We found this vacuum to be very useful when we are using our travel trailer or when we are off the grid. It’s not likely that we would bring a home vacuum with us in our trailer because it is only 18 feet long, so we purchased this vacuum. It works very well for cleaning up the dirt that we inevitably track into the trailer. We also used it once to clean up a spill on the floor. When we are tent or truck camping, we also bring it along because it can be used with out the cord by inserting a De Walt 20-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery. These batteries last a long time and, since we clean the inside of our tent maybe twice a day, they can last for a week-long trip. If you shop around you can get one for under $100. The batteries, I have to admit, are a bit expensive but they are worth the cost.
