In our 4588 we decided not to replace the sunken stock vacuum cleaner, and I have been using my shop vac until I select a unit to have on board. We have shopped around and so much of what is available seems kind of JUNKY! Any thoughts on a good lightweight vacuum? We think we want some kind of powerhead even a small one. Trying to stay away from home hardware junk too.
I have the portable dirt devil on the boat, I love it cause its got a telescoping handle. feels like a fullsize, yet small enough for a boat.. I keep it in the boys stateroom closet.. its got good sucking power to get the dirt out of the carpets and light enough for me to handle on the steps, its small enough to get under the salon table and in tight corners. you just dump the dirt bin out.. no bags.. YAAAAAA
Without a power head our original central vac wasn't a match for the hair from our yellow lab, so we removed it and bought a canister type vacuum cleaner. We wanted something with really strong suction plus a powered upholstery attachment with a long hose so we could use it on the steps, tight places such as the office (which is too narrow for a standard upright), and in the companion way which is hard to clean due to the slight curve. The handle on our model collapses so it fits nicely in the storage space under the desk.
that is the newer model to what i use.... we got ours for the RV 10 years ago and and about 5-6 years ago we got a newer one(wanted something a little bigger on the RV) and put this on the boat.....
it has worked great for me and the now 5 year old (he uses it no problem).... we used it on our 28 foot and our 4550(only for about 9 months)
I got the smaller size Dyson right after we bought the 38, it works great & is easy to store. The Admiral has one at home so I looked at them at Target & liked it but didn't want to spend the $$$. Checked eBay & bought a new one for $215.00. We had a Ultima on the 32 it worked great also but shot craps after we bought the 38 and would have bought one again but after using the Dyson at home I really liked how well it cleaned carpet. I vacuum every day or 2 on the boat so it gets a workout.

we have 2 of these.. I stuck one on the boat and I love it.. the handle telescopes down and stores nicely in the second berth closet.. no messy bags either.. ours are blue...
+1 for the Eureka Optima line. Our friends had it and we borrowed it on day. It did such and amazing job we bought one the next day. It is pretty lightweight and does a great job of picking up everything. As others have said, the telescoping handle makes it compact down for easy storage.
Thanks to all that took the time to share your experiences. I had Not looked at these particular units, and will in the next week or two. Once again this site rocks!
