I am looking for a small vacuum cleaner that really works!! I purchased a small cannister vacuum at Walmart for our TT for space reasons and it really doesn't do a good job. Is there anything out there that you can recommend that really works???
Thanks!!!!!!!
God Bless and Happy Camping!!!

I have a PUP, and really like the Riccor I picked up - might weigh 8 lbs, but suction is great. I got it for it's size and have been very pleased.

Pretty hard to top the cleaning of a good upright vacuum (or even a cheep one).

We have the built in Dirt Devil, Does a very good job of cleaning the trailer when we are on the road for a few days. Is it as good as the Dyson? No, but being built in it is totally hidden, stores easily and works.

We have tried three different vacs including a Eureka Whirlwind and a Shark. None of them worked very well in our opinion.
Three years ago I took the Eureka into a vacuum sales and repair shop and told him I wanted something a lot better and still small since it was for a motor home. He tested the suction and the airflow on the Eureka (said the airflow is more important than the suction) and came up with a Superfast 500 Vacuum made by Schneider Industries in California. It has 85 inches of water lift and 115 cubic feet of airflow. That was over twice what the Eureka had and over three times what the Shark had. It's pricey (list is $199) I paid about $130 for it - but it does a heck of a job. I also bought a vacuum powered carpet brush head that cost another $38 and unlike the one that came with the Shark, it is hard to slow down.
It's small: Weight = 4.5 pounds, Dimensions =7”x12.5”x4.5” but powerful and comes with the usual attachments plus attachments for cleaning computer keyboards and the like. Those work great on the motor home dash.
Vacuum shops carry them but I haven't seen them at the mass merchandisers like Target or Walmart.
The web site is HERE if you are interested.
I posted this a while back and two people bought one from the web site for less than a hundred dollars. I don't know if that was a special sale or not.

We have had several in house Vac's in our 5th wheel. The one we have now is a Dirt Devil and its does a fair job. The kick plate is the best part. They have improved the Dirt Devil the bag is larger. We quit full timing and build another stick house and we have a dog, Montana sheds (Beagle/Lab) and we decided on the Dyson DC17 its designed just for our problem. It does a awesome job and does everything it said it would do. So we have the Dyson DC 25 (the Ball) and it is perfect for our 5th wheel and Delaine really likes it and it moves around the corners with ease. GBY....

Sounds like you're in the market for an Oreck Vacuum.
