It's well made and does its job. There are a few flows, however - the red extension doesn't lock when you take it out which makes it useless because you need to put some pressure when cleaning.The other extension - the hose with the brush fitting is also useless as the vacuum cleaner doesn't have enough suction power. That being said it still does a decent job cleaning the car. Vor a 12V portable vacuum it's not bad at all. I doubt there are much better ones out there than this. One other thing that I don't like is that the garbage container opens way too easy - sometimes even while cleaning! Overall I'm happy with the purchase. For 40 bucks it's worth its money. Read more

Muy buen producto; tal cual como se describe; funciona muy bien; el cable es súper largo para llegar a todos los rincones del coche y a en general funciona para darle una rápida aspirada al coche cuando no da tiempo de irlo a lavar Read more

I got this for a small off-grid cabin that runs on 12VDC. Since the cabin has its own battery and can have pretty extreme climate conditions, I didn't want the added expense and inevitable failure of a built-in battery. The overall design of this is very good - it's super compact, easily adjustable, decent cord length, decent accessories, the built-in brush is handy, it's light-weight, and I appreciate the washable filter. It does, however, also have a replaceable filter. These aren't too expensive but it is a little annoying to need one. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the alternative would be that such a low-power motor could work with, so, I wouldn't dock a star for that. In my usage, it consumed somewhere around 50W. This is honestly a little disappointing because many 12V outlets can handle double that. At this power, the suction was good enough to do what I needed but *barely*. As others pointed out, the charge state of your battery does make a noticeable impact. I understand B&D were trying to design this to not blow fuses, but it would've been nice to have 5A, 7.5A, and 10A speed settings. Perhaps a higher amperage motor can be swapped out, though for now, I'll keep it since it does work as advertised. Read more

This is my third Car Vac, and I have to say, I think we got a winner! It has everything I wanted, and needed in an automotive vacuum cleaner, and more. Other than to initially test its usage, I've never really had to use the hose adjustment. I find that I can accomplish all my vacuuming needs solely via the pivoting nose, which extends and retracts, and also folds all the way in for compact storage. It also has a handy brush you can flip on. The power cord is also long enough for me to reach everywhere in my sedan, including the trunk and frunk and the sucking power of the Vac has been plenty sufficient for my needs. Another must-have feature for me was a washable filter - i didn't want to have to deal with replacing filter bags often - and this Vac delivers on that front. I've just had it for a month though - will update on how it holds up over time later. Fyi - In case anyone is wondering - it does not have an internal battery (you cannot charge it and use it unplugged from a power source). It needs to be constantly powered by the cigarette lighter in the car. In the event that you might need to use it in a house or somewhere with only a 110v outlet - grab an Ac to DC Adapter. Keep in mind though, that while it's plenty sufficient for Automotive cleaning, it's really not a powerful enough vacuum for heavy duty vacuuming inside the house. As stated in the title, my only qualm was the mesh bag that was provided with this unit - it was all but useless to me. I prefer more solid storage bags for my small appliances, so I ordered a trunk organizer that actually fits perfectly for the Vacuum, along with its attachments (see pictures attached). Read more

So far, so good! A friend of mine got this vaccum a while ago for her car and I borrowed it from her for a few days, I loved it then so I decided to get my own because it has good suction power, it comes with little tools like brushes and a hose to get into deeper places; it’s super easy to clean just a snap to open the suction cup and a snap back to close it. The cord that connects to the car is long enough to reach all the way to the back of the car. This vacuum is super easy to use. And you can fold it for storage inside it’s own storage bag! How cool is that?! I love it. Super recommended specially if you have kids and need good suction when removing cracker crumbs and all sorts of ‘food debris’ and beach sand from the back seat and carpets xP Read more
