Hi.
Has anybody got one of these 12v vacuum cleaners.
To date i have never had a decent 12v car vac. They've all been absolutely rubbish but this one seems to have loads of raving reviews on Amazon .

Is this the one with the pivoting head? If so it's pants!

It means it is not very effective i'm afraid.

Agree, I've tried a number of 12 volts ones. All rubbish really.
Now I use one of these - works like a dream!!!

Yes pants means not very good, sorry about that!

Cheers buddy.

No vac which plugs into a lighter socket limited to 10amps, can be very effective, simply because the wattage is limited to 120w - compare that to your home vacs 2,000watts.

I agree that any 12v vac is going to be a complete let down but i can't believe all the positive reviews on Amazon. I've gone through 50 reviews and not one has had a bad word mentioned on it. Over the last 25 years I've tried a fair few 12v vacuums and they've all been a pile of poooo. Where my wife works they have them on offer at £30. plus her 10 % discount so if they are any good i could grab my self a bargain.
Are Amazon reviews a good basis to go on or is the truth slightly exaggerated for the better of the product " shall we say "

Yes got one great for house and car and comes with useful tools
Cordless so much more freedom only let down is about 15 mins use per charge and long charge time - makes you work fast!
