Dyson DC16 is £99 so over budget but at least it works

http://www.dyson.co.uk/store/product.asp?product=DC16-SY-STD (http://www.dyson.co.uk/store/product.asp?product=DC16-SY-STD)

It only runs for 6-8 mins before needing a recharge but I find it great for keeping the car clean week to week.

Every other week or so I vaccuum the seats, shake the mats - replace them and run the Dyson round the edges and over the dash - keeps the car looking great.

However it will never take away the need to get the full vac out every 3-4 months and do all the hard to reach spots.

I take mine to the nearest garage - 40p and it is a lot more powerful than any portable, sucks little children up if you're not careful :evil:

By your budget that is 125 vacuums - at once every week that is about 2.5 years and by then your rechargable would be bugg3red anyway :wink:

In an emergency I use the Dyson. :cool:

Dyson looks good , but you know youve lost it when youre spending >£100 on a hand held vacuum  :grin:
Id love one
Looks like something out of Alien too  + looks like its a wrist killer.......

I only ever get the last before current working vacuum to use on the car....
just paranoid about scratching the sills with hose etc.

That dyson would look so  :cool: hanging in the garage  :evil: sad me ? yep :nerd:

Not a portable one but I use the Dyson Animal in mine. Sucks everything up and the carpets are lucky to be there afterwards :shocked:

I've got the black and Decker 12v auto vac, works a treat on seats and carpets. I tend to brush the mats as they get covered in mud around here.

It cost me £12 from my local focus DIY store.
