me and the mrs are going to donington tomorrow afternoon (friday) for the car show. im gonna get some exterior cleaning done today, but as the cars on a club stand for show, i want to give it a real good clean inside.

but i havent got a hoover as my house is all laminate/tiles.

can anyone recommend a small hoover i can use to clean my car out with, with good suction and relaiblilty. i bought a cheapo £25 jobby from b&q and it went boom straight away.

say a budget of £50, looking in argos etc as i need asap really, and could do with buying today if possible.

im pants with this sort of stuff and dont want to buy a huge hoover i canny get into all the nucks and crannies in the car interior.

cheers in advance wise ones

Get a Henry mate. A little bit more at around £80 but very reliable and good suction. Use mine to clean car all the time.

Why no hoover just because you still have tiles / laminate? I find it far better to suck up dust / fluff / hair etc with hoover than brush etc.

henry gets my vote, use one at work pretty much every day

i got lucky and found a broken one stored at the carwash when i took over, cost me about £30 for a new motor, been running for about 2 years since with no issues lol

Bought one of these for the sole purpose of cleaning the crap in the loft. It coped with that and is still going strong.

Henry rocks!

As someone on here once said: "He's red, he's round, he sucks stuff off the ground" I don't know why but that's stuck in my mind and every time I use him I think of that

You sure thats a Hoover?

Looks like a MegaDeathRay VII from the Colonial Overlords of the Planet Zargon.


(Which makes it cool-as in my immature little mind obviously! )

thanks for the suggestions. me and the mrs have never bothered with a hoover mainly as she insists on sweeping the house most days. oh and polishing the laminate with furniture wipes... which is fun when you have socks on

silly b***h. anyways, ive seen a couple in argos that take my fancy round £50. mainly gonna be used for the car, so as long as its reliable and sucks half decent, im not bothered about a brand name. im certainly not paying £250+ for a dyson that will only suck the car clean

henry without a doubt, we have one and its much better than our other £250 miele crap

I'm not trying to be funny, but are you specifically looking for a "Hoover", or will any other make of "vacuum cleaner" do?
As I see it, if you limit your choices to "Hoover", you will seriously limit your your options. There are many other makes of vacuum cleaner that are probably better, cheaper, etc.

The dyson above is only about 80 quid. best thing out there for doing the car

Those cordless dysyons look the part, but they couldn't suck the skin off a rice pudding.

Have you used this particular model? It works very well for me.

bought a little 1600 watt panasonic one from argos. £49.99 from £59.99. had the HEPA filter too for smog etc with me being asthmatic will help.

gonna get it out and try it on the car tomorrow.

Another vote for Henry............

Being asthmatic,is it surely not safer to suck particles up off laminate/tiles,than push it round the atmospere for you to breathe in with a broom?

possibly, but i have a vacumm for my car now, thats the main thing. the house and mrs are secondary, they both know this...
