Nothing is more annoying than a messy workspace. No matter how often I clean the surface of my desk, it seems like crumbs, paper scraps, eraser shavings and hair are practically everywhere. Pulling out a full-sized vacuum cleaner and broom every time I made a small mess was beginning to feel tedious — until I found the Odistar Desktop Vacuum.
This small but mighty vacuum helps me keep my workspace clean and is super easy to store due to its compact nature. Now, I don’t have to stress about cleaning up all the small messes that I make throughout the week. All I have to do is reach for the Odistar and let it take care of the rest.
Odistar Desktop Vacuum Cleaner
This desktop vacuum makes cleanup a breeze and is easy to store, so I can always have it within reach. It picks up everything from dust to crumbs to large debris. The vacuum also comes with a brush that makes cleaning the dustbin easy. It's available in several colors and comes in USB-rechargeable and battery-powered versions.
How I found the Odistar Desktop Vacuum Cleaner
Like many people my age, I tend to find a lot of the products I use on TikTok. I’m on the side of the app where creators show off all the useful gadgets they use to make their lives easier and keep their homes tidy. So when I saw someone on my TikTok feed raving about the Odistar mini vacuum, I knew I had to get it.
I use my desk for pretty much everything — from taking meetings to gaming to doing my makeup — which means random debris is always piling up on my workspace. Instead of pulling out a dustpan or vacuum just to clean up a small mess, I could reach for this handy device. Not only was it compact, portable and cheap, but it also came in my favorite color — pink!
Why the Odistar Desktop Vacuum is a score
At 3-inches high and 2.5-inches wide, this tiny vacuum packs a punch. I expected it to be a bit janky for a cleaning tool because of its price, but after using it, I can confidently say that its abilities are quite the opposite of what I expected. The suction power is impressive and quickly removes crumbs and other debris from my desktop.
I live in a cramped space, but I didn’t even have to think twice about adding this product to my cart. I can easily store it in my desk drawer without worrying about extra clutter. I also appreciate that it’s cordless so I don’t have to unplug other appliances to find a free outlet. It’s available in both USB-rechargeable and battery-powered versions — I have the latter, which requires two AA batteries (not included).
If you tend to be a bit messy (like me), having this mini vacuum within arm’s reach is a game changer that helps me feel like at least one part of my life is organized and tidy.
