Car Vacuum

ThemeOne

Can anyone recommend a decent vacuum for the car please?

It would have to be either a cordless model or one that runs off the 12V car socket.

Expensive but I've not long ago bought a Dyson V6 Car & Boat. It's great and comes with plenty of attachments, battery is good enough to do the whole car if done regularly enough (I do mine once a week).

I got mine from Aldi, they may still have some online, £50 cheaper than amazon IIRC.

Every 12V car vac I have had has been rubbish. Flimsy, no power, don't work well. These days I use a Dyson domestic pull-along type using the nozzle and upholstery attachments. It works very well, but running the cord out from the house is a hassle. I will investigate the Dyson battery model as I rate the two Dysons we have (upright and pull-along) very highly.

Unless it is totally impractical e.g. you live at the top of a tower block, then you're domestic vacuum with or without an extension lead will do a better job.

I have a Dyson V6, which replaced an older Dyson cordless.


Both excellent vacuum cleaners. So much so that I use the cordless Dyson around the house now instead of getting the 'big' Dyson Ball out as it's quick, powerful, light and more than enough battery to do a couple of rooms properly.


It's actually better at picking up pet hair than the full-size Dyson.

I have recently bought a Dyson V6 Trigger Pro on my neighbours recommendation and have to say I am impressed, excellent suction for general cleaning and pet hair in the house and car, but it only comes with a plug in charger however on Ebay you can buy a wall mount charger which it can be left plugged into so it is always fully charged when needed.

They are excellent - mine came with a wallmount charger included though.

Looks like the latest ones don't, however the one on Ebay is a genuine Dyson mount and hardly broke the bank at £16.:)
