Hello colleagues,

I'm wondering if any of you use a lightweight cordless HEPA vacuum around your collections. Our art handlers are interested in using one for crevices and hard, non-collection surfaces. We were looking at a Dyson brand model, but the battery life appears to be incredibly short, based on reviews. 

If you are using something like this, I'm curious about pros and cons of models.

With thanks,

Hi Nancie - Take a look at the Festool 'dust extractors':

Cordless mobile dust extractor CLEANTEC CTC MIDI I HEPA-Basic

I have been using a corded Festool dust extractor as my go-to vacuum cleaner for decades and am very pleased with its service.

Meg, have you ever used the Festool with a rheostat for vacuuming art objects? My department is considering buying these instead of Nilfisks going forward and I would love input about their suitability for use with textiles, if you have any!
