Are there any decent cheap dustbusters

I used to have "dustbusters" to clean my car when I was younger but they were next to useless.  I wondered if 20 years later there are any decent ones out there which won't break the bank.

Having a dog we are in and out the caravan  regularly whatever the weather.  It would be great to have something that we could either take away or take up to storage easily to clean up the dry mud that gets trailed in (on a postive he doesn't shed hair).  Does anyone have a recommendation which they have been happy with.

Hi Tracey, when you say cheap what sort of price?  The reason I ask is that I do have a fantasitc recommendation and I don't consider it expensive when I take into account the results.  It's an AEG handheld with rotating brush head, hose and nozle so there isn't anything it can't do.

I was thinking about £40...I'm between jobs at the minute so trying to economise.  However, if you cannot get anything decent for this I would rather save my money and get something better when I'm working.

For  pure  efficiency  there's  always  a  darn  good  stiff handbrush  &  dustpan,  1T1,  should  clean  up  as  well  as  anything,  always,  of  course,  assuming  you  can  spend  the  time  on  your  knees !!  Hope  you  soon  get  back  into  harness  &  you  can  afford  that  top of the range  Dyson ==  You  know  the  one,  its  got  solid  gold  tubes  on  it  Innocent

Thank you Catherine.  It also has good reviews from the John Lewis website.  However, am I correct in thinking I would need to be on EHU and have this plugged in?  Ideally we were looking for something we could charge, however, will keep this in mind as an alternative if there are no recommendations for cordless.Happy

I borrowed mil's cordless dyson and it was pointless!!  We use a mini vac from Lakeland which was about 40 pounds... I also use it to vac pac the bedding etc before we put the van into storage so it keeps everything clean and dry and dust free while the van is in storage

Ok well the one I have in mind is £44 from John Lewis.  Google AEG AG71A

......and only 2.6kg in weight.
