What hand held hoovers do people recommend for cage cleaning? Please post links if possible :)

I don’t want a rubbish one
 
I gave up with ours.... it kept sucking fleece up, ended up going back to hands
 
I love my Vax:
Vax Blade 32V Cordless Vacuum Cleaner | VAX Official Website

I use the handheld vacuum with the brush, and it's great at removing hair from the fleece. It doesn't suck in the fleece unless I use the turbo mode. In my experience, handheld vacuums without a brush attached are more prone to sucking in the fleece, since a lot of their sucking power is concentrated in a relatively small nozzle (is nozzle the right noun? Sorry, hope this makes sense)

Turbo mode sounds cool :)) Everything sound have such a mode
 
I have a 20 quid one. Bissel I think. It is noisey but sucks up all the poos! Hay has to be pulled out or it just blocks it. Ever so useful.
 
I tend to use my hands to get the majority of the poops up from the fleece, before I take it outside to shake it. After that, I just use the brush attachment on my Dyson to get any strays up that fall off the fleece onto the cage bottom.
 
Gave up trying with the vacuum as my piggies hated the noise of it!
Went back to a dustpan and brush!
 
I've got a Vax Gaitor. I gave up with it as I had to empty it 2 or 3 times on each cage (2 cages), it was quicker by hand!
 
I’ve got a handheld one I got from a carboot for a £1! Does the job fine. I wanted to upgrade but think I will stick with it!
