Are there any decent cheap dustbusters

The time to worry about dust is when the doors jam on it when you open them. 

We used to take a little dirt devil cleaner with us, it was very good but took up much needed storgae space. So back to dustpan and brush and mini Bissell carpet sweeper (which does a good job!) Plus a good clean out when we get home.

We have the Dyson cordless. It works well but is very expensive and the battery doesn't last very long. One characteristic of lithium batteries is that when the charge runs out they just suddenly stop with no warning. We took ours away with us but soon reverted to dustpan and brush. Occasionally on a long trip we take the carpets out and give them a good shake and beat.

As you can tell, I am not a great fan of cordless but if you can get a mains device then fine. After 30 years of caravanning we find simplest is best.

We use a Gtec(the cheapest it was£29) that we got a couple of years ago its rechargable and has a rotating brush that we find is fine for carpets, and the long handle detaches,so can be used on upholstry 

A few years ago I bought a cheap dust buster on line. It worked very well, but sounded like a jet aircraft on take off. It had to go. Now a gtech machine is used, but cheap it is not. Maybe the dustpan and brush still has a place.

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

We also have this machine, for a unit for use on EHU it is very effective. Its super long cable makes it good for car cleaning.

Re cordless, I don't feel that battery technology is there yet for cheap, powerful and effective all together?

Thanks folks.  I really needed a cordless as caravan is kept in storage and we often go without EHU.  I have ordered a vax of Amazon so fingers crossed.

 , Some in 'Lidl' this week too .

Tracy how much was your cordless vax? Cheers mrs bc

There were a few to choose from.  I wanted an 18v one in the hope it is stronger.  I went for this one at £49.99 (cheaper than the vax website). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vax-H85-GA-P18-Cordless-Vacuum-Cleaner/dp/B015QZH2E0/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen-appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1460656172&sr=1-4&keywords=vax+handheld+vacuum+cleaner
