We're looking for a lightweight hoover probably a hand held one with great suction we have young kids & they trail all sorts in. We'll have a quick vac at the end of the day.

Can anyone recommend one please?

Thanks

Barbara

We've got a rechargeable Vax. It's got good suction and really last well on a charge. As it's a lead acid battery it's a bit heavier than others, but that also means the batter is more robust and should last a lot longer.

Try one of these

weighs 3Kg and uses about 3.1 amps

We bought one for use in our caravan and it folds up nicely into a small bundle to keep in the foot locker. Can be used as a hand held or with the extension pipes you strap it over the shoulder. Works really really well. If you check the Lakeland website and find something else you fancy to bring the total cost up to £50 then postage is free. Better still take your Van up to Windermere and visit the shop.

When we were looking for a small vac we looked at loads of rechargeable and found that many needed to be on charge for longer than the amount of use you could get out of it. So, in terms of power, it used more charging then it would if you just vac'd the whole van attached whilst plugged into the socket.

Is it the DC31 that you've got?

Hi, its the DC30 - its great. Our dog is moulting at the moment so an unbelievable amouint of long haired dachshund hair in the waste compartment when I cleaned the carpet in the caravan!
