They are all terrible. Think the only battery powered ones that sort of work are the £300+ Dyson variety
Even then....Better off getting s small good vac like them German ones, linde / Bissett? And an extension
A2 are prob on my shopping list, want big sun roof and leather and auto 1.4 tdi, and less than £2k, literally asking moon in the stick though :s

Battery in the latest handheld we do (V8) is actually very good compared to the older V6's (and still miles ahead of closest competitors) Easily enough for an estate interior on one charge. A lot of people base their opinions of handheld machines on the performance of very old models, motor and battery performamce has improved massively in the last five years, especially as we design our own motors and batteries from the ground up to work together for good performance, whereas most other companies just buy in motors and batteries from whichever supplier makes the cheapest option. A huge amount of money and R&D went into the development of the V8 motor alone. Probably more than our competitors put into designing a whole machine.
A lot of companies have been investing heavily into battery R&D over the last few years, as that's the way everything is going.... Batteries are the FUTURE, and whoever makes the next breakthrough in battery technology is going to make a lot of money.

Anyone use a hand-held, battery powered vacuum for mucking out the car? If so, and it's any good, what is it?
