Guessing this is the best section for this given it could be "detailing" related hehe

I need a new vacuum to use solely for dry vaccuming of car interiors - I already have a Vax 6131T (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vax-6131T-Multivax-Vacuum-Carpet/dp/B0041MI3W0) for wet stuff and it sucks like a good 'un but the cheap B&Q "performance power" one I use for dry is useless.

Tempted to buy another Vax so I can have one set up for dry and one set up for wet (changing it around isn't an option) but is there better (and cheaper) out there ?

Is there much in it between them? The Karcher is ever so slightly cheaper.

The Karcher MV2 which I assume is the DIY consumer version is a lot cheaper (refurbished) - any experience of those?

The Henry is available from Currys and Argos (and probably plenty of other places, too) for £99.

This is the correct answer.

I have a Henry for in the house and a Karcher for cars/DIY, the Henry sucks well and the Karcher doesn't.

Just to add the stupid hose on the dyson upright cleaners stretches out when you pull it, but when you push it onto the carpet, the hose yanks smaller, pulling the cleaner into the side of the car and generally annoying me.

So don't get one with those hoses!

Closure on this - managed to find a bit of a bargain on a Numatic George (Henry's big brother that does carpet washing etc)

It's fantastic for both uses although I think I'll use my Vax 6131 for dry and the George for wet to save swapping between both modes as originally intended.

Quality of the attachments etc blow the (admittedly much, if buying new) cheaper Vax away.
