In BriefAs this vacuum saves me 5 minutes unpacking and packing 10 meters of extension lead and lugging heavy house vac it get 5 stars easy. Easy to use within a car, lighter than a house vacuum and gets to spots other vacuums just don’t.In detailThe vacuum isn’t that strong, and get significantly weaker if the filter is clogged up even with fairly light use, but the cars seem to accumulate fine dust. I find I wash the filter every 3rd or 4th time I use it and I use a brush the other times. The attachment allow for cleaning the carpets and getting to some hard to reach places e.g. front foot wells. The hose help manipulate the vacuum head while cleaning and really where this tool is the best for car use. While B&D do a car version of this vac you have to plug it into the cigarette lighter, which didn’t appeal to me, plus I don't have a boot power socket.I only use the vacuum for carpets and upholstery, rubber mats. I never use it on exposed plastic or paint, a wet cloth would be better. I have never needed to discharge the battery cleaning a car. I used it to clean two cars back to back, but to be fair the cars only need a quick once over. I use the vacuum very occasionally around the house for light use, where dragging a large hover out is over kill.The vacuum isn’t that powerful. I pick up heavy items or take the mats out first and just pat them down. The price yo yos from 60 to 100 gbp, I paid 75 from Amazon warehouse and I felt it was a little overpriced, I see it is currently 99 which is OTT.I expect the next generation of this vac to have the following:Better suction, the attachments needs to get into hard to reach place like in between front seat and hand brake. A better designed filter. Fractionally lighter. An attachment that can get fine needle leaves out of the carpet. The curved plastic handle on the hose makes it a little difficult to get angle in some places, but is perfect 90% of time. It needs to be fair price and a slightly better quality.

Likes: Super Lightweight, reasonably powerful, great design. Two useful tools. this vac is great for arthritis as holding the motor separate from the nozzle enables good balance and the lead hand can direct the nozzle with great accuracy. With arthritis in both hands this vac is especially useful for dusting skirting, Venetian blind slats, architrave door-tips, window sills & surfaces. It is light enough to hold in one hand and direct the hose nozzle with the other as I move from room to room. The suction power and charge is sufficient for a light clean of a small bungalow, but the battery would need a recharge, for larger properties, heavier clean, or a household car. As there is no hose extension pole or floor tool this isn't suitable for a main vac which is a missed opportunity.Improvements: perhaps more power / longer battery use, quickervrecharge time. A hose extension, there is no way of extending the reach! I'm 5'3", a lightweight retratractable, twist to lock extendable plastic tube would be handy for ceiling lightfittings & cobwebs instead of having to balance on a stool! A floor tool to avoid bending.
