Ive already recommended this vacuum to my friend who details his vehicles daily, says our tester.
After six months of consistent use, we would confidently recommend this mini vacuum powerhouse to just about anyone.
The Baseus A2 Pro is small but mighty. This model has a compact waste bin, but it’s still spacious enough to hold a decent amount of debris.The Spruce
Its great for small car messes and deep cleanings.
Plus, it offers concentrated suction with its angled nozzle.
Car vacuums are designed to handle the nooks and crannies of your car.

This cleaning machine isnt cordless, but its still portable enough to store in your trunk.
It also can plug right into your car’s 12-volt automotive DC plug.
The vacuum also comes with two attachments: a bristle brush and a squeegee for small, wet spills.

Still, overall, its a convenient tool thats great for cleaning a majority of everyday messes.
This is my first car vacuum I’ve had.
This cube-shaped powerhouse has two interchangeable attachments that easily snap onto the 4-foot retractable hose.
Theres not much we would change about theWORX WX030L.
Its easy to maneuver, great for cleaning, and only takes 15 to 30 minutes to fully charge.
Its also what can make one vacuum stand out from the rest.
Still, we love this little machine, and give it two thumbs up.
We also love that this vac comes from Shark, a well-known, reliable brand.
This handheld, cordless pick is lightweight and super easy to maneuver.
It also has one of largest dust bins for such a small machine at 14.08 ounces.
Even the brush roller couldnt dislodge the hair that had been pushed into the cars floor carpet.
So, while this is our favorite Shark pick, it isn’t ideal for pet hair.
