Top 5 Best RV Vacuum
OUR TOP PICK
It should be no surprise that our top choice comes from the infamous Vacuum manufacturer, Dyson.
Believe it or not, this extremely compact stick vacuum utilizes 14 concentric cyclones to give you the most powerful suction possible.
It has three levels of suction so you can customize the power to suit the application. It’s even been scientifically proven that these vacuums are strong enough to physically dislodge bacteria particles from surfaces.
Keep in mind, though, that running on full power will drain the battery in about 5 to 10 minutes.
The cordless design makes it extremely portable and easily maneuvered in a small space, which means you’ll practically be dancing around the RV with this thing.
Cords can be exceedingly dangerous in a cramped environment so this is the perfect kind of vacuum to take with you on your travels. It maxes out at about 72dBA as well.
The average household vacuum runs at about 75dBA, so this Dyson on a low to medium setting is going to be very quiet indeed.
As if it wasn’t small enough, it can easily be transformed into a hand-held device either for storage or to get to some of those particularly hard to reach spots.
To make matters even more ergonomic, it comes with an easily installable wall mount, so it can be tucked well out the way, flush to the wall.
It also comes with a combination tool for added versatility, and if you want even more fantastic attachments, the Dyson Accessories bundle is very affordable.
The V10 has an impressive maximum 60-minute running time, which is plenty for a quick clean every other day to keep on top of things. You’d only need to charge it once a week.
It takes around 3 hours to build up a decent charge, but it has to be charged a minimum of 3 ¼ hours before the first usage.
This Dyson is especially pricey, but it’s a top of the range model from an industry leader who’s been bringing the power of cyclones to customer’s fingertips for decades.
