Any recommendations for a lightweight, small, 12V rechargeable battery operated vacuum cleaner for sucking up all those crumbs?

We've got a GTech Multi that comes with us on longer trips.

It copes with dog hairs pretty well so it won't have any problems with crumbs.

I know it's cordless and rechargeable but it still requires 240v to charge it.

So will anything with a 12V rechargeable battery.

Dust pan and brush for us :) we dont use the carpets so easy. We do have mats a use a stiff brush on them. But thought about a cordless, we had a dirt devil in the past and its suction was weak. :( Will watch thread to see if any good ones come up :)

Funnily enough, we have just be having this very conversation on which vacuum to get, and we were swaying towards a dyson. So, will watch the thread with interest.

Ditto.
Takes next to nothing to charge it. Less than 2 hours and very little draw from the batteries.
Works fabulously too. Tried the cheap options and eventually bit the bullet.
I know they aren't cheap but worth every penny we have two dogs and it picks up all the hair easily

Two straws and a ping pong ball.

After a good game of blow football with the door open, all dust will soon be gone!

No mats, she uses a brush when it builds up!

Another vote for the DC44 Animal. Brilliant for pet hair. We take ours away with us.
The only negative, when using on max, is that it doesn't last long before you have to charge it again.

If you want a cheap solution you could get one of these 12v Black and Decker vacs. I have one and it works well enough in the MH and no worries about recharging. It would not be useful in the home though!

Amazon product ASIN B002JCSCUW
It is currently £34ish, from 3:59pm on Wednesday for a limited time it is going to be a lightning deal on Amazon, they will probably be selling it for around £28.

Not sure what happened there with the above post, I included a link but it is not showing. Search Amazon for:

Ditto, we have one too. We charge it while travelling using the inverter. We have tried a few and this is definitely the best.

We use an old Dirt Devil Handy Zip.. powerful machine..

It's 240v mains, but runs off a 200w inverter .... more powerful than any battery machine.. lifts dog hair no problem ..

They are not made anymore, probably far too good and last too long with no built in obsolescence .. like an expensive battery..

can be bought on eBay and you can still buy paper bags and belts for them..

example ..

My wife came home with a Dyson rechargeable thing last weekend.

She loves it and doesn't seem to stop using it.

She almost had to vacuum me off the floor when she told me it had cost more than £300:Eeek:

Coincidentally a week ago took delivery of bundled Gtech air ram and multi. I have been a Dyson user for last 10 years and am more than impressed with Gtech - far better than Dyson-better designed, far easier to use, easier to empty, lasts far longer, picks up much better - and both units together cost less than the Dyson!

Dyson used on low setting which is powerful lasts ages and does a great job.
Would be interested to know if it could be charged from the batteries without inverter.

I think my wife has an A6 Absolute.

I think the Absolute is short for Absolute Rip Off(y)
