I've used this on my car recently and it's amazing! It is very easy to carry around or put on the car seat while vacuuming. BUT TWO POSSIBILITIES YOU SHOULD KNOW: #1: DO NOT use the vacuum bag that came with the kit. This reduces the suction power to almost zero. And even in the manual it is written that the bag is OPTIONAL, not necessary for correct operation. #2: It has a short cord, so make sure you have some extension cords handy. Aside from those two things, it sucks as much or better than the car wash vacuums I've used! I'm glad I chose this one after a lot of research!
