Hi

Any recommendations for a small but powerful 12v vacuum cleaner? It’s only for a campervan and mainly for sand and dog hairs!! 

Many thanks

    12 volt vacuum cleaners are normally pretty ineffective. Though some are costly, I reckon you'd be better off with one of the cordless Dysons or Gtec cleaners.

    I have a lot of Makita cordless tools and even have drill in van for steadies, so son for my birthday got me a bare ( without battery ) Makita cordless vacuum and use the same batteries that's in the van. It's good enough for us but we don't have pets to say it's any good for hairs.

    I have a good old fashioned Black and Decker plug in dust buster. We have a dog and sand. It copes quite well. Cheap and works for me.

    We have a Dyson Animal, it operates at a higher voltage but we do have a 12volt charger for it. Using it daily in our caravan, a charge lasts several weeks, and it is very effective in removing our dog's hairs from the carpets. We bought it from the Dyson refurbish centre at a considerable discount off the new price.

    Yep, got one of those 😉, at least once a day in my van. Works fine in the heparin floor but not so well on the carpet.

    ditch the carpets?wink

    we prefer our wooden floor, carpets just get dirty and are at home. so easy to brush out (or vacuum) a wooden floor.

    did your question, re 12v, mean that you wanted to be able to use it off grid?

    if so go with the cordless, and 12v charger as suggested earlier.
