BLACK+DECKER dustbuster 12V Corded Flexi Handheld Car Vacuum Cleaner, PD1200AV-XJ [Energy Class A++]

I upgraded to this one from the previous version as I was impressed by it alot. Now I'll say one thing. I had read alot of the reviews on this product before I bought it on lightning deal for around £35. And even though there were a few mixed reviews I still went for it as I needed to vacuum my new car.Let me set the scene first. My car was new however I'd broken some glass in my boot and pieces were lying around. Also I'd recently just gone to one of my close friend's Iranian wedding. And after the wedding had helped him take the extras back to his house. So there was a bit of mess in the back passanger side with flower petals and some coloured powder I wasn't sure about!So I turned my car on and plugged in the vacuum into the 12V socket in the car. And I can say yes this isn't the suction of a dyson - but by God my car is now clean again! The glass in the boot was no problem - sucked up all the little pieces. The dust and flower petals in the back no problems with the correct tool - you get 2 different toold to make it easy to get all those hard spaces.Now you have to remember it will take time and technique to get it clean so don't think it'll take 5 mins. You have to be patient and make sure you do it properly using the correct tool. And take some time to make it the best looking floor you can. Remember car carpet already makes it difficult to suck anything up as sh*t just seems to stick to it so easily.Overall for the price I paid there's no way I can complain especially considering the amount of tools you get, the mesh bag to store everything in and the added convience of long cable which plugs into your car 12V socket. You have to remember you're not paying a bomb so if you're considering getting this for your car - then I'll say dont hesitate and just buy it. Or if you have the money then spend £100 more to get something like a dyson with stronger suction but maybe not as much convenience. Great item with so much for the price.

As some folk have said, the suction power isn't on par with domestic type vacuums but for a 12v one it's pretty decent, having the flexible suction pipe and tools is much easier and more efficient than other types and it's easy to empty the waste tub.Works for me in my truck and in my caravan

I will try to be as honest as I can in a hope, my review will help you decide to buy this or not.So first impression: very small, very light weight and comfortable to hold and use, the hose is not too long but as it is small the unit it self, can be moved around. Very long wire, easy to reach the boot even on an estate car. The wire it self is thick and a bit hard, shows quality straight away.How it works? Its not too loud, you can work longer time with it without killing your head or ears and this is a good thing. The suction power is not to be compared to a 230V hoover, but is defo the best one I have ever used. I have managed to completely clean the carpet in the car, picking up everything from leafs to small chips without leaving anything behind. Yes, it took a bit longer than with the one used to hoover the house with, but this is a 12V unit, not to forget. The attachments are nice and you can reach tight places as well with them, the brush head works well on the vents , but dont use it on the carpet, its not made for that. You can fold back the brush and use the wide head to large areas like the boot to get it done quicker.How lond does it last? I will come back and update this section when the unit gives up.In overall is a good little hoove and I would recommend it to those, who live in a flat like me, and to use the good old house hoover, have to get an extention out the window. If I would live in a house, I would only use this little hoover, if on holiday. So for construction I would give 5 stars and for performance 4 stars. Now this is because other 12V hoovers won't get more than 2 stars from me. Thanks for reading.

This product is lovely . Makes my car cleaning very easy and the product is strong. Can last over an hour non stop cleaning. The best of it's kind I have used . I recommend this to every/anyone. Good value for money, very light weight, less power, average noise level

Ease to use. Works well for a 12volt unit .

So the mission for a decent car hoover was ever on going....then I read the reviews on this little beauty, I got it today and was straight outside!! It's great !! Plugs into 12v port( cigarette lighter) really long cable so reaches everywhere, I live on the moors with a dog who likes to sit in the actual car,(sporting his very lovely new harness and seat belt obviously) needless to say we both get filthy, dirt, stones, dog hair, bits of food ( his and mine) now I was sensible and didn't expect it to hoover up stones but I found using a heavy brush first to loosen dirt( mine was pretty bad) really helped especially in the corners, this little gem was great, got all the dirt up, carpet looks great, no bits left, I even scrubbed the rubber mats, I can highly recommend this, comes with a little bag so you can keep it in the boot, definitely worth getting

not sure how anyone can think this is useful. no suction of any strength. couldn't even stick the hos4 to hand. really not fit for the job. so unless this one was defective(it looked brand-new. its not a good vac

Had this product for 2 years now and made use of it when I have been staying out all week in the lorry. Is great to use and has a decent amount of suction. Easy to empty and the cable is more than long enough.
