Portable Vacuum Cleaners?

[mariesnowgoose]

OK guys, which do you all think is the best portable vacuum for use in campers/mohos?

Over many years I've never found a vacuum cleaner (for the house!) that really lives up to all the hype (apart from a corded Miele cylinder vac).

We only have a leisure battery and 12v in the van (except when on EHU, when we would recharge vacuum battery).

Best suggestions? (cordless, obvs!)

We have been using a dyson car and boat, it comes with a 12v and a 240v chargers plus a range of tools, I find it does a great job in the motorhome and the house.

It is just basically a dyson v6 but with extra tools and a 12v charger.
So a v6 would be ok and just buy a 12v charger separately

We have inherited a GTech, works pretty good.

We have the same - an excellent machine for the motorhome but not cheap!

They aren’t cheap but I tried the cheap ones and they didn’t work.
There are plenty second hand v6 Dyson on marketplace now that are cheap, then buy a12v charger,
Although we have had ours for about 6 years and never had to use the 12v charger yet as the battery seems to last ages,
We charge up at home before setting of, we have just done a month in Europe and haven’t needed to charge it up, since charging it up at home before we left

I use a Ryobi hand held vacuum cleaner, it’s very good and if you already use other Ryobi tools it’s a good option because the batteries are interchangeable. https://uk.ryobitools.eu/cleaning-t...cordless-handheld-vacuums/rhv18/rhv18-1c20gl/

Another vote for Dyson. 8 years nd still going strong.

Another vote for the Dyson, pretty sure it's the car and boat, as a favour I'll let you try it in my van at the Orkney meet.
You're welcome

32v Vax Blade. So good I now use it in the house, it’s far better than the G-Tech, Henry and Dyson -they are now redundant. I need to buy another Vax for the MH.

I've got the Dyson too. Had it for almost 20 years with one (cheap) battery replacement.
