Handheld vacuums are typically the smaller options that you would use for small nooks and crannies, and things like your car. For your apartment, you probably want something bigger.

When I was looking, I was specifically looking for “stick” vacuums for my small apartment, because I don’t have a ton of storage and needed something I could shove in my coat closet. I found this database of vacuums that you can sort by type, and I ended up with the Shark Rocket. It works great, so far! It was cheap too, under $150 USD. More on reddit.com
