I am looking for the above, for the van. I don't want to spend a fortune but want something that will be reliable and pick up dog hair. We spend about 60 nights away on average.
Any recommendations, thanks in advance

This thread got me looking because we'll be taking Bod to Benidorm with us and she makes lots of mess throwing seed about 🙄🥰

I found one on amazon that looks very compact, like a hairdryer and gets good reviews.. Good suction etc £30. There are fakes on ebay though for about £8.
Has anyone used one?

Been looking for a while and can not make up my mind. We want a cordless, brand name (Dyson or Gtech), but want to be able to charge via 12v USB, any ideas??

Long time
Dyson hand held Animal, motor driven brush attachment picks up all the dog hair.
Expensive to buy but mine is 15 yrs old now, just cleaned all the filters and sucking like a good’un.
Charge up on inverter whilst driving.
Dyson don’t do a 12v charger, wouldn’t want to trust a generic one, vacuum too dear to ruin.

This is what we use. Sits on the wall at home and is used as the house hoover. Just take it with us when we travel and charge using invertor. Super powerful and picks up all dog hair.
Handy hint:
We started using the motor-powered brush attachment to hoover the drop down bed sheet every day before putting the bed back up. It is amazing how much ‘stuff’ (we assume it must be our skin) it picks up every day, a ball of fluff the size of a ping pong ball, every day without fail. We plan to continue this new habit even when we are no longer living in a camper. Seems a good way to minimise the chances of insect nasties getting a hold by dramatically reducing potential food sources.

And before the comedians comment - yes we do both shower every day and we do change sheets every few days….

Get a used Dyson on eBay. Make a charger to runoff your 12v system!

We use our old Dyson. Got it mounted in the rear locker where it’s permanently plugged into a 13a socket. Whenever we do get EHU it automatically charges. Never let us down yet.

I have a hand held Makita rechargeable battery operated vacuum cleaner! It is made for Trade use and is very powerful. Excellent unit. The vacuum cleaner was fairly cheap to buy but the batteries are more pensive. I have a range of Makita tools so had batteries and charger already. Two Golden Retriever dogs - so a good vacuum cleaner is a must. One fully charged battery will last many weeks away.

Just looking
Which handheld Dyson is best? I've had a look and there seems to be no end of them!
At home I use Shark hoovers. A light cordless one for every day, which is fantastic, but is a bit too bulky to store in the m/h, then a corded monster that I can't manage because of arthritis in my back and knees, so my other half uses that for a deeper clean!

I need a lightweight hoover with good battery life and obviously good suction

We got a cheapo Goodmans (?) from B&M. Works great. Picks up dog hair. Used daily. Single charge can last 10 to 14 days

I second the makita choice, yes battery is pricey but I use it for vacuum, tyre pump and small leaf blower for clearing site!

We have a Milwaukee vacuum cleaner (aka "the teapot in the trade). I think it was about £100, so very reasonable if you already have a (Milwaukee) battery. More than powerful enough for use in the MH, even with the two dogs sharing their fur.

I take my Bosch rechargeable upright. It’s lightweight easy to use and sorts out a GSD hair quickly.

I use a Shark hand held model for Moho & cars.
Normally £79.99 but got it for £49.99 in a sale; paid for with a £50 Amazon voucher courtesy of YouGov surveys, so cost me nothing apart from a few hours filing in pointless surveys :dance2:

I agree! I've had several different 12v plug in and rechargeable vacuums and this one is by far the best. Battery only lasts 10 minutes, but no problem in the van. I recharge from an Anker Solix. It's so compact too 🙂 Mine was £59, but got it "free" with Asda double up vouchers a few weeks ago.

Buy a Dyson, and when you are not travelling use it in the house. Having had an old hand held Dyson that the battery died, I must say don't try and find one on Ebay. Treat yourself to a new one for you to use in the motorhome and quickie clean ups in your house! You won't be sorry!
