5 Best Car Vacuum Cleaners for 2024

You can plug the unit into a DC 12V cigarette lighter port and produce one of the most powerful suction power among the vacuums we reviewed at 4000PA. It has a long power cord at 12.4 feet so you can easily vacuum from the front to the back of your car. The unit also comes with attachments with a specific purpose such as a short brush for hair and wool fabric, a barge mouth for clingy surface dust, a soft long tube for hard to reach areas and a straight long mouth for tight areas. If you need a vacuum for quick pickups inside your car and if you want to save time, money, and trips to a car wash, this one is for you. This is also great for household chores but you need an adapter to plug this into a wall outlet.

One of our favorites! This wall corded vacuum is the most lightweight among the vacuums we reviewed at only 0.5 pounds and yet it is powered by a 550-watt motor which makes this arguably the most powerful of the bunch. It could pick up anything including pet hairs which most vacuums have a hard time in sucking. It has several attachments such as crevice tool, dashboard tool, console tool, carpet/upholstery tool, and blower tool. This is one of the two units on our list that has a blower function. It several attachments, and for its size, it is hard to believe that it has an onboard storage for the hose, power cord, and the attachments on top, around, and the base of the unit.

This is not your ordinary battery-powered vacuum. It is powered by a lithium battery with special abilities such as long battery life, produces consistent power, charges quickly, no battery memory (can charge at all times without destroying the battery), holds a charge for up to 18 months, and a quick charging base. For a battery-powered vacuum, we didn't expect this unit to be powerful enough for light duty jobs in the house or in a car. Additionally, all attachments such as a rotating nozzle, crevice extension tool, and flip-up brush are all built in! If you're looking for a battery-powered unit, don't look any further. This small, lightweight, portable unit is best for those who wants to keep a vacuum in their cars, for those who wants to clean areas that are far from a wall outlet, and for those who wants to clean without pulling the power cord around. 

This unit is super versatile and has all the features you want or need from a small lightweight vacuum. One of the vacuums on our list that can handle wet and dry pickups and it has a blower function. The unit also comes with several tools such as a crevice tool for tight areas, brush for carpets, and more. It has the longest hose among the vacuums we reviewed at 6 feet 1.25 inch and the biggest waste tank at 2.5 gallons. It has a unique feature that we did not find in any other vacuums -- that is, the auto shut-off feature to prevent the tank from overflowing. Does not require assembly, easy to use, easy to clean, and powerful enough for light duty use at home and in your car. All these features at a low cost.

This unit has several features designed specifically for suction power maintenance such as a cyclonic action that spins the dirt away from the filter, a washable filter, a side empty door that pushes the dirt straight to the bin, and transparent dust bowl that allows you to check if the unit needs cleaning. The design of the unit is very unique. It features a "motor in the filter" technology that makes the unit look compact, small, lightweight, portable, and easy to store. The hose is wrapped around the unit and serves as a handle. You can unwrap the hose to extend to reach tight, hard to reach areas in your car. Among all the vacuums we reviewed, this unit has the longest power cord at 16 feet! For regular vacuuming and quick pickups, this vacuum is great to have in your car.
