I had an old Black and Decker car vac. that died after 20 years of use. That one was a great one. This one is turning out to a good one also. I hope it lasts that long. The extra tools help car vacuuming easier.

I bought this little gem (stainless steel to last longer) in March, 2010, to clean my new car. I checked ratings and found it rated higher than most, so I bought it - wanted something better than the rechargeable ones. I have only used it twice because of health issues but I am really, really disappointed. Suction isn't what I was expecting - really have to work hard at getting it to pick up most bits on my car's interior. Also, the attachments keep falling off. I think I'll just (pardon the pun) suck up the loss and buy something else ... this one's too much of a challenge to use and much too frustrating!

This Vacuum must be plugged in to your car battery to operate. It does not have an internal battery so you are limited by the length of the wire. Looks like a very well made product with a very nice design. But, I wanted a battery operated vacuum and returned it for a full refund. My e-mails were answered promptly and even though I did not get the product I wanted I would recommend the seller as being very courteous and professional. The seller was 'I Need Stuff'.

I gave this to my aunt for christmas. It stopping working within the first 10 minutes of use. I'm infuriated. It simply failed, the vehicles electrical fuses were all intact. I bought the Metro vacuum because it touted "Made in USA". That labeling made me feel good.

I have another (POS) 12 volt vacuum of my own, which cost only $19. It was Made in China. It works fine and is over 6 months old.

This sort of thing gives me gray hair.
