Which one makes sense... I am tired of dragging my corded vacuum all the way to the car... It is a huge chore and annoying as fuck. Also I would love to have a portable one for my house as well, since I don't have carpets but I do have tons of small spills etc.

:waxer: DYSON with British accent tech...
It is exactly what I need but at $220 that is just :disgust:

Black and decker :poorvette: spec ?
It is kind of a :derp: design... why would I need the nozzle to fold? :wtf: i need a hose doe... for hard to reach places and that attachment doesn't exist. :disgust:

Use whichever shop vac works with your existing cordless tool ecosystem. I use this around the house and in the cars:

How is that?

I have the C3 stuff, and it's all pretty decent.
Been rebuilding my house with it, can't complain.

I don't have a cordless "econosystem" so .... that is not restricting my purchase.

I've got the old Dyson DC59 Animal and it works very well for my needs but it only runs for a little over 20 mins on max power without needing a charge. I have a 900 sq ft two bedroom, two bath condo and if I wanted to vacuum every room in my place, I would run out of juice by the 2nd bedroom, but normally it's a non issue becuase the 2nd room rarely gets used and stays clean. It works great in my car also.

I've had the Dyson for a couple of years without any issue or loss of performance, and the filter is a lifetime/washable unit.

Just get a cheap shop vac to keep by your car.

It's nowhere near as strong as a normal corded shop vac but it fulfills the role of glorified dustbuster really well. I don't think I've taken my actual shop vac out of the closet since I got the cordless one.

That's what I do. I keep a little 2 gallon, 2.5 HP in the garage. Plenty of power and super portable. Mounts on the wall, too. I even use it for cleanup after small jobs in the house when I don't want to lug my big 8 gallon 3 horse up from the basement.
:wap: Where are these mangos?

According to what I have read... it is only 6 puny :jalepenis: minutes on max boost or whatever.

I literally never use a vacuum for more than 5 min. So it is kind of :aintcare: for me... I do want the extendable :flaccid: for car activity...

Ended up with this thing. It's not bad... a bit smaller than I thought. Great form factor though

"charge product for at least 24 hrs before initial use."

:wtf: this isn't a tesla charged through an outlet? it is a god damn vacuum.

I still turned it on to check it out... seems to suck pretty good, but the "mouth" is quite narrow.

It will do great for small clean ups etc, which is exactly why I got it. And it gets rid of female hair quite greatly as well. That was always annoying AF for me, and I had to use tape to collect em since I didn't want to full scale vacuum.

Yeah, my house will have tile and stained concrete. No more places for dirt, dust and hair to hide.
