very clean. I know a lot of the ones I have looked at on the Target and Walmart sites are around . Are they any good? Which brand(s) do you prefer, and where can I find them? Please be specific! Thanks!

  1. I would recommend anything Dirt Devil makes, but remember that anything without a cord generaly isn’t to powerful.

  2. I work in a vacuum sales/repair shop and I believe the Dirt Devil classic or ultra vac are your best choices. They are bagless/bagged units. They are NOT cordless. They only corless I sell, is a high power unit for about $70. The DD will run about 40-60.
