Vacuum Cleaner

A Dyson works great and is very versatile. Pricey, yes but tough to beat.

We use a Dyson handheld and also have a corded yellow something we picked up at Walmart that is an upright. It's fine on the floors but the Dyson is used everywhere else plus for quick jobs on floors.

They all suck.

We did a little research. Our daughter even let us use a Dyson V6 for a while. Handy yes, but not a real performer. Between having 110V available all the time and trouble for us having small rechargable batteries in storage for the winter we just went for a corded type. The Shark Rocket was our final choice. Ironically our daughter took her Dyson home and put a Shark in her RV after using ours.

Forget the battery type and get yourself a Shark Rocket.

Purchase an inverter and use that to power the vacuum.

We like the Dyson so much we have not even tried the Dirt Devil central vac that comes with the Entegra!

I use a Dewalt corded/cordless vacuum for simple vacuuming. It gets used in my shop for small projects but comes along for camping trips. Pretty handy if you happen to already have Dewalt 18v or 20v battery packs.

Another vote for Shark products. In a battery operated handheld, it's hard to beat the Shark Pet Perfect. They come in two flavors at $35 to $50 dollars and clean like a champ. The only downside is a 15 minute or so run time on a battery charge. So, it is a true handheld for cleaning seat cushions, spot cleaning rugs and floors, etc.

For a corded model, the Shark Rocket runs all day and does the same great job. But for a battery handheld, buy a Pet Perfect model and be happy. We have two. One in the S&B, and one in the RV. Good luck!

That is what is on my WIsh LIst as well

And as for the person who said "They all suck" . Well yes. but some do a whole lot better than others.

We use a small dirt devil upright canister that is terrific for the pet hair. It's not battery though, it's 110. I wouldn't want to use just a battery power - doesn't do a good enough job getting the dust and dirt out of the carpet.

Useful for many other projects too.
