I have a 320 and want to get a rechargeable vacuum for it. Want one fairly small, rechargeable, and will work on both the floor and cushions. What is everyone using?

My wife did her research and found this https://levoit.com/products/lvac-200-cordless-vacuum for trips in our 400. It can be broken down into shorter lengths for versatility and comes with a crevice tool and 2 in 1 pet tool brush.The power nozzle itself does a good job of doing the floor and has no problem picking up copious dog hair.Susan & Bill, Yarmouth, Maine

I’m using a RIDGID 3 gallon 18v cordless. I chose it because it’s light weight and wet/dry, so suitable for any issue. It’s also strong enough to store my blankets and pillows in a vacuum bag to save space. It uses the same battery for my cordless drill/driver that I use on the stabilizer struts. I had a little 12v auto vacuum but it sucked because it didn’t suck! Lol, it also broke easily.
edit to add: another thing I like about the rigid portable vacuum is the hose can be reversed and turns it into a blower, that comes in handy often!2023 T@B 320s Boondock, 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 2016 Toyota Tundra 1794 4x4

I use a Bissell portable vacuum in my T@b400. https://www.target.com/p/bissell-pet-hair-eraser-lithium-ion-hand-vacuum/-/A-53425852. Does a respectable job of keeping things tidy , especially with my corgi on board.--Marlee

This might not be the size you had in mind, but we use this little car vacuum cleaner that has USB charging. We will usually sweep first and then use it to get the fine dirt that remains. A great side benefit is using it to suck up any mosquitos, flies or other bug that make there way into our T@B.

This is the newer version of the vacuum we ended up with ~12 years ago and itis still going strong. We gave up on 12 volt or cordless as they just didn't perform to our expectations.
This is very compact (about the size of a soda bottle) and very powerful with a easy to empty or replace filter.

I was able to find a Hitachi (Now Metabo) vacuum that uses the same 18v batteries as the hand tools that I have. Work great. Very good suction.

We use a Makita vacuum (which is quite similar to @elbolillo's) since my other tools are theirs.
If you have cordless power tools, check out whatever 'stick' vac option that brand has.Charles & Judy, Santa Cruz, CA

We use a Ryobi hand held. Very convenient that same rechargeable battery is used on the inflation tool and the drill motor.
