20 Best Vacuums For Cars (2022 Updated)

Absolutely recommended! I normally don’t bother writing reviews because I think sometimes you just have to try a product for yourself, but in this case I have to give kudos to the manufacturer. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with many vacuums over the years, but so far, it’s only love with this machine! I’ve never had a vacuum that actually cleans my car so well.

All the other reviewers are spot on about the suction power. It picks up EVERYTHING. The multiple attachment are an added bonus. I utilized all of them while cleaning my car, and was very impressed with it’s ability to clean in all of the hard to reach places under the seats.

I have not had this vacuum long, so I cannot attest to the long-term durability of it, but fingers crossed it continues performing as well as it has so far. If you need a vacuum that does what it actually is supposed to do, this is the one to purchase!.

My wife wanted a miniature shop vac and found this one online. She read reviews and did her research. She liked what she read and bought one. She absolutely loves it. It is her opinion that even if you don’t think you need one, you’re wrong.

It was originally bought to vacuum our large couches, she has used it on so many things I lost count. Since it’s so portable, it gets carried from room to room to suction dust various areas and vacuum behind areas that are hard to reach.

My wife states that it is the perfect size for so many cleaning projects that my full size shop vac is “too big and bulky to drag around. ” She’s 100% satisfied.

Since I owned several cars, I bought this Armor All 10L 2. 5US Gallon 2HP 1. 25 Inch Hose Wet Vacuum in June 2017 specifically to vacuum the car interior and the trunk space, This vacuum is easy to install, operate and clean, Light weight and Portable, Strong suction from this tiny Vacuum.

I am completely satisfied so far. Great Small Size and Light Weight Vacuum for Car Owners. Thank You. Albert from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

This is a rather nicely designed car vac. As is generally the case for these 12 volt vacuums the amount of suction is moderate. I had a mini 12 volt shop vac unit previously. It had comparable suction, but had very poor accessories and it was way to easy to tip over.

It was a wet dry which this is not. It also had more dirt capacity, I prefer this though. Very easy to empty so that helps compensate for lower capacity. Yay empty when the swirling stops. A few tips on using vacs with limited suction vacs.

The angle of the attachment to the surface is critical. You will need to detach the hose to get the right angle for the main attachment. If you dont it is just a brush. You will get more suction if the engine is running.

(Plus you dont have to worry about running down your battery). The manual says this will reduce life span. It is only about 10% higher voltage so I will take that risk. Overall I am pleased. I like the long cord and reasonably long hose.

It does flip on its side, just make sure it does flip on the side with air vents.

Product doesn’t have strong suction power. I thought that maybe because it’s a name brand product that it would exceed generic products that are cheaper in cost but unfortunately it isn’t. I regret to say that I don’t recommend this product.

Purchased this Vac about 1½ months ago and so far so good. This vac seems good for the quick clean ups like spilled snacks and loose dirt / hair. Overall pretty pleased. I don’t think it will be good for ground in dirt and road salt from winter but that is really not what this Vac is for.

Good for what I need it for and not expecting this to work miracles like some comments on here.

I am extremely impressed with this vacuum. The suction this thing has does not match its smaller size. It is rechargeable. After you’re finished using it, you set the main part of this in the base. The stick attachment hangs on a hook from the base and the other attachments have their own spot as well.

It is easier to empty out than what I am used to. The way the air circulates, it kind of gathers the debris and dust into a ball. This also comes with a mopping attachment. It’s just a clear plastic piece that attaches to the bottom and then you apply the wet pad to that.

The one thing I like most about this vacuum is for furniture, walls, and ceilings. It gets to the harder-to-reach spots and because of its lighter weight, it doesn’t tire my arms out while using it. I can’t talk to the battery of this though.

All I can say about it is that I have not run the battery down while using it yet. Since it sits in the base when I’m not using it, I’m not sure how long it takes to charge either.

Overall, I really like this hand held vacuum cleaner. I have been constantly using this product for a week now and I absolutely love it. I basically use this product to clean my sofa, table, kitchen and even carpet floor since my apartment is considered small.

