Best handheld vacuum for a pool table?

Blue Fin Billiards uses a couple of Black & Decker 2 in 1 rechargeable vacuums.
You can do the entire table fast using both units & the small removable unit works
as good as any Dirt Devil or Shop Vac that's been tried.

Rainbow are the best, plain and simple... Also the least economical.
I know this is an old thread, but I was curious regarding it the dirt devil. The Dirt Devil has a rotating brush inside. I was advised not to use a vacuum that has a brush. Do those of you who use the Dirt Devil feel that the brush is a problem? Or do you simply use it with the brush. Or if you have a link to the model that you used that would be great. Thank you

The Simonis X-1 and then a damp towel and my table stays clean.
I used a damp towel and that's what started the mess I have on my table. Streaks and what looks like water stains that I cannot get rid of. I'm going to have to have it completely cleaned by the installer.

Hmm? I use a handheld vac with horse hair attachment (made by Oreck), then once I have the majority of the chalk removed I use a damp microfiber cloth and wipe it down. A damp clean cloth shouldn't hurt the cloth. It has done nothing but good on my table and I've read many others doing the same without any harm. Are you sure the cloth was clean and was damp with just water?
and a note about the chance of a vacuum lifting up slate seam materials. If a vacuum lifts it up, it's already loose and needs to be addressed anyway, so don't think I would worry about a vacuum messing up the slate seams.

I use a Craftsman 5 gallon Shop Vac. Works great.
I'd like to learn more about that Woolight (Woolite?) solution.
A 2.5 gallon, 2.5 horsepower shop vac is small enough to hold in one hand while using the other hand to hold the extension and vacuum the table cloth, with a 6-inch brush attachment on the end. This will provide far more suction power and do a far better job than any hand held mini vac possibly can do.
Yup. My shop Vac sits on the ground and the hose is long enough to reach across the table. I use a horsehair brush and a thin attachment for under the rails. Every so often, I'll wring out a wet, small bath towel and "brush" the cloth all towards the footrail just to make it look pretty.
I use this Armor All 2hp shop vac. It works very good.
That unit has a nice "wide mouth" attachment, I'd bet it Gits R Dun...
I bought it for my table. A good investment. It works great and takes only a few minutes to complete the task
