ArmorAll Wet/Dry 12V Vacuum Cleaner: Powerful Cleaning for All Surfaces Review

I've had other handheld car vacuums but none were positioned as wet vacuums. I've only used it once so far, but for that one occasion where I vacuumed an entire used car from a recently purchased one, it did a great job. I put a coat of baking soda on the carpet and let it sit for a couple of hours, then vacuumed it all up with this vacuum. There are a few jets, but not too many; If the add-on looks like MacGyver's toolbox, I'll lose interest in keeping it in the car. This vacuum cleaner has…

Very good suction power when connected to a car socket. It sucks up most of the sand and gravel. The included attachments are also good for working in hard-to-reach places. Unfortunately I bought it with the intention of using it in our cabin with an inverter or 12v battery to clean windows. I didn't buy a small 120V adapter but tried my best and bought a "BESTEK AC-DC Car Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter". It's supposed to convert 12V to 120V 6 amps, which I think would be enough, but that…

Designed for the car, this item comes in its own small storage bag. It works pretty well for what it is and for the power it runs at. It has decent suction, but you'll have to go over the area a few times to get it all. If you have a large stack of something, the first swipe will pick up a decent amount, but you usually have to back up once or twice to get it all. It's loud, light, feels comfortable in the hand and has a decent cord length. I have a van and I can easily plug it in front and…

I have a very obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to keeping my car clean and tidy. I also can't stand a dirty/dusty/cluttered interior. I dust my all black insides weekly and since this vacuum is so efficient I vacuum once every 1-2 weeks. I never eat in the car and only carry water or iced coffee in a leak-proof mug. It never gets dirty enough to be cleaned. The amount of dirt my interior sees is just dust, maybe some grass or pet hair, so regular exposure to this vacuum keeps my…

Cleans car carpet only mediocre, but lacks the power to do it quickly. I can spend about 10-15 minutes on this (compared to 1-2 at the mint or with my upright vacuum). I'd rate it a lot lower, but it's something you can take on a trip and does a good job of picking up large debris. It comes with a paper towel travel pouch and two brush accessories. I've already lost my brush accessories because the bag doesn't close very well. On the other hand, I've owned it for about a year and have used it…

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…

It sucks up loose objects like dirt and sand, but won't remove road salt from carpets if it gets stuck. It is limited by the power supplied. I do notice that it has a little more ummppphhh when the engine is running, but it's still not enough to rip the battered winter dirt out of the carpet, and I wasn't expecting that either. I didn't give him fewer stars because it's not his own fault he can't really suck. Its design is limited to 12V and around 10 amps. 20 amps in some cars. Limited to…