I am very satisfied with this product and below is my honest review on this product. If u are looking to buy a small size vacuum cleaner, I definitely recommend this Eufy H30 vacuum cleaner. Pros: -Easily maneuverable -Powerful suction power.

Really great at getting everywhere and everything (except obvious big chunks and wet food even a broom would smear/that needs hand picking up. It has more suction power than any other handheld vacuum I have used before.

And I was surprised and happy to see a cup full of dog hair when I used the mini motorzied brush to clean my sofa. -Easy charge. It has a very convenient charging station with a small footprint. Just drop the vacuum into the slot in the charger and it will be ready for the next mess.

-Great customer support. I used to have eufy Robovac, and eufy’s customer support always answers my inquiries patiently and helps me replace it when I encounter product problems, so their attitude towards H30 is the same.

Cons: -I want to get one more battery so I can use it to clean the second floor. When I contacted eufy customer support, they told me that there is no rechargeable battery at the moment and I need to wait.

The box looks stylish and technological. I plan to buy it for my mother during Christmas. In conclusion. Buy this. Buy it for your spouse, your friend or yourself. It’s gold!.

I’ve had a few “no name” handheld vacuums. They all sort of “did the job”. like a co-worker who reluctantly shows up to work. This vacuum, in contrast, is like the super-motivated big boss who gets the job done well! The vacuum has a satisfying sound, multiple suction levels, two attachments, and a nice stand.

It’s easy to slide the vacuum in and out of this charging stand (you don’t need to step on the stand with your foot to keep it down, a minor annoyance with some other vacs). Best of all: it cleans up messes and it’s easy to clean itself.

The only little gripe I have (Eufy please fix this!) is that the attachment with the motorized spinning brush doesn’t sit nicely and on the stand and just sort of flops there. That sucks, just having it sit on the floor next to an otherwise nice product.

Speaking of this attachment, I LOVE it for the stairs!.

I’ve owned the PowerClean for about 1. 5 months. I bought predominately to clean the kitchen floor, basement steps and floor and cars. It instantly replaced 3 electric stick vacs and a 1. 5 gal shop vac.

I was tired of short cords, mediocre suction and constant clogged filters and/or full dust cups, especially when keeping up with the pets. Upon unboxing the PowerClean, I have to say I was a bit taken back by the size.

It’s much bigger than expected. However, after using it, one quickly forgets about the size. The suction is equal to my large 12 gal. shop vac, yet this vacuum has an attractive style, perfect for general use around the house.

The floor tool is so strong, one has to open the air flow regulator just to keep it from cementing itself to the floor. The hose length is great. It allows me to get the steps and landing to the back door/basement without having to lift it down from the kitchen.

In the car, you can reach everything from one side to the other without having to walk around the car. Inside, I have found myself using it in the corners, along the baseboards, inside the air returns and floor vents, in the dog cages, on the lampshades, inside the pantry and much more.

The wheels on this unit are great. It just coasts along both carpeted and hardwood floors with the slightest tug of the hose. The biggest issue I’m having is the fact that there is nowhere to go with the hose.

They have this great slot that holds the extension wands and two additional slots on the base for the hand tools. But, the hose is just left to dangle when not in use. Given the size of this vacuum, some sort of slots or clips could have easily been incorporated into the top half.

I’m using a shoe lace to keep it tied up to the handle when not in use. Its also disappointing that there is no upholstery nozzle. just no reason for it not to have one given this is a general purpose vacuum.

After checking several vacuum reviews I made the decision to purchase the Vac n Blo. I specifically use it to detail my cars and being a canister vacuum, as opposed to a upright, it is much more appropriate for the task.

The vacuum has outstanding performance with a 4 hp motor. It is very versatile due to the easy ability to switch from suction to blowing by changing the hose nozzle from one end to the other. The unit comes with a shoulder strap which is not practical when climbing in and out of cars.

However the manufacturer sells a dolly which attaches to the bottom of the vacuum allowing the user to place it on the ground and pull it around as they move around the vehicle. The carry handle can be used to lift the vacuum between locations also.

My unit came with a 3 foot hose which, in combination with the 2 extension tubes allow easy access to far corners. However, I find it easier to reach under seats and small crevices without the stiff tubes so I also purchased an additional 6 foot hose, available from the manufacturer which then provided me with 9 feet of hose.

