Battery vacuum advice

[shag]

I have a trailer in a trailer park that has no hydro.
I am looking for a chargeable vacuum not so much for floors but for cleaning window sills,mattress and crevices. Something with lots of tools.
What is the best brand and that holds the charge the longest?
Anything but a Dyson.

Definitely go for the Numatic Cordless Henry canister vacuum. It seems to be the closest thing to a regular bagged canister vacuum - without the cord. Lots of traditional full size tools like a dusting brush and upholstery nozzle for fabric.

They are available here in Canada - just go to Nacecare’s website. I think the price is about CAD$ 600.

Lots of Canadian vacuum shops are offering it too - just search for “Cordless Henry vacuum”....

Cheap

If you are looking for a small hand vacuum the cordless purple shark is awesome.
You can maybe find one used for $20-$30.
I have the royal power team hand vacuum. I have the riccar hand vacuum. I also have the Iona/Regina dirt raider. I have many others but those are the best hand vacuums ever made. The shark is as good if not better than any corded handvac. Its versatile and it's quiet and effecient.
I've not seen the Henry but it's a Henry so it must be pretty good.
The shark I found on eBay refurbished $53.00 free shipping.

Not sure if someone living in a trailer park that can't afford power can afford a $600 vac.

I'd recommend a Shark IonFlex. If you go on eBay you can find refurbished ones often under $80. New ones are a little bit more. They have a little small hose and brush attachment with other brushes too. The corded ones are cheaper than the battery models but work much the same.

Thanks for sharing the ion flex. I got cordless rotator for my birthday. It does what I expect it to and completely satisfied.
Knowing there is a cordless with a hose shark is something to look into.

I was thinking that Shaq had his trailer as a vacation home that he takes to campgrounds and national parks, not as his primary residence. In any case, I agree that the cordless Henry is a quite expensive, but it can also be used in his main residence as well and seems more robust than the cheaper cordless stick vacs out there.

Ah OK. Yeah I guess it could mean both ways. Where I live I'm used to seeing trailer parks a lot or people living in the country with just a trailer so I interpreted it that way and didn't think about a camping trailer. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Also the cool thing about the IonFlex that makes it handy for a trailer is it folds in half and you can put it inside a cupboard, or take it apart entirely and fit it in a school backpack under the bed or in a cubby hole. It has a multitude of ways you can combine the attachments and you can even attach the powerhead right to the motor for cleaning the bed or couches and such. I think it would be really cool for a trailer.

When I myself had a travel trailer I had a Eureka Optima and that was a very lovely vacuum for that purpose and did a fine job cleaning everything.

I bought a Hoover Cruze on a whim and have been very happy with it. No it is not a full size vacuum, it is a stick with a power nozzle that has a very small rotating brush that will wrap with pet hair very rapidly.

I use it more for quick clean ups or touch ups. Then the hard floors in the bath and one bedroom. It is one of those that I would buy again if I needed too.

Definitely take a look at a Henry cordless with two batteries you can go about an hour of cleaning on the highest setting.

Oh wow, that Henry cordless is pretty small. I always thought that they made it huge like the other normal electric ones that are kind of similar to Shop-Vac size. Yeah that might work too - I don't know what kind of tools it has but I'm sure the hose can fit other brand's tools I bet.
