For portable power, consider Sanyo's compact canister SC270. Small enough to carry just about anywhere, this model is a great supplemental cleaner for simple vacuuming tasks in the garage, shop, house, RV, or boat.

It also works well for specialized tasks such as vacuuming curtains, window toppers, and overstuffed furniture. Always ready to go, you can never run out of bags for this model--it doesn't require any. Instead, a bagless dust cup collects 2.6 quarts of everything you vacuum up. When it's full, simply dump it in the nearest trashcan and continue your cleaning without missing a beat.

With a powerful 7.0 amp motor and six onboard tools, this model can handle just about any straightforward cleaning task. Included are a floor brush, a crevice tool, and a dusting brush. For overhead tasks, two wands and a flexible hose give you the extended reach you need. This model will store upright thanks to a convenient wand holder. It also offers a 16-foot power cord with a automatic rewind.

Bright yellow in color, the Sanyo compact canister SC270is a convenient little tool to have around the house and is especially useful for cleaning stairs.

Pro: bagless, portable unit that goes just about anywhere you can find an outlet
Con: not a good choice for pile carpeting
