Car vacuum that doubles as a good house vac?
Anyone here have or know of a good hand vacuum that is great at both getting into those hard to reach crevices in cars (ie between the seats and the door, etc) but would still double as a good portable home vac?
My Black and Decker handheld dustbuster just bit the dust (pun intended) and I've been wanting a good car vac for a while so wondering if I can hit two birds with one stone. |

Dyson Animal is my home vacuum. It works great for the car as well. Not cheap but it's got enough battery life to vacuum 1500 sq foot house and lots of suction.

A ShopVac is not something I'd (and certainly not my wife) would want to be using in the house on a regular basis. OP asked for something that can be used for both. Plus the Dyson has a small carpet attachment great for cleaning floor mats and the trunk.

I find the blower portion of the shop vac excellent for doing under car seats and clearing out crevices.
Miele makes some nice canister vacs that double for both home and car, Bed Bath and Beyond sometimes has pretty good sales on them. Thing with Dyson animal is battery life at full power - so google that. Last edited by overcoil; 09-15-2019 at 02:57 AM.. |

But it is handy to have in the garage. It’s one of those tools that no guys garage should be without. |

My wife got my a Dyson V7 Car+Boat Vacuum Cleaner for Christmas and I love it. I use it for my car and for around the house to pick up dust bunnies or to vacuum the chairs or stairs, not as a main vacuum as we have a Big Boi dyson for that
Highly recommend |

I have a quite a few vacuums around the house, and I actually all of them. I don't think I could have just one vacuum that does everything:
- Ridgid shop vac for vacuuming cars, and other "dirty" work - Ridgid shop vac for blow drying the car (use a concentrater for this, works great) - Black & Decker Dustbuster (thing is amazing, and bulletproof) - Dyson DC14 - Dyson V6 Animal |

we have a dyson and mrs beef absolutely loves it. i snuck it down to the garage to use it on the car one time and couldn't figure out how to use the hose... its like a secret button somewhere to release it.
