    Hi all, wanting to get away from lugging the home Hoover into the car! Can anyone recommend a hand held rechargeable vacuum or one that runs off the cigarette charger? These top 2 on amazon have good reviews but does anyone have one that actually has good suction?
    I bought one in Lidl a while back and it was useless!
    I intend to clean it a lot more often ( new car syndrome!!) so hoping it diesnt get really bad I between cleans!

    Sorry can't post links, one was a black and decker and the other was a vax...

    I use the house vacuum to clean the car always, has the small nozzle for the narrow crevices. Find it the best for the job. I have used them small portable things, but in fact they are awkward and won't get into the small areas. I'd stick with the vacuum if you are happy with the results, I'm using the vacuum at least twice a week between the cars and it never really bothered me.

    I know house vacuum is the best but it puts me off lugging the whole thing out etc so I as hoping if I had a hand held I would be encouraged yo do it more often!

    The hand held dysons are probably the best you'll get for this - really expensive though, think we paid like 250 for our one, but it's mainly for the house so was easy to justify - just gets used for the car also, battery pack lasts about 15 minutes which is more then enough for any car really. They start at about €170 or so....

    Yeah I reckon they are all pretty poor apart from the Dyson which is a different class of a handheld altogether. (although... 15mins? expected more!)
    Herself had a 6V "Black & Decker" vacuum - pretty useless really. You might suffer a better version of one of them if you lived in an apartment. But if you have a driveway and a proper vacuum I wouldn't bother with one.
