HI:

Since others have shamed me for living in a climate where they use nasty things to melt snow and increase traction, I have decided to get a 12V car vacuum to give Madge a spruce up. To answer the two questions / remarks that may come up:

• My parking spot is nowhere near a 120V supply.

• I also have found that the cordless one use NiCad batteris that just don't have much of a lifetime.

I have seen an "Amour All" branded vacuum at $30 CAD and a Black and Decker at $60 CAD.

Does anyone have any real-life experience with either of these?

Seriously.....

Rubbermaid Commercial Corn Fiber Whisk Brush, 12-Inch, Yellow, FG9B5500YEL https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)


It works very well. No batteries. No electricity.

Forgot to add; this is expensive. You can get these much cheaper than what Amazon charges.

I have a portable one for home use, that I just charge and take it. Lasts 15 mins which is plenty to clean seats etc. got one for 25 bucks. I do not like the 12V ones because if you vacuum 15 mins - you need to keep engine running which is wasteful.

Good point. I was very tempted by the Ryobi unit at Home Depot. It has LiIon batteries.

Looks great, but there's no outlets to plug into in my condo garage. I may lump my Black and Decker handvac downstairs to do the vac'ing. I think a couple of wet wipes and a quick vac will do the cleanup job for me. For any big messes, I can use the coin-op vacuums at the car wash.

It may not be cordless but I use this for home and car (2000W) and does a great job. Wasn't expensive to purchase either:

That looks like a really nice unit. Can't seem to find it on Canadian Amazon tho.

Looks like it is unavailable now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) is really similar as far as suction and included accessories are concerned. I've had mine for 3 months and use it twice a week and it has held up really well.
