Review on ArmorAll Wet/Dry 12V Vacuum Cleaner: Powerful Cleaning for All Surfaces by Bradley Wacks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Saved me the trouble of detailing my car. Does the job

After that particularly harsh Midwestern winter, I bought this vacuum specifically to remove salt stains from the black carpet in my new car. I was planning on detailing my car, but the price of $150 just for the carpet put me off. I did a little research and found a great video on how to remove those nasty stains. I needed a wet/dry vacuum so that was the move. My Prime membership did it again and got it to me in 2 days. I took it out of the box and thought it looked great. It comes with a nice bag for storage. I plan to keep it in the trunk for convenience so that's great. It started with a phenomenal job. I especially like the splitting tool. It was great for penetrating around corners and tight spaces. It sucks up water and dirt just as well as car wash vacuums. However, the crevice nozzle broke after 10 minutes of cleaning. It wasn't cool. This greatly reduced the suction power. Then I used the brush head (also included) and finished the job. While not as good as a rift tool, it was a reasonable alternative. I noticed that the suction power was higher when the motor was on, and not just in accessory mode. Then came the release of the vacuum. It's not easy and it's quite a mess. Empty the vacuum outside with the car windows open. My awesome self emptied the bin and half the dirt went back into the car. Pooh. But with the help of this vacuum cleaner, it was easy to clean again. All in all it was a great cheap detailing alternative. Too bad the crevice nozzle broke. That's the main reason why I can't give five stars. He did a good job sucking up all the crap that got into my poor rug.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
