Which hoover do you use? (1 Viewer)

[scek]

We have a dyson DC34 handheld, but only get about 6 mins of use before it dies, which is useless when wildcamping. We also have a crappy cheap 12v vac which won't pick anything up and we end up brushing the carpet.

Hoover? Can you not use a brush like every body else?​

 

[scotjimland]

'hoovering' and 'wild camping' ... surely an oxymoron

We have one of these, they are great. They hold a good charge too. Its got its special place in the bottom of the motorhome wardrobe.
It gets plenty of use , once a day to get up all the ginger dog hairs and biscuit crumbs
We bought one for my gran , once her hoover got too much for her too . They are light just like the old fashioned carpet sweepers you used to be able to get , and come with a removable long handle.

I too wild camp, I too have a handheld, rechargeable Dyson... where we differ is that I find 6 full minutes of vacuuming enough to last any true Englishman a couple of months at least...

Park on a slope with the habitation door sloping down hill and open the drivers & passengers door`s..

we have a small 12v cylinder type vacuum, looks like a biscuit barrel, which couldn't suck ash from an ashtray, but it looks like I'm making the effort when I do use it.

[Gromett]

Think of all the exercise you'd get if you'd only try doing

And that is about the point where you lost me :Tongue1:

I have a 2 foot by 5 foot bit of floor. I can sweep it in oooh all of 10 seconds.

I have a 12v hoover however to pickup all the breadcrumbs from around the kitchen worksurface and bed covers.

I'll go and ask her, hang on a minute she's asleep........................................................... ........................................................................ ...........................................................well, difficult to write one handed with a sore eye as well. Turns out we've got a Bl**dy useless 12volt thingy which wouldn't suck flour of a work surface and a dustpan and brush.

Where do we keep it? hang on I'll go and wake her again.........................................
................................................................I can't play anymore she says I've got to go in............Griff

I'm the permanent sweeper upper in our van...... !

I use a small short handled broom, handle only about 24 inches long, bought in Intermarche in France for €3... Hangs up on a hook in a locker when not in use.

Takes me all of 2, sometimes 3 minutes to sweep the van out.....

It's brill, cheap and lightweight, and does not need any charging, unlike me who has to recharge on either Stella, Becks, or a drop of Red each evening.

I use the one that is built into the american rv which seems to work fine unless I am running the dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer at the same time as the icemaker in the full size fridge/freezer and microwave whilst watching a dvd and the lad is on his xbox..which of course infuriates me...not the xbox but the lack of power from the onboard genny.....

I love to wildcamp
