Default Re: 12v vacuum cleaner

I've got a Ryobi One+ hand vacuum that I use for around the house. I occasionally use it in the car as well for a quick touch up. I use the 1.5Ah Lithium battery with it and I probably get around 5 hours / if not longer of use out of it before i recharge.

I'm happy with it.

The main reason I have the makita is because as a skin (no battery or charger)it was $80 and i roll with a makita drill and impact driver for work and have 3 5 amp batteries and 1 3 amper. So it's no brainer for me, all the batteries are interchangeable and I use them every day. The dust buster is something everyone's mum or grandma has always had and they do a decent job. Maybe not as well as a reputable tool brand, but for day to day.

The trouble with all the dust buster type portable handhelds is they cannot reach or get into all the nooks and crannies there are in a car's cabin.

I gave up on them long ago... Nothing beats a proper vacuum with a long flexible hose and attachments.

That's the thing. If you have multiple things that use the same battery then your batteries stay maintained. That aids in longevity

A bit off track & I realise they're not to everybody's taste, but these work very well as they have a raised surround that catches all the crap & are well made/heavy duty.

Dyson have an excellent rechargeable hand held and they make a 'Çar Cleaning Kit' which works well.

+1 for the Dyson stick vacuum.

Hello,
I use 2 dollar dustpan and broom,a 2 inch paintbrush for tight spots, its not hard and cleans as good or better than a 12v plug in job, which only hold a tablespoon of dirt on the cone filter before they fail to suck anything, never mind pebbles!

Cheers Billy.