Attach the crevice tool to the end and there is no place dirt can hide. Due to the intricate nature of car detailing I also picked up “micro tools” from an EBay supplier (cheaper than Metro World). These attach viaan adapter and allow the user to use these smaller attachments on the car dashboard, air vents, navigation displays, etc.

The filter bag is accessed by releasing the side clips and is easy to empty and clean. As an individual detailing vacuum it is practically impossible to beat. However if you are a professional detailer you may want something larger (such as a Rigid) as the waste bag capacity on the Vac n Blo is on the small side.

Overall I am very happy with this product and highly recommend it.

i purchased this vacuum several years ago and was blown away with how powerful it is. The blower will inflate anything in seconds. Much faster than the pumps that are frequently included with inflatables.

When my old vacuum broke, I checked other vacuums and did not find any that were as powerful and easy to use. The only thing I do not like is the length of the cord. The cord on this model is even shorter than my last one and you can barely do anything unless you use extension cord or the attachments.

I would much rather have longer cord than have to connect the longer hoses. The prices on all these machines are very high but the power you get is amazing. It is nice being able to use the shoulder strap and reach higher areas.

It just would be almost perfect if it had longer cord and prices were not so high. I decided to spend the money because I knew what I would be getting. Great little machine!.

After many years of using a shop vac to clean my vehicles, I finally decided to buy a Metro-Vac. This has been a great addition to my vehicle detailing tools. The size is great and the suction is amazing.

I purchased the turbo head to clean pet hair. So far i have been more than satisfied with the performance of this unit and it performs just as advertised.

This vacuum is much quieter (even before the muffler) than my old vacuum. Latches are simple and secure. Quickly and easily change filters. Dust is completely contained in the canister-no leakage. The 4 accessory holders on top of each foot keep tools handy.

The 20 foot electrical cord is a BIG plus as I no longer need an extension. The cord storage keeps the it neatly stored and allows having just the right length available. Latches on accessories are a plus.

Suction is sufficient, even when adding a cyclone separator between the vacuum and a tool. I am looking forward to trying the removable blower. The 60l canister seems smaller than my old one, perhaps just an illusion or perhaps the volume is measured differently (allowing for filter volume).

Woodworkers will appreciate this VERY well designed vacuum. It addressed all of the shortfalls of my previous vacuum.

Bought this a few years back for the purpose to help out during power washing kitchen floors for steak’n’shake. It made clean much easier. The little hose hook up pump made it even smoother. After year of that it has cleared out flooded floor drains, unclog toilets that snake just couldn’t get saving me from having to lift a toilet.

You could say “this shop vac will suck the **** out of anything”. With the use of a shop bag and the proper filter for the job it will suck up drywall dust to rags others leave behind without needing to dust off anything afterwards.

Throughout my years of using it it has the same suction now as it did on day one. That’s without having to take it apart one cleaning it’s guts out to maintain its suction. I only recommend this vac as others would of been tossed and replaced by now.

Wow, bought on sale and only by chance as the home owner version was sold out and this came up last a sale item. It replaced a very similar vacuum that needed parts and was well used and there’s no comparison on power.

The Ridgid professional model is so much better suction but it pushes the circuit it’s plugged into close to the tripping point so I have to endure everything else is turned off. The included accessories are a bonus that is had to pay extra for in the cheaper version and worth getting.

This is my 4th Ridgid vacuum and I’ve used them for everything you can imagine and still going strong! Worth every penny over other brands vs friends and family who bought other premium units that have quite.

Extremely satisfied customer.

I have never had a vacuum that works this well. It is very compact but also very powerful. It is so powerful that it will actually pull the carpet in an automobile away from the floor board. It picks up fine particles much better than any vacuum cleaner that I have ever used.

It also cuts down on the time and effort that it takes to vacuum a car. I am very pleased with this vacuum and will purchase another one if I ever need another vacuum.

I have owned a metro vac before and they are very strong for their size, and the shoulder strap gives you a lot of freedom of movement.

