Personally, I find this to be well worth its slightly high price (I paid £110 if memory serves me).
Its really powerful for a handheld and contains all the attachments that I've ever needed to clean the car.

Always managed with a Henry.

That used to be the valeters choice.

We've got one of them, it's good for kitchen spills and stuff but the battery doesn't last anywhere near long enough to be used to clean a car. What do you get, about 6 mins?

Cheers,

I got hold of my mother's blown up drag along Dyson as my outdoor vac...

Replaced the motor with one a little more powerful and got hold of some longer reach attachments for the nooks and crannies from an ancient vacuum. Tube sizes haven't changed much over the years!

Nothing defeats me now wink

The Dyson 'Soft Dusting Brush' is totally excellent for cleaning almost all hard surfaces in the car without scratching.

personally, i don't find the ones with a brush on the end that useful. especially the ones with a 'turbo' brush that spins around. Any powerful hoover with a small nozzle on the end is best. smaller the surface area at the nozzle, the greater the suction power.

Henry.

Powerful, plenty of tools available, plus he smiles at you.

Since I live on second floor of an apartment so no extension cords for me at all. i use the black and decker dustbuster, a hand held one which you can use on both home and car.

I kept the Miele when we replaced with a newer one - plenty on eBay and they're one hell of a sucker!! 2000watts. Mine is 8 years old and brilliant.

I too use Henry and we have the accessory kit with it which comes with loads of useful adaptors/fixings.

Have you tried using the hose bit that comes out of the top?
