Suggestions for a good car vac?

[MarkDavis]

Bought one those handheld Halfords ones years ago but it was crap and had no suction power.

Any good suggestions? Could do with one that has a carpet brush as well.

They're all as bad as each other in my experience. Is there any reason why you can't buy a long extension lead and use your household vacuum cleaner?

That's a shame, thought one might come in handy. Oh well.

never get one of these, I got one for a boat I owned last year useless. Unless you spend big bucks!!! much better of with a dustpan + brush or a rubber set of mats you can dust off.

Dyson + an extension plug

It's truly wicked, Proper suction for a battery that draws a constant power and will just stop when flat, so no loss of suction, Vac mine out every week now with it and the car is truly spotless.

I love it, granted not got the balls of a big dyson but more than enough really.

15 mins constant power or 6 mins in MAX mode will see you right.

Love it

This seems to get good reviews.

I have the same, and highly recommend it. Best handheld vac out there and just enough time on a full charge to do the car.

There was a price miss match in Curry's Was Advertised for £179 but on the POS was £140!! Sold

Agreed, Henry + extension lead = best car vac.

Does that Dyson have good suction for carpets? Also how do you get it in between seats? Does it not come with a hose?

This review seems to say its still not as good as a full sized vac: http://www.trustedreviews.com/dyson-dc34-animal_Vacuum-Cleaner_review_performance-and-verdict_Page-2

Since originally starting this thread I've read a few reviews of car vacs and they say that they're pretty for sucking up anything other than biscuit crumbs on seats!

Great for carpets really great!

You get 3 accessories with one is a narrow crevice tool, a mini turbine head for carpets and a bit with a soft brush so will combat all areas without fuss!

They work well (something I don't usually say about Dyson products), but they're bloody expensive for what they are.

bucket & spade... depending on how bad it is

 

[Matt82]

i use my normal hoover and an extension lead, which works fine, unless you want to hoover the car whilst in traffic?

I got one of these http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-v...leaner/213-0282.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=213-0282

Perfect cheapy for a car, it was given to me and did an amazing job on my cars.

The Karcher do wet and dry ones for car and workshop which are under £50 as well.