Works great! Strong enough to twist in your hand when you turn it on!!!!!!!!! I use it for cleaning smoke detectors with a ten foot extention and it gets the job done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This amazing portable vacuum is all I have been looking for. The quality is great. Very sturdy. It is light weight which make it easier to carry around. Simple to use. This vacuum cleaner is an exceptional tool to have in your car.

Sometimes I don’t have enough time to go to the car wash to vacuum my car so this portable vacuum is great to have handy as my car get messy with my kids. This vacuum is perfect for cleaning the mats as well as anything under them.

Also it does a great job cleaning my seats. They also come with a tool that is an extension to make those hard to get spots easier to clean. Emptying the vacuum is also very easy. All you have to do is press down on bottom and the top half comes off.

Then you take the lid off and shake out all the dust and trash. Great suction. Overall this vacuum does a sensational job cleaning your car and is very easy to use, I highly recommend it to anyone.

Just got my Auto Joe ATJ-V501 —- 12 volt Portable Car Vacuum Cleaner recently. The kit comes with everything, and is like a detail kit in a bag. First of all, it has a really long cable for getting anywhere in all types of vehicles.

Secondly, there are all sorts of attachments for getting into places to clean. The crevice tool is great, the carpet head is great, and the extension is great. There is even a tool to clean the HEPA filter.

By the way, there are 2 Hepa’s in the kit, — great. Nice powerful motor for pulling up the fine stuff. Good amount of storage in the trash reservoir before having to empty it. The unit comes with a storage bag for all the stuff/tools, and that is great because some other brands only give you a box.

I love the bag. I cleaned my car and it works fast, strong, and quietly.

I received the Auto Joe ATJ-V501 12 volt Portable Car Vacuum Cleaner through the TryIT Sampling Community and was looking forward to giving it a try. With two long haired dogs that love to go for rides, I am constantly lugging the big vacuum cleaner out to the garage for clean up.

Though convenient to use, this vac did not completely do the job of cleaning up the air. I have to say though, neither does the big vac. It is excellent picking up dirt, sand, and small stones so from that perspective Otis very handy and useful.

For the price, It is definitely a good investment. So if you are in the market for one of these portable vacs to use in the car, and you do not have long haired dogs to worry about, I would definitely recommend.

This thing is powerful and gets in tight places and picks up all kinds of stuff without having to sweep!! I can honestly say this is the best hand held vacuum I have ever used! It is so compact, sturdy and effective.

I used it on carpeted and non carpeted surfaces and it worked equally fabulous. it does a great job and has very good suction for a hand held battery powered device. -Sri Vidhya.

Black & Decker does it again. This vacuum is the best out on the market. Absolutely, picks up everything in sight. Suction is strong enough to pick up sand, dirt, small shrubs, and pebbles in the back of my car.

Don’t listen to the people who constantly complain about this vacuum. For its size & for what the vacuum does. It’s the best bang for your buck. I use it consistently for I’m am uber & lyft driver in the Hawaii.

So there’s always riders coming into my car with sand.

I is a decent unit with a dust collection system which does not clog quickly. It has the hose attachment which is VERY useful. However, being an owner of the powerful 120v corded unit, I was somewhat disappointed by the lesser vacuum power.

(NOTE: you will get more power if you use with car running (~14. 5v) than with car off (~12. 5v).

I use this product to remove the pet hairs from the couches and from the beds. It works really good . It is cheap in price and economical. #recommend

Best hand-held battery-operated I’ve ever had. It is very handy to use and the best part is that it has good sucking power and a long battery life between charges. Bought my first unit over a year ago and liked it so well that I purchased a second unit for a family member.

It charged quickly and it has good suction. Easy assembly. Turn and click to take off cup for dumping. I love it!

I no longer have to haul my big shop vac to the car; this little unit is powerful enough to get the job done. Quick. I hope I can get a few back-up filters.

I have a few other handheld vacs that are used for quick cleanups around the kitchen. Mostly crumbs in highchairs and stuff, but they aren’t strong enough for much more than that. Not only does this vac do those jobs with ease, but it is more powerful and the battery life is much better.

It does this without adding more bulk, and I was actually surprised by how much more compact it was than my other vacs. After proving itself inside, I thought I’d take things up a notch and visit crumb/dust-ville.

The car. It was strong enough to pull dirt out of the cracks and crevices, and also loose dirt from the floormats. The smaller brush-head may not have been intended for this, but it works quite well.

The ability to put an attachment on the other side of the vac and utilize the exhaust air was just icing on the cake. Just as strong as it is at sucking up dirt, it is equally strong out the other side at blowing dust out of hard to reach places in the dash, head-unit, heating/cooling controls, dials.

Good stuff!.

This product is surprisingly powerful and I love the attachments and how versatile it is. It feels sturdy. I was a little confused at first about the vacuum vs blower functions and the filter/dirty catcher but I quickly figured it out.

The dirt catcher space (what is this even called?) is small, but that is to be expected with the overall size of this product. I was surprised by the size of items it can pick up. The opening is quite large and the storage space is a matter of inches from the opening so there is no place for things to get stuck or tangled.

If it can fit through the opening, it will stuck it up. Cereal, paperclips, everything! I will be reaching for this more than I expected! I actually want a few more. Hoping to use it for a few months to assess longevity but if it holds up I will be coming back for more for my car, litter box area, office, and beyond.

One in every room!.

I am so impressed with this vacuum that I bought a second one within weeks. I love the sleek look and design. Without the attachment, no one would ever guess it’s a vacuum. I also like the added blower feature, although I’ve only used that a couple times, and not with the designated attachment.

It’s nice to have an indicator when it is fully charged. And it DOES pick up hair and other debris from carpets. The only thing I would ask for would be the ability to purchase extra filters. That way, I could just switch to a clean one while I’m using it and not have to stop to clean it.

I haven’t tried to wash it yet, but hopefully that feature will work as advertised like everything else. It’s so cute, I just wanna buy one for everyone I know!!!!!! P. S. I hardly EVER take the time to write reviews.

I think this only my second one in all the years I’ve used internet.

The movie is called Turner and Hooch. He is driving down the road in his car, and the passenger is eating a donut or something, and spilling crumbs. Tom pulls the portable vacuum out from under the seat to tidy up right away.

Great movie, okay onto the vac. This plugs into the cigarette lighter with a 16. 4-foot cord. It also has a light on the top for illumination so you don’t miss anything. The black canvas carrying bag is built sturdy enough.

It’s a miracle getting everything back in there including the extension hose, but once you get the hang of it, it’s no big deal. At first, I thought the crevice tool was a little short for getting down the sides of the seats.

Then when I attached the flexible extension hose to the mouth of the vac, and then attached the crevice tool to it, making it an all-in-one extension, I realized it has all told a better reach then the long rigid extension models.

We want to keep in mind that it is a small portable vac and has sufficient power to do the whole job, but for me a roll around shop vac in the garage is meant to really get the heavy-duty dirt cleaned up.

Of course, having both is the ultimate. There isn’t anything about this I don’t like.

Edited after a second and third use… I really tried to like this. Has great suction against your hand but not good for much more than a light vacuum. Any heavier dirt or anything in the grooves in a rubber floor mat won’t come up.

The hose attachment is awkward to use because it needs support or it comes out of the vacuum itself and is only about a foot long. So you’re holding one end into the vacuum with one hand, and the other end about 12” away in your other hand.

It’s awkward. You can’t set the vacuum down and use the hose, you have to hold both or it disconnects. The plus is that it has a long cord so you can reach the front and backseat without unplugging. It’s ok but won’t replace a full vacuum with regular attachments.

None of the attachments are worth using and by itself, it does nothing. Waste of money. Final edit: This company is wonderful. After my review of the product where I expressed my concerns, the seller reached out.

I edited that review later on, still unhappy with it, and seller reached out again. They truly want input on the product to improve. Issued a full refund, completely unprompted, after two months! Great company!.

The product works as instructed, very easy to use with multiple tips to make it easier to clean in tight corners or spaces. The led light also helped me so much when it was dark. It also helps that I have multiple filters to use because I ran through one pretty quickly, it’s very easy to dispose of trash and cleaning it was a breeze.

The bag it comes inside in is perfect and very easy to store in my trunk, it doesn’t take up a lot of space. I haven’t ran into any problems yet using the product, I only used it a couple times and it’s held on so far.

The only issues I do have for the future are buying new filters once these start falling apart, but I was glad to hear it came with 3 because I’ve noticed with sellers they only provide 2 paper filters and non washable.

When I was brushing one of my filters I tore some of the fibers with the brush. So it would be nice to sell maybe a set of 3 filters on side in the future. In conclusion, the product works well for what it’s priced at, comes with many accessories and its own bag.

I would definitely recommend the product to anyone looking for a car vacuum. This little guy definitely does the job, very handy, strong, and the cord is definitely long enough for the toughest jobs at any corner of my car! I love it.

Handy, attractive, well-made, ergonomically designed, this little hand vac is exactly what I was looking for. It holds a charge nicely and charges reasonably quickly. The lighted crevice tool is useful and the little power brush works well on flat surfaces.

A carrying case or lightweight cloth bag to store attachments in would be a useful addition. And a more detailed owners guide showing how each attachment is supposed to work, like, what the heck is the other crevice tool, the one with the little bumps and holes along its length, for? TWO crevice tools, one of which doesn’t suck.

what’s that about? Otherwise a great buy; I recommend it.

I wish I would have returned this before I had a chance to use it. I tried to use it to clean out my car and it did a very poor job. The battery went dead before I could even get it completed and I was only working on a little tiny Ford Focus.

It doesn’t pick up anything very well unless you have the vacuum cleaner head on. The suction on this thing needs to be about twice as powerful for to be of any real use. I will probably end up giving it to Goodwill if not just tossing it out all together.

Puts all the other vacuums I’ve used to shame. The multiple hoses allows me to select the hose length that works best. Flexible hose and versatile attachments are easy to maneuver inside the car. It’s heavy, but that keeps it from toppling over when pulling around the garage.

When done, just hang it on the wall bracket. Much quieter than my ShopVac, too.

As a vacuum, it was good, but not great. The small accessories are nice for getting into small places in your car. As a blower to dry the car, it was terrible. It had very weak airflow and a small cone.

I think it would have taken me over an hour to dry the car at the rate I was going. I finished drying the car with my leaf blower and packed up the Vac’N Blo for a refund. The best part of the process was BB&B’s easy return policy and free return shipping.

I received my refund promptly.

When they say this vacuum is powerful, they mean it. This purpose built machine does the business, it can suck up anything. The tool accessories make auto detailing easy, and like the pros. I have even used it to dry off my car.

As a blower, it is just as powerful and I can see why all of the professional detailers on You Tube use it. This thing is built like a tank and well worth the money.

After 7 months this vacuum would start stop start stop. It would appear it REALLY is intended for quick emergency spills that can be cleaned up in a minute or two. Anything longer than that over time will cause a breakdown.

I have sent it back to the US dealership handling this companies products for a remedy under the one year warranty. The entity selling this item has not to date responded to my inquiry about what now.

I suppose their silence means you are on your Own! AKA Caveat Emptor!.

I have always wanted a car vacuum. This works amazing I highly recommend.

Gift for my Goddaughter she loved it

We bought this vacuum cleaner yesterday because the interior of our carn needs to be cleaned and a vacuum is what we needed. We charged the vacuum cleaner and took it outside to use and it really works well.

Works even better with the crevice tool attached. We brushed out the interior of the car and the floor mats, then used the vacuum to clean all the debris that had accumulated. We even used it to clean leaves and small twigs from the engine area.

Our car now looks the way we want, and we will be using this baby every week. The only issue is that you charge it in the house for 2 hours to get 15 minutes of continuous use – although it did vacuum for longer than 15 minutes.

What would have been even better, and we would have given the device 5 stars if it could be charged in the car using the cigarette lighter, to avoid having to bring it back home to recharge it. But it really works well, removing the dust/dirt from the cleaner was easy as was removing the filter to ensure all dirt was emptied.

I hope we can find replacements for the filter when we need to. It’s a nice accessory to have when you want to keep the inside of your car and trunk clean.
