Wonder if anyone has a recommendation on a battery operated car vacuum that has a beater bar or something that can pick up dog hair on the floor mats etc.

Not sure how much you are willing to spend, but I've been using my Dyson handheld (Dyson Vacuum Cleaners Range – Free Shipping | Dyson.com
) for some time now with great results (plus they are on sale right now from Dyson...didn't check Amazon). We use this on our hardwood floors, too, but I just use the short head attachment to clean the car (the one with the extendable brush). I'm pretty sure they have an attachment for animal fur, too...

I also have that Dyson handheld. Got it refurbished. Pricey but a good vacuum. Battery life isn't great about 15 minutes, but more than enough for even a room or two. And it fills up with stuff super fast. So make sure you have a trashcan nearby.
I would recommend it, only if you are ok with paying $200+ for a vacuum that only works for 15 minutes at a time.
It is about ideal for vehicle cleanout. I do a quick once over, take out the floor mats and get them pretty good. Then wash the car, windows, whatever non-vacuum stuff I want to do while I get a charge. Then go back and get all the crevices and anywhere I missed. If you don't let your car get extra gross, or have stubborn dog hair, 2 charges seems to be fine.

Yup Dyson another disruptive technology. Dyson is similar to Elon in that regard. Imagine what would have happened if the other manufacturers had agreed to license his system.

"Partly supported by his wife's salary as an art teacher, and after five years and many prototypes, Dyson launched the "G-Force" cleaner in 1983. However, no manufacturer or distributor would handle his product in the UK, as it would disturb the valuable market for replacement dust bags,"
I have the Dyson as well. Can't find anything else any good. I bought a second one a few weeks ago to keep at the office and you can find them factory refurbished for about $50-70 under list. They are still expensive.
After extensive research I ordered the Black & Decker Platinum BDH2000L 20-Volt Max Lithium Ion Cordless Hand Vacuum

I bought one of these to leave in the garage for car duty. $47. It's decent. The rotating brush attachment works the carpet well. Only gripe is the pullout crevice tool doesn't lock into place, so it's too easy push it back in when vacuuming crevices.

Hi Andrew, I just installed one two days ago, works great, very quiet for it's size and lots of power, also bagless the bottom part just clips off to dump, 30 foot hose, very happy with it. Robert

In case you're still thinking about a Dyson, Woot has a cordless handheld Dyson DC35 (Refurb) today for $180... http://www.woot.com/offers/dyson-dc35-handheld-vacuum-red-4
Not surprised to see so many Dyson recommendations here. I consider Dyson to be the Tesla of vacuums (or Tesla the Dyson of cars) because both of them cost more than you would consider realistic for other products in their class, but are also so much better and more fun to use due to superior technology and innovation that they are more than worth it.
I bought an 18 V Black and Decker and it us terrible. Cant even suck sand out of the carpet. I'm getting a Dyson!
You might want to look at the Hoover Linx 50030 cordless, I have had this for 2 months and it works great, I wanted the rotating brush attachment and it also comes with other attachments. It sucks up dog hair on the carpet and is small enough to get around in tight spaces. I can used it at least 5 times for the whole car before recharging which takes 2 hours.
I have the same vacuum. Works ok for picking up crumbs, dust, etc, but I wouldn't say it can suck up big stuff
I agree this - same observation. theres no way you can pack enough sucking power in that small of a device. Nothing replaced an industrial wet/dry vac
For me Black & Decker is the perfect hand vac. Before get it I been through many reviews. New lasting power, this model with the lithium batteries last way longer than I ever need it to... I have done 3 to 4 complete cars and my kitchen floor touch ups with out any loss of power. This has a strong suction and the brush/extension being built in make a huge difference because I don't have to worry about misplacing them. It's attractive looking in this color, and the lithium battery is a big plus. I'm glad I don't have to worry about the battery being worn down. I have animals, so I just plugged this in on my kitchen counter as its new home. Using this once or twice a day should help me out a lot. It's especially perfect on the stairs and in the corners!
