12v Car Vacuums

Can anyone recommend one?

I've eye'd up this badboy

http://www.amazon.co.uk/BLACK-DECKER.../dp/B002JCSCUW

But would rather go with something ppl have tried and tested as needs to be able to remove dog hairs.

My detail guy uses a Shark. Not sure of the model number but I'll ask him if he drops by the shop today. From my experiences with Black and Decker, I'll never buy another Dust Buster again. They do make great toasters though!

I recently bought the upgraded model:

It's pretty good & great for cleaning the car out but dog hairs are a pretty tall order & I have my doubts that it'd be powerful enough?

I ended up ordering the one in the link I posted, it arrived today.

It's a tidy little device! sucks up crumbs/loose hairs/small stones/dry leaves - perfect for what I want it to do.

Can 100% approve this item for any other tidy OCD freaks out there.

I held off from getting one, reading that 12V vacuums just don't have the power. What do you think? I'm very interested to hear your review.

Bought one of these from Costco the other week

Its pretty good for £30 - Best if used with the car engine running to get full power from the vacuum

They had one on display. It's certainly a nice little unit.
