I like it a lot. What I like best is that every spot that comes into contact with dirt and debris can be easily reached and cleaned, which means there is no loss of suction power. I wish it was a little stronger. It picks up dirt, leaves and gravel easily, but pet hair is a big problem. He can pick it up, but you have to detach it from the padding, which just seems to want to hold it and not let go. For routine cleaning of the car, this is enough. If you have a heavily shedding dog you may want to go to the groomer from time to time as it takes time to pick up all of the coat. I think for what it is it does an amazing job, I mean it's cigarette lighter powered.
