    I bought a Beldray BEL01111TTSDIR a few years back - think it was recommended in a car magazine. Decent little hoover, pretty much ‘does what it says on the tin’

    Thank you for that, I'll look into that one.   Any other ideas, please keep 'em coming.

    Does it need to be cordless?  I’ve been a “weekend warrior” car washer for years. Corded beats cordless, every single time.

    Thank you, why does it beat it?  It's a present for someone special and they really do want a cordless.

    Does anyone know of a great cordless car hoover, that has a running time of at least 1 hour on a full charge.  They do three vehicles at a time.

    I bought a Black and Decker cordless from Costco for about 80 bucks a while back. Think they are about 90 bucks now.

    Works as a "car hoover" and conventional. Plus you have the Costco no quibble return. You can't really beat the price or performance, and I've had Shark and Dyson before it.

    Thanks, useful info.  What is the make and model please?  How long does it run on a full charge?

    Corded beats it on:

    - run time;
    - suction;
    - flexibility.

    Regarding the last point. Unless you have an extension on the cordless machine, they’re far to cumbersome to reach into all small areas of a car. If you do have an extension, I found there was a large reduction in suction.

    They have a 50m extension electric cable, so that parts no issue.  Are you saying that having an extension reduces suction?

    Sorry, wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean extension able for power.  I meant a hose extension.

    Understood.   What make and model do you use?
