Hey all, Im looking to spend up to $225 for a handheld Vac. Any suggestions? What are you using? Is it any good?

    I used the Shark Rocket the other day in my cabin and I couldn't believe how well it worked. http://www.amazon.com/Shark-Rocket-Ultralight-Upright-HV302/dp/B00EUKHACW

    Dyson DC62 It's also an upright and cordless. A little over your price range though. We use it at home as our main vacuum as we'll during the winter.

    We use a shark bagless cyclonic. Does great. Only problem is that it overheats on heavy use and you have to let it cool down so that you can use it again. But usually not a problem

    Eureka handheld. Love it.  Very powerful.  Hand wand very useful. $37 at Walmart.

    Craftsman 2.5 gallon 1.75hp, paid like $30 for it.

    Works really well for its size, and its mostly for dog fur. Had to get a longer hose, but otherwise works well. It is 110V only, so you'll need an inverter or shore power.

    I like the little 110 v shop vac 1 gal. Great for drying the carpet after a rain. Never found a cordless worth a dine.

    I picked up a small (2.5 gallon) shop vac to keep in the cockpit storage for things like bugs.  Otherwise the central vac seems to work fine.

    I have a central vac at home, but still mostly use the dirt devil. When people come over, I would rather grab the dirt devil and quickly go over the house. I'm done in like 10 minutes. So easy to use. The vacuum is for the cleaners.
