This thing is perfect! The things I looked for when shopping for my first auto vac were:
1) Length of cord – plenty of legnth. DON’T EVER GO FOR A WIRELESS AUTO VAC! The suction power dies, and eventually, you’ll have 5 minutes of good suction per charge. The cord for this vac is too long – and that’s a good thing. Of course you’ll need a cigarette lighter input, which all cars should have. I am able to reach the back of my Scion tC with ease and extra cord available. And if you know anything about tC’s, they are small cars so you big car owners should have no problem at all.
2) Suction power – Since this is a wired-type, there’s no need to worry about loss of suction power. With 12V, this thing will clean up your car pretty nicely. For those stubborn pieces of dirt, hair, cloth, etc. that stick to your car fabric, the brush attachment does wonders.
3) Attachments – It comes with three attachments – a brush attachment, a rectangle-to-circle attachment to attach the brush, and a tube attachment to reach those hard-to-reach spots. This vac comes with a pivoting action end which is, in my opinion, genius. It really helps to access under the seats and under the side-ends of the back seats.
4) Convenience – It’s lightweight, and comes with a bag, so you can carry it around for travel.
All in all, this is the best auto vac solution. Don’t worry about the price – this thing is worth every penny.

Excellent item! I recently purchased a new BMW and was looking for a small, handy vac, that I could power/stow in the car, to pick up lint and dirt. Although the vacuum seems a little bulky at first, the nozzle extends to get between and under the seats. The attachments are nice, and the filter is easy to empty. For the price, it’s a must have.

This vacuum has plenty of suction power to get the job done. The attachments gets into those tight places. A good quality product

It’s the third vacuum cleaner I have experience with. First one was cheap and useless even it was plugged in cigarette lighter it never could pick up any dirt, the second was the same but wireless with 3 minutes of full suction and 2 minutes of slow death (30 min to recharge). I’m done with cheap (around $12) stuff. It was all wasting of money and I always ended up with brush cleaning. Even gas station vacuum cleaners with their nasty hoses never could done the job what I done with this fine product: Black & Decker PAV1200.
It was my first expression after I just started cleaning: “WOW!!!” and the same when I was done “Impressive!!!”.
I came with two brushes, hose and adapter for hose connection. But it also has a nice feature as moving and extensible nozzle. You can adjust its position for your convenience and after you done you can fold it what makes whole unit is compact. If you look at the picture of cleaner you can see the red tip on the end of nozzle. That one is extensible to about 4-5″. And its tinny so you can reach all slits.
I used one brush on this tip extending nozzle and I was done with cleaning of my minivan in 10 minutes reaching all spots including carpet mats, under pedals, under seats, between seats and decor. I got everything: fluff and hair with brush tip, dust and crumbs with cleaner suction which is pretty decent.
Cord is pretty long and easy to reel on back after you done.
Cleaner comes with nice bag with handle, so all parts including the unit you can keep together and it does not take to much room.
I Highly recommend this unit for everyone who got tired of search of decent vacuum cleaners and want to keep his car clean.
P.S. I cleaned with car engine running (did not want to waste my battery)

This handheld vacuum cleaner works fine. It is not as strong, but hopefully Black & Decker improves it over time. For light dirt, it works perfectly fine. If you have heavy soil dirt on your car carpet you may need more powerful one or you have to be a little patient; it will eventually get all that heavy soil. I am a dirt freak so it is helpful to have it in the car for a quick touch up.
One thing I really like about this vacuum cleaner is that it comes with a hose and a brush, which is necessary for mobility. You can clean dirts on dash, door panels, instrumental panel, on and inside the seats, etc. For my car, I can just stick it in the cigarrett charger without put my car key in the ignition.
In short, it is for what it worths and it can do a reasonable good job.
