Title: Good but cheap hand vac - any ideas?
Post by: Mark on June 08, 2008, 11:17:55 AM
I find with the ultra-clumping, a lot goes on the floor in front of the tray. I am loathe to use my posh new vac on it so contantly on my hands and knees sweeping up (I have a 50p Wilksinsons dutpan and brush for each tray  :evillaugh: ) I just want one of those plastic ones that is strong enough to suck up litter - any ideas - as long as it does the job, the cheaper the better.

Can't really repeat what I said when I saw this post Mark..........  I bet you can guess!!  When is Leigh gonna put his twopeneth in!!   :evillaugh: :naughty: :Luv2:

Why don't you get one of those dustpan and brush sets that have long handles?  I got one from a hardware shop years ago for my mum as she has osteo arthritis all over her body and then I decided to get myself one after seeing how good it was.  Only about £3.

The suction ones are probably a lot easier for litter - we have floorboards in the kitchen and there are gaps - Willow gets it everywhere  :evillaugh:

She will probably end up with her own house in the garden the way she is going.

This one will probably do the job and only £10 as it's 1/2 price  ;D - also it's rechargeable  :)

Your idea is god as well Mary - they are quite handy. I hand a cheapo one before but they sell nicer ones in Sainsbury's. The only thing is it reminds me of being a Busboy in Heaven nighclub about 25 years ago. We had to go round sweeping with those all the time - still it wasn't as bad as cleaning up sick off the dancefloor  :sick:
