I would be interested in this to, not for cleaning though but for putting duvet in vacuum bags for storage

We tried several 12v vaccums and they were all pants so decided to get a Dyson car & boat from Aldi a few weeks back, awesome suction power and does not take up too much room

We have a one of these VAX but it doesn't come with us. For vacuum bags I just apply some weight, i.e. sit on it. Normally enough to get a pretty flat pack.

We use a Black & Decker DustBuster Flexi with a rechargeable Lithium battery as we haven't found a good 12v vac.

I presume this is the same suction unit as the cordless Dyson we have at home for the stairs. I agree - awesome suction power. Pity it's 24V rather than 12V from a charging point of view. But then again I guess Dyson know what they are doing and they couldn't generate the suction with a 12V battery. So recharge is on hook-up only.

What's wrong with a good dustpan and brush . Takes up very little room and good exercise after being on the beer the night before.

Does anyone have a very small hoover/dust buster that they keep in their vehicle to use whilst away? I am not keen on the type which plug into the old cigarette lighter plugs as I have used one in the past but it wasn't very powerful and the attachments were, oddly as it was supposed to be for a car, too big to get into the small spaces around the seats.

I was wondering about something which could be charged up when on EHU and so would run on its own battery power when not. Obviously I would want something quite small to store. I do have a brush and dustpan!

I have the small dyson with a 12v charging base but dont actually take it with us..

Our Dyson handheld came with a 12 volt charger so we can charge it when not on ehu. It is excellent for vacuuming the van carpet, especially the dog hair from our Labrador.

I used to have a very cheap red plastic cigar-lighter vac from Argos in previous cars. Felt like it'd come out of a cracker but was really effective on car carpets, lost it somewhere along the way, but they're not all rubbish.

Currently have a GoodGrips dustpan & brush that cost twice what that vac did...

I agree with the above, keep the day-to-day mess under control with a brush & have a proper vac out when you get home instead - IMO there's no room onboard a Cali for anything effective enough to earn it's keep.

I bought a battery powered air bed pump. If you use the the inlet hole, it fits perfectly on vacuum packing bags. Works a treat.

I use the Black & Decker Lithium rechargeable. Its brilliant. I got her from an auction in Spain for about £25 brand new. She can charge with a cigarette lighter or 3 pin plug and does a great job. Like to keep her clean when away...
