    Anyone using handheld vacuum cleaners, and what brands/models are any good? OH wants one for around the house, but we might as well get a decent one while we're about it, and I bet I'll use it in the car. (See, it's motor detailing, not a girly question at all).

    most of the hand held ones i used were crap. nothing beats a normal hoover and a long extension lead, and just drag it out to the garden and hoover the car with it.

    although i havent used those hand held dyson's yet so.

    Wouldn't mind a recommendation here either.. rather not go down the extension lead route!

    I have one of those handheld dysons, expensive, does a great job, pretty powerful etc etc, but only lasts about 10 mins max when charged, sometimes less. so you pretty much have to store it in the charger otherwise it will always give up before you are finished using it. Otherwise it's pretty much as good as using the small attachment on the normal dyson.

    Not sure what they can do differently though, it's good because it's powerful so therefore it flies through the battery..

    The Dyson one is supposed to be very good.

    Some of the tool companies do ones that work off their cordless batteries. (De Walt, B&D and Ryobi do, not sure abotu others).

    Is that not the point of the charger?

    I cant speak for all these but I got one a good while ago, don't know what make it was but it was absolutely useless. If I stuck a straw in my mouth and used that it would have been better. Only problem with that is the dust could not be emptied from my stomach unless I put two fingers in my throat:D
