Does anyone have any recommendations? Been looking at a vax gator, certainly can't afford the dyson. Many people use them in their vans?

We have a small cylinder vacuum. It fits beneath the front drawers, and we store the tubes under one of the seats. It is a Bissell and currently half price at Argos (£34.99) it is a really good cleaner.

Annoyingly, the Bissell is out of stock in Blackburn, Bolton and Preston.

Thanks jaqugra will have a look.

Dustpan and brush does a job but find it frustrating in some aspects and think a little vac would be great.. Especially with 2 mucky young kids!

There was an earlier post that recomended at Synergy 1400w vacum cleaner. Sold at Pondstretcher reduced from £24.99 to £19.99. I went out and bought one, have only tried it at home but picks up well although it is very light and tends to turn over easily. But I am sure it will be fine in the caravan. I agree that using a dustpan and brush is frustrating and can take forever.

I have a vax hand held and love it. The charge lasts for ages and its really quite powerful.

I think I'd really like a hand held we can charge up. I bet the dyson is great bald eagle but I can't stomach the price to be honest

Bought a dual vacuum from Dunelm Mill. £30.00.  Upright but with a detachable piece that looks like one of the hand helds you can buy but electric not battery powered. Lightweight and does the job. Can't remember the make though.

No Bernie, there is actually a remote controlled one if you want to be really lazy.
Happy harwoods, mine is a Vax Libretto and it does pick up well in the van. It has a nozzle with it which is very useful for collecting spiders and also very easy to empty.

I've got a little Dirt Devil (red cloth bag), works well in the caravan, and great for the stairs at home too.
