Hand-held Vacuum Recommndation

[Shel_B]

Hi, gang ...

I'm looking for a hand-held vacuum for the carpet and seats in my car. Ideally, it would be great if it could run on battery power and electricity as there will be times electricity would be available. Looking forward to any suggestions.

I have one of these on each floor of my home, and love them.

Makita USA - Product Details -XLC03R1WX4

18V LXT® Lithium-ion Brushless Cordless Compact Stick Vacuum Kit, Trigger w/ Lock (2.0Ah)

I also have one of these for lugging around and putting a long extension hose on.. it works well.

I think they now have a more powerful brushless variant, but it’s probably shorter in runtime, as it takes energy to get more performance. The one ai linked to above was like $99 at HD.

Ive been pleased with both.

Edit, the newer brushless Milwaukee vac looks great, it has a high and low setting, and claims 30 mins on high and 50 on low with an 8Ah battery. That’s pretty great! Granted it’s $199 vs $99 for the one I linked to above, at HD, and both need a battery (which I already had).

if you have dewalt batteries already their cordless mini shopvac or regular small shop vacs are decent.

Picked up the mini shop vac for 50$ last month.
currently around 80$ the hose pulls right out to use without the end.

What other cordless tools do you have? I have many Milwaukee M18 cordless tools so a Milwaukee M18 bare tool vacuum was an obvious choice. That may or may not be a solution for you.

I have the DeWalt 2 gallon which can be used with cord or battery. It's great for using in the vehicles since I don't need to hook up the extension cord. With a 4amh it runs for a long time.

I went with DeWalt since I already had the batteries from my other tools. There are many other options from other brands.

I know Milwaukee and Ryobi also have small battery powered options (not sure if they have cords too). Usually around father's day or black Friday Amazon will have the DeWalt vacuums on sale.

Not exactly a hand held nor a cordless but this vacuum is small and can reach areas instead if you climbing in to get to. It’s great as a quick duty vacuum around the house too.

I have a Makita XCV11Z. It's not the most powerful, but it is very well made and uses the same batteries as my other Makita stuff.

I like my Dirt Devil. Small and powerful enough to get seats and floor clean. Ed

Nice choice, but a little too spendy for what I want. Thanks for the suggestion.

Not hand held, not cordless ... looks good for around the house but not so good for schlepping out to the parking lot.

Shark Cordless
Hands down, the best I've ever used.

The nearby Walmart has it for $39.00. I'll drive over tomorrow and take a look. I like removable brush attachment.

 

[wemay]

Me too. I bought it at Walmart for $39 as well. You won't be disappointed.

I picked up a Black & Decker Pivot. It has a 20 volt lithium battery. I am surprised how well. It works on car messes.
