I have got a mains dyson thing for the house and have an old mains vax which occasionally get wheeled out when doing a "big" clean, but like the idea of a wee hoover just to run around the cars every so often to keep them a bit cleaner - hers is like a mobile gravel skip at times.

Is it better to go 12 volt or battery? Are they a waste of time in general and i'll be cursing they arent mains powered?

Looks cheap and chearful?

Or better to shell out and get one of the dyson handhelds?

If you've already got any half decent cordless power tools (Makita, Dewalt etc), see if you can get a cordless vacuum that runs on the same batteries.

As I've got several of their cordless power tools and batteries, I bought a Makita 18v vac for something like £30 from Screwfix, having found all most other cordless vacs to be either utter crap or that the internal batteries didn't take long to deteriorate.

Not a bad little thing, spot on for cleaning cars/cleaning up after a small child/cleaning the small child, and goes for ages even on a very old 3Ah tool battery.
