240v hand compact vacuum

[fjweaver]

I'm looking for a 240v hand held compact vacuum that I can leave on the boat (I've got a rechargeable but it's next to useless especially coping with dog hairs)

A wet & dry would be a bonus but happy with just a dry one but can only find one on the net - B&D VH780

any one know of this or any other?

thanks
Frank

Do not consider the battery Dyson. It dies after five minutes work.

thanks but really don;t want chargeable one - plus it's a bit pricey for what i want

cheers

I have one of these draper handheld vacuums

http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/sp-2-6886-30368-draper-600w-hand-held-vacuum-cleaner-240v.asp

£22 plus delivery.

Seems fine for the price. Enough suction and smaller (and less heat) than a full size cleaner.

I have a Morphy Richards model 73106 (which I can't find on their website), but a friend bought one recently. Its a small hand held mains vacuum with a powerful motor, and not very expensive. I don't have a pet, so can't comment on its hair collection capability, but its great for sawdust etc (in small quantities). Much better than a black and decker 12v one that I had, or a cheap (€15) 12v wet and dry that I still have - but only use for wet suction.

I've got the B&D dustbuster at home and on boat and think it's great. Nice and powerful, but dry stuff only. Comes with several different end fittings to get to awkard places and very easy to empty and has useful long flex. I've tried several 240v ones and IMHO this is the best as some are a real pain to empty. Tesco sell it for £29.99 I think?
