Don't have to worry about the cord getting tangled in fittings in the car, can vac the boot without having a long cord dragging about. |

I've got a Ryobi One+ hand vacuum that I use for around the house. I occasionally use it in the car as well for a quick touch up. I use the 1.5Ah Lithium battery with it and I probably get around 5 hours / if not longer of use out of it before i recharge.
I'm happy with it. |

The trouble with all the dust buster type portable handhelds is they cannot reach or get into all the nooks and crannies there are in a car's cabin.
I gave up on them long ago... Nothing beats a proper vacuum with a long flexible hose and attachments. ![]() |

Hello,
I use 2 dollar dustpan and broom,a 2 inch paintbrush for tight spots, its not hard and cleans as good or better than a 12v plug in job, which only hold a tablespoon of dirt on the cone filter before they fail to suck anything, never mind pebbles! Cheers Billy. |

A bit off track & I realise they're not to everybody's taste, but these work very well as they have a raised surround that catches all the crap & are well made/heavy duty.
https://www.motoquipe.com.au/buy/rm-...RoCgNYQAvD_BwE Dyson have an excellent rechargeable hand held and they make a 'Çar Cleaning Kit' which works well. https://shop.dyson.com.au/accessorie...-kit-908909-09 |

Yes; I've also become a Dyson stick vacuum car cleaner. The 12V don't have the power, the mains ones take too much effort and many of the other rechargeable can't compete with the power and versatility of the Dyson for car cleaning. It's also great for my nightly vacuuming of the spiders away from the high mounted security cameras I have outside my house.

A dustbuster style of Vac would be good for the quick cleanup of dirt and gravel but has limatations as others have pointed out. A Vac to do the lot you could all the way to a Dyson handheld with add ons. My sister uses a Dyson hand held to clean the car as the Dog travels in the cargo area of the SUV everyday.

I have not used one so can't say if they are good or not.
But by going by what you are asking and the price it would be worth checking out. https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-po...m-kit_p0022439

Aldi have a 20v hand held workshop vacuum cleaner for $35 which you will need to purchase a battery(4ah) for $40 and charger for $20. They had them a week ago in their catalog, but still have them in stock.
