This vacuum cleaner is the perfect little gem: it has a metal container, a powerful motor, useful attachments and above all it works great in the car or around the house. I threw away at least 4 bad car vacuums including the Oreck which was beyond useless. If you want a real car vacuum, don't buy one that plugs into the cigarette lighter. He just won't have the strength. You need with cord! This vacuum cleaner also serves as a good machine for cleaning small areas in the house, sofa cushions, bookshelves, etc., and when you buy electronics accessories, you can use it to clean computers, printers, etc. Plastic waste that breaks or doesn't work, this machine is a joy. The hoses fit well, it's well made and efficient!
