If you have kids who are professional messmakers then you definitely need to get this so you don't have to break the bank at the car wash every other day just for those super vacuums! The thing is small but oho! The cord allows me to wash the whole car without changing the plug! I have a deep console so I stash mine right there and then when I need to suck goldfish, uh, fruit snacks, a whole chicken nugget - I can do it as fast as the mess's made. Love it. This is mom's hack!
