This $13 palm-sized tabletop vacuum cleaner sucks up any crumby messes

If you work from home — or just eat a lot of meals at your desk — you’re bound to make a mess on all kinds of flat surfaces: your workspace, dining table or kitchen counter. It happens to everyone — neat freaks and regular Joes alike. That’s why a desktop vacuum is the household gadget you never knew you needed. Case in point: the Odistar Desktop Vacuum Cleaner. It’s on sale for a sparkling $13 (and makes a great gift for those who like to keep things tidy).

This palm-sized vac is completely wireless and is perfect for getting at hard-to-reach areas on your desk or countertop.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Vacuums can get pricey — and cordless models, no matter their size, tend to cost even more since they give you more free rein to clean. That’s why the $13 price tag on this little guy is practically unheard of.

Why do I need this? 🤔

This mini tabletop vacuum fits right in the palm of your hand and is completely cordless. The lightweight device features a 360-degree rotatable design, making it perfect for getting into every nook and cranny of your desk, keyboard and more. Its compact, handheld form is also ideal for reaching those hard-to-clean areas that a regular vacuum can’t handle.

Powering it all is a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that delivers up to 400 minutes of continuous cleaning. Just charge it for two to three hours, and it’s juiced up and ready to go. If you’re on the move or away from your desk, you can power it up with the included USB cable — via wall adapter, power bank or even your computer.

What reviewers say 💬

The Odistar mini desktop vacuum has over 11,000 five-star fans — and more than 10,000 were bought in just the past month.

Pros 👍

“Very easy to use, light, and easy to store,” wrote this fan. “Just one button and it absorbs the dust in the area. It does the job well! It’s so useful for cleaning up kids’ desks.”

The crafting community also says this device is a lifesaver, with one reviewer asking, “Where has this been all my crafting-glitter life?” They added: “This thing is like a little dustpan with suction to me. The suction is not overly strong, so there is still some brushing to do when using it, but it certainly does get the job done.”

“Cool vacuum!” raved a third. “I was so tired of cleaning crumbs off the kitchen table. Every time I did it, a few crumbs always hit the floor. So I thought I would try out this table vacuum. And it works perfectly! No more crumbs! It also looks so good that I just leave it on the table. Great gadget!”

Cons 👎

“I do like this desk top vacuum,” revealed this shopper. But they also noted, “I am on my second one however. Not the best durability.”

Another reported: “Works ok. Doesn’t pick up debris as well as I expected. Suction power isn’t as good as I’d like, but I’m keeping it.”

Amazon

It’s also super easy to charge. Just use the included USB cable and power it up. (We also like this one in orange.)
