Default A decent budget friendly car vacuum?

I've tried looking all over, almost pulled the trigger on a 12 volt cigarette plug vacuum but thankfully I didnt because the reviews all said they dont have suction to even handle pebbles.

My budget is 200$ and less.

No cigarette plug vacuums. Thankfully i found a outdoor outlet i can plug into.

Go to Home Depot and buy a Shop Vac. You will have $125.00 left in your budget

I had a dust buster but it died. I now have a small hand held Bissell (electric), with a short hose and a couple of attachments and it works quite well. I think some of the Dirt Devils are good too. The prices are from about 40 to 60.

I have a small "quiet" version Shop-Vac that I bought over 15 years ago. She is still going strong!

I like the MetroVac Professional. Can be found at Bed Bath and Beyond. Get their 20% coupon and you can get it for around $75. Lots of suction, small and easy to use. Long cord makes cleaning both sides of the car easy.
