Is the Mini Desk Vacuum worth it?
Worth it. Cheap, cute, used more than you'd expect. A safe stocking stuffer.
A mini desk vacuum is worth it for crumbs, eraser shavings and keyboard dust on a flat desk, and not worth it for carpets, car floors or anything heavier than dust; it gets used because it lives on the desk.
Buy it if you…
- Desk eaters and students
- Crafters
- sketchers
- anyone with eraser dust
Skip it if you…
- Car floors or carpets (get a handheld vacuum)
