WHY USE A CAR VACUUM CLEANER?

The top performers in our review are the Black & Decker Auto Pivot Vac, the Gold Award winner; Metropolitan VM6BS500, the Silver Award winner; and Dirt Devil Extreme Power, the Bronze Award winner. Here’s more on choosing a unit to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of the top 10 car vacuum cleaners.

Even the most committed car enthusiast cannot keep all messes away from their prized possession. Those with a strict no-eating-in-the-car policy can still expect to have anything that attaches itself to shoes – dirt, leaves and worse – accumulate on their car's floor periodically. Some automobile lovers may be willing to pay for professional auto detailing on a regular basis. For the rest of us, a car vacuum cleaner will be more than enough to keep our cars reasonably neat. It can also tide you over between professional cleanings.

Kids, pets and life in general can leave messes in your vehicle, and while you could clean with a normal household vacuum or one at the car wash, there are many advantages to owning a vacuum specifically for cars. It is nice to have something with you in the car so you can clean up messes when you are on the road, for example, especially since a road trip is when you are likely to have some of your most epic spills. Not every car vacuum can be plugged into the vehicle itself, which can impact portability on a road trip, but when you sidle up to a developed campsite, you will have access to an outlet. In your garage you will have access to an outlet, too, so you can clean everything at the beginning and end of a vacation if you choose a vacuum that does not allow you to plug into the car itself.

Cars present a tricky cleaning environment that can benefit from a specific tool. There are very tight spaces in a vehicle, tighter than you find in an average home. Parents and pet owners especially know that food and fur can make their way into even the most remote nooks and crannies of an automobile. A specific type of vacuum can reach them. Our car vacuum cleaner reviews focus on units that are designed for automobiles rather than just general handheld units. There is a whole class of vacuums that have extra-long cords, crevice tools, hoses and other features that make them perfect for cars and trucks. For more information, check out our articles about car vacuums.
