I used to have one from Morris. after about 6-7 recharges, the mini-vacuum doesnt last more than 30 seconds of continuous usage.  :thumbdown:

if u are buying... do get the kind thats meant for Cars... the power supply is from our car... try not to get those "rechargable" kind thats meant for all purpose use.

i'm using the Black & Decker Car Vacuum, $39.  :thumbsup:  its been with me for 2yrs.

I got mine from autobacs too but it sucks, the power is not good enough to clean up the debris. So much better to use the home kind... not a speck of dust left...

Bought a Philips vacuum for $19.90 abt 3 years ago, initially used for clearing dirt for my room carpet as well as for car. Not recommended to use rechargable ones...recharged for 1-2hrs can last for only 60s max! Better to get one of those that can be charged from the car, as recommended by Garf83 too! B&D good review!  :thumbsup:

Get a B&D. Or something that has replacement parts easily available.

Get those powered by car CLA. Don't use rechargeable type too. 12V car vacuums are powerful. THose batts run 6V or 9.xV, quite weak and don't last long.

 I got those elcheapo type $20 i think. Autobacs has those too. It's a round type. Cant even find replacement filters. Now the dust bag got holes... dust go in one side, come out the other side  :out: I am throwing/giving mine away. Any bros here adventurous and would like to fix it can grab it from me.

B&D for me... HomeFix abit expensive. Anywhere can get cheap?

BTW the queue to Autobacs on weekend is  :scared:
