What car vacuum cleaner works the best?
I need a lightweight, handheld and portable vacuum cleaner for my car, to be able to quickly vacuum it, for example if I go for a ride or to a car show etc. I have a dog, so I need it to be able to pick up dog hair. Also it is good if I can plug it into a cigarette lighter
Two sites that I have looked at are www.consumerreports.org/cro/vacuum-cleaners.htm and www.vacuumtop.com. They both say that Black & Decker BDH2000PL, Eureka EasyClean and Bissell Cleanview are great. Anyone tried one of these and have any opinions? Any other recommendations and tips on where to buy are appreciated.

imho
Best = Metro Vac n Blo
But it doesn't plug into lighter, needs 110 outlet

I actually had the predecessor to that Black & Decker, the 12V model. New, it worked great. After two years the battery was significantly reduced along with sucking power. I would imagine the newer Li-Ion battery model will have better longevity. For anything less than $60 I would give it a try.

For a non portable unit, you cannot beat the Sears shop vac, the large one, been using them for over 30 years, used them in my detailing business and have had one in my garage all the time; powerful, efficient and run forever. They can usually be bought for under or right at $100.

I tested it out (the Hurricane vacuum) <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->https://wheelstips.com/best-car-vacuum-cleaner over the weekend and was impressed by it. The suction power is very decent by 12v standards, and I did manage to suck up all dust and beach sand grains from my carpet mats. You get four attachments with it (more than you'll ever need), the flat carpet brush, the thin nozzle extension for tight cracks, a brush with 1/2 inch long thick bristles (this is the one I used) and an extension hose - which I didn't use.
I could clean the mats and the roof with ease and, also suck the bits out of cubby holes and boot space. I kept the car idling all the time I was using the vacuum. The wire is long enough to reach all corners and boot of my Swift hatchback. I used it continuously for up to 15 mins and it didn't heat up.
The dust collecting mechanism is too good. It contains a HEPA filter and there is a flap that prevents the dust from coming out when you are using the vacuum. The dust collector is transparent so you can see how much is accumulated. You basically remove the front end transparent cover and empty the collected dust. The HEPA filter could be cleaned by gently tapping in on the wall or use pressurized air if you have access to it. The filter is similar to the paper fiber like filter used for car AC blower.
On YouTube there are a lot of interesting videos on this topic, I will share with you, one of them, hope this will help someone. Good luck

I don't know of any battery operated vacuums. is there any website? ... but here is another option that plugs into the lighter port in most cars. It works well enough for light and normal vacuuming needs.

I use a Milwaukee battery powered unit, they work well and they have a few different units. I use the https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Produc...acuums/0850-20 been a good little unit for years.
