# Telescoping Handheld Vacuums The VC500 Vacuum Gets into Hard-to-Reach Areas of the Car and Home By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-03-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-vacuums References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/03/24/where-no-vacuum-has-ever-cleaned-before/) Those who live in smaller homes or who want a more precise way to clean their space can make use of handheld vacuums like the conceptual design of the VC500 seen here. The VC500 features an expansive telescoping snout and hose that work to make cleaning crevices in the home and in the car far easier than with traditional vacuum designs on the market. With technology items for the home getting more efficient than ever, the size of these products is beginning to shrink in order to satisfy preferences for better storage and usage. The VC500 acknowledges this and offers advanced functionality in a [compact frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-robotic-vacuum-cleaners) that doesn't require extensive space in order to be used. It makes precision cleaning possible without the need for oversized equipment. The VC500 handheld vacuums are the design work of Yu-Chung Chang and Cheng-Yu Yang. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Telescoping Snout:** The trend of telescoping snouts in handheld vacuums allows for more precise and efficient cleaning in hard-to-reach areas. - **Compact Design:** The trend of compact designs in handheld vacuums caters to the preference for better storage and usage while maintaining advanced functionality. - **Precision Cleaning:** The trend of precision cleaning in handheld vacuums eliminates the need for oversized equipment and enhances the cleaning experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance:** The home appliance industry can benefit from the trend of telescoping snouts and compact designs in handheld vacuums, providing consumers with more efficient cleaning options. - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can leverage the trend of telescoping snouts in handheld vacuums to offer efficient and convenient cleaning solutions for hard-to-reach areas in cars. - **Design:** The design industry can capitalize on the trend of precision cleaning in handheld vacuums, creating innovative and user-friendly products for better cleaning experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cubic Handheld Vacuum Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-box-vacuum-cleaner.md) - [Sleek Mini Car Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-car-vacuum.md) - [Artful Handheld Vacuum Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-vacuum-1.md) - [Decor-Inspired Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-vacuum-concept.md) - [Compact Automotive Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evo-cleaner.md) - [Ultra-Slim Stick Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-pencilvac.md) - [Tubular Handheld Vacuum Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy-homevac-h11.md) - [Window Vacuum Cleaner Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-concept.md) - [Lightweight Handheld Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigii-mx20.md)
