Many people mention cleaning their cars with this and similar models. How? Is there an adapter that you can use in ur car?

If there is, I didn't get one. I expect they just use it somewhere close to an electrical outlet.

There is not a car lighter adapter, but it has such a long power cord that you can easily connect the vacuum to ac power and reach a car in the garage.

The unit comes with a long-neck "corner and crevice" attachment as well as a two-inch upholstery head attachment. These would be just what you need for a car...of course, you'll need a wall outlet to make the unit operate....there's no dc plug for a car battery.

There is no adapter for this model. You have to plug it in but what a great job it does on your car. This is so much better then the cordless model.

I have not used it in a car, but look like the accessory comes with it (see picture) can reach in narrow corner in the car. It does not have a brush end to stir up the dirt inside carpet.I used on hardwood floor and tile floor, and this vacuum work very well.

I use it as an adapter from my phone. It sounds good on my factory car stereo. I'm pleased with it. I imagine that if I had a better sound system in my car it could make it to great.

I only use in cars so you may have to try it and return if doesn't work for you. Really love mine.

I haven't used then to clean cars. Have used then to clean around the house, and I LOVE them! They soak up a LOT, and scrub realllly great!

This machine will work great on your car carpets. You will need to bring the unit outside as the hose and attachment are not long enough to reach that far. The attachment has just as strong of a suction and cleaning power as the unit itself! It will really clean your car carpets, fluff them up, and make them smell very fresh. Go on...give it a whirl! :)

just beware that "micro attachment" kit. It is good for cleaning keyboards, but not for crevices in cars. too small

This is a very simple, but powerful, little vacuum. I do not know of any adapter and can't imagine how it would work to add attachments.

If you have a tape player in your car then just use a simple tape adapter, like the kind you would use for a cd player. I get great sound with mine!

I apply wax by hand and use the AutoSpa to remove and polish. I have used it for applying wax, but gets the head full of wax and you cant remove it to clean.

I have animal dyson upright, haven't found an adapter to use it yet. Still trying to find one. Can't say no to your question but I'm still trying to find a way.

I have not actually tried it in my car - but I will give you my opinions. It has better than average suction. Definitely better than those dustbusters. Not as good as your vacuum (if you have a decent one) and if you are used to the powerful suction of a shopvac or the vacuums at the car washes, you will be disappointed. Otherwise - I think it would be a passing second to hauling your inside vacuum out of the house to the garage outlets. If you are talking about sucking up tons of things from cars used by kids - I would go use a car wash vacuum. If you are just talking about general dirt, something that's spilled and vacuuming upholstery - then yes - I think it would be fine. Hope that helps.

They are so proud of it , it dosen't say. It will only use water based solvent, not very good for cleaning car parts unless it's hot. I put mineral based solvent in mine and burned the motor out in a day.

If you own an adapter that lets you charge your smartphone or tablet in your car, the same adapter should charge this item. I have a home charger I use for everything...batteries and phones and it works perfectly with this. This is such a useful tool for me.

Only 1 attachment comes with the unit. The unit itself has a narrow end which vacuums tight areas fairly well. I use it in my car and find it satisfactory. If you have some really tight, areas with a lot of debris, it may not work as well.

Nathan, how does one connect the adapter to the car stereo? I have a Honda Accord with AM/FM/XM/CD but there's no opening or port for any kind of adapter. You say that you've permanently wired the connection. Does that mean you fiddled with something under or behind the dashboard?

I bought an extension plug to use with mine, however I was not pleased with the suction of this at vacuum and returned it. Loved the concept of having it readily available for my new car and it came with a very nice carry bag, but it had trouble vacuuming minimal debris.
