We liked the variety of attachments. The brush tool worked well on upholstery, while the crevice tool got into tight spaces. The extension tube helped us reach under seats. The LED light came in handy for seeing in dark corners.

Battery life was good at about 26 minutes on a full charge. That gave us enough time to thoroughly clean a midsize sedan. The vacuum was a bit heavy to hold for long periods, but not uncomfortably so. Cleaning it out was simple – we just clicked open the dust bin and emptied it.

We were impressed by how light and compact this DRECELL vacuum is. At just 1.2 pounds, it’s easy to maneuver in tight spaces like between car seats. The ergonomic handle felt comfortable to grip.

The suction power surprised us for such a small unit. On max mode, it easily picked up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair from our car’s floor mats and seats. The LED light helped us spot debris in dark corners.

We like the versatile 2-in-1 attachment. The crevice tool worked well for cleaning narrow gaps, while the brush was great for dusting vents and dashboards. The washable HEPA filter trapped fine particles effectively.

Battery life is decent but not amazing. We got about 25 minutes of cleaning on the lower power setting. For quick touch-ups this is fine, but it may not be enough for deep cleans of larger vehicles.

The vacuum runs quietly, which we appreciate. Emptying the small dust bin was easy and mess-free. Overall, we think this DRECELL vac is a handy tool to keep in your car for quick cleanups.

We like the variety of attachments included. The crevice tool helped us clean between seats, while the pet brush was great for removing fur from upholstery. The blower function came in handy for clearing leaves from the driveway too.

Battery life is decent on the eco mode, lasting about 40 minutes. But it drops to 13 minutes on max power. We noticed the suction weakened as the battery drained, so frequent charging is needed for big jobs. The one-touch empty feature is neat, but the small dust cup fills up fast.

The BLACK+DECKER AdvancedClean packs a punch in a small package. We found its 16V lithium-ion battery provided enough power to tackle everyday messes with ease. The rotating slim nozzle was a standout feature, letting us get into awkward spots.

We liked how the pull-out crevice tool and flip-up brush added versatility. These attachments made it simple to clean between couch cushions and dust surfaces. The cyclonic action kept the suction strong, even as the dirt bowl filled up.

Emptying the vacuum was a breeze thanks to the see-through, bagless design. We appreciated being able to wash both the dirt bowl and filter. This helped keep the vacuum working well over time.

We did find a few drawbacks. The corded design means you can’t use it away from your car’s power outlet. It also struggled a bit with wet messes, so it’s best for dry cleanup only. The dust bin is on the smaller side at 12 ounces, so we had to empty it a couple times during a deep clean. But for regular maintenance, it should be fine for most users.

We tested the SEALIGHT Cordless Car Vacuum and were impressed by its strong suction power. At 21000Pa, it easily picked up crumbs, dust, and small debris from our car seats and floor mats. The vacuum felt light in our hands, weighing just 2.6 pounds, which made it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

The 30-minute runtime stood out to us. We cleaned two mid-size cars on a single charge with time to spare. This is a big plus compared to other cordless vacuums that often run out of juice halfway through a cleaning session.

We liked the range of attachments that came with the vacuum. The crevice tool was great for getting between seats and into corners. The brush attachment worked well on upholstery and dashboard surfaces. We found the multi-surface tool handy for pet hair, though it wasn’t perfect for deep-set fur.

The dust cup is on the smaller side at 180ml. We had to empty it a few times during a thorough car cleaning. While not a deal-breaker, it’s something to keep in mind for messier vehicles.

At 70 decibels, the SEALIGHT isn’t the quietest vacuum we’ve used. It’s not deafening, but you might want to avoid using it for early morning cleanups in quiet neighborhoods.

We put the Armor All Utility Vac through its paces in several vehicles. Its 2 peak HP motor packs a punch, easily sucking up dirt, crumbs, and pet hair from car seats and floor mats. The compact size let us maneuver around tight spaces with ease.

We like the included attachments for reaching different areas. The crevice tool got into tight spots between seats. The brush attachment worked well on dash vents. One gripe – we wish the cord was longer for easier reach around larger vehicles. Still, for the price, this little vac offers good value and versatility for most car cleaning needs.

At just 1.2 pounds, the V8 Mate is a breeze to maneuver around our car’s interior. We found its compact size perfect for storing in the glove box or center console, always ready for unexpected messes.

The vacuum comes with a range of attachments that proved handy in our tests. The extension tube helped us reach under seats, while the pet brush was great for lifting fur from fabric surfaces. We liked having two suction settings, though the high-power mode’s 12-minute runtime felt short for thorough cleanings.

Charging the V8 Mate was quick and easy with the USB-C cable. We appreciated the LED ring light that showed us the battery status at a glance. While it worked well for light debris on hard surfaces, we noticed it struggled a bit with ground-in dirt on carpets.
