How does this vacuum work in car interiors?

Great! light weight, small and with the nozzle will get into those tight places - I keep it along with a three piece tool set in My RV. Makita has had this style vacuum for over 20 years and as the battery advances so does the performance. Have to agree that it stops at accounting - unless you hook the battery to a computer.

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.

Works well in cars due to the attachments supplied. It is a strong vac that can get into every spot you need.

Of course. All vacuums work in car interiors. Unless you ask them to do accounting. They draw the line at accounting.

Hi,I was skeptical at first due to the size and price. But it turn out to be much better than I expected. It sucked up my car carpet very clean, since the unit is very light and small, it's very easy to maneuver inside the car. Great to suck up small area around the house as well. Hope it help.

Haven't used it for a car. This is a great "dust buster" type vac, but is no match for a Shop Vac on big jobs.

It works great for that. I use it to vacuum my car and it's very easy. You just have to adapt it for that purpose.

We use it regularly to clean the car. The only problem is its a little heavy, and of course, you have to charge up the battery following the cleaning. Because its a little bulky, hard to get under the seats, etc. Works great in the trunk. Has enough suction power to deal with most stuff.

It is very light weight and has great suction to clean anything in your car.You will need a extention cord.I recommend this vacuum.

If rug is thin it'll get bunched up, vac has very good suction. I also use it to clean my car mats. This vac is borderline commercial use. I'm about to replace mine, it got too noisy. It was mostly our abusive cleaning lady's fault. Best vaccuum I've bought since the old Hoover/Electrolux beasts existed.

This is a replacement vacuum for central vac system. You just attach and basically plug in. We love it in our motor home. You have to have the plumbing in the walls for this unit to work for you.

Mine works fine in the garage for light stuff, and spots around the house. Of course we use a regular house vac on the 1st & 2nd floor. I am pleased for what it is. Greg T.

You sure can Lloyd! As the other responders mentioned this works great for cleaning cars and was one of the main reasons we designed this vacuum!

I use a vacuum cleaner and it sucks every bit of air inside. The problem are the bags' valves. They don't keep the vacuum.

The auto-vac refers to the use of the vac to vacuum the inside of vehicles, not where the power comes from. The vac is powered by 110 volts AC, inside the house power outlet, not the 12 volt DC (battery) that is used in an automobile. We use our auto-vac everywhere we can "plug it in" an AC outlet. Use an outlet in the garage to power it for vacuuming the cars.

This is a pretty nice vacuum cleaner. Yes it has some small attachments. A small one with brush housed in a pocket on bottom of vacuum, a medium sized one, a large floor attachment and 2 extension tubes. It is very powerful, I use the tubes with no attachments to clean many tight places like around mini blinds. The large Hepa filter is washable. I've had this vacuum for some time, I like it, it really helps me keep my place clean and eats dust really well.

Well first off, look at the size of this and look at the size of the vacs at the car wash. I think you can now answer your own question. It blows my mind that this question could even be asked! Its a little 12v hand vacuum! It can't compare to an industrial vacuum, nor is it meant to be compared to one! It is meant to pick up light debris from your carpets. If you have heavy debris, rocks, caked on dirt, then you bring it to the car wash and use those vacuums. For what its meant to do, this vacuum works very, very well.

no, you plug it into your standard electrical 110 volt outlet. It has a 12 foot electrical cord which is adequate for my needs since my outlet is close to my car which is why I bought it for cleaning the car's interior. It has great suction by the way. I've used it many times since I wrote the review.
