There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Other than to initially test its usage, I've never really had to use the hose adjustment. I find that I can accomplish all my vacuuming needs solely via the pivoting nose, which extends and retracts, and also folds all the way in for compact storage. It also has a handy brush you can flip on.
The power cord is also long enough for me to reach everywhere in my sedan, including the trunk and frunk and the sucking power of the Vac has been plenty sufficient for my needs.
Another must-have feature for me was a washable filter - i didn't want to have to deal with replacing filter bags often - and this Vac delivers on that front.
I've just had it for a month though - will update on how it holds up over time later.
Fyi - In case anyone is wondering - it does not have an internal battery (you cannot charge it and use it unplugged from a power source). It needs to be constantly powered by the cigarette lighter in the car. In the event that you might need to use it in a house or somewhere with only a 110v outlet - grab an Ac to DC Adapter.
Keep in mind though, that while it's plenty sufficient for Automotive cleaning, it's really not a powerful enough vacuum for heavy duty vacuuming inside the house.
As stated in the title, my only qualm was the mesh bag that was provided with this unit - it was all but useless to me. I prefer more solid storage bags for my small appliances, so I ordered a trunk organizer that actually fits perfectly for the Vacuum, along with its attachments (see pictures attached).

A 12v car battery is fully charged at around 12.6 - 13.1 volts. Under a load (doing work) the batteries voltage will start to drop. For instance when you start your car your battery will drop as low as 10 volts and still be a good battery.
Standard alternators put out between 13.5 - 14.5 volts. Once your car starts your battery just hangs out and the alternator powers all the electrical needs of the car.
Basically this vacuum is designed for 12 volts. Weak batteries or extended use can lower the battery below 12 volts. If the car is running the alternator will maintain 13.5+ volts, plenty to properly power the vacuum.
I'd say that many of the complaints about low suction are from people running off the battery and not understanding electricity.
Top reviews from other countries
I did a search for the best car vac of 2017 and this won hands down.
It has a filter that's easy to empty and rise/clean. It has good suction, and a little nozzle that extends to get into the cracks.
Cord is very long, and plugs into the lighter/ac jack for convenience.
It comes with accessories that are useful for cleaning the seats/carpets.
Very happy with this purchase!
CONS
I wish the nozzle was a bit thinner and extended a bit longer, it is hard to really get into crevices between the shifter and between the seats.
OVERALL
Great purchase, glad I got it. Worth buying for a new car.
