The Halfords cleaner has some nifty features: there are lights to indicate battery life; it has two suction settings, so you can use the lower one for lighter jobs and get more time out of your battery; and there’s a 12-volt cord to plug into your ’van’s battery when the cleaner’s battery has run out.Its performance, however, was disappointing. The low speed setting wasn’t very effective, so we used it on full power for all the tasks – and it still took longer to achieve the same result as other cleaners at this price.
