vacuum for cars

Looking for a vacuum to tackle the grimy, crumb-filled depths of your car? You want something compact, powerful, and preferably cordless to reach every nook and cranny without dragging a cord around like it’s a ball and chain. Most car vacuums operate on 12V from your cigarette lighter or come with rechargeable batteries.

Expect suction power around 5-10 kPa for decent dirt pickup. New models generally range from $50 to $150 AUD, while used ones can be found cheaper on sites like Tradingpost or CarShowroom. Don't forget attachments like crevice tools and brushes to get under seats and into vents.

Choose wisely, or you’ll end up with a glorified hairdryer that barely lifts a speck of dust.
