Carrand 94005AS AutoSpa Bagless Auto-Vac for sale
With 2 kids (and a supposedly endless supply of goldfish crackers below the seats) and a large dog I'm not stranger to car vacuums. We've had a short ton of different ones and I normally just return to taking my Eureka 3684F Pet Lover Mighty Mite Eureka Mightly Mite (best vacuum ever for hardfloors I might add) outside to use. I try to shy away from 12v car vacs as they just never receive enough power to suck dog hair out of carpeting and normally I hate bagless as pulling tons of dirty/dusty hair out of a little cup isn't fun but decided to give this a try.
I love that the attachments all store directly on it and that it has a cord wrap place, though given the size they could have included a longer cord and it would get still wrapped well. I do wish there was a balanced thinner crevice tool or that I could use tools from my other vacuums on it since it does get amazing suction for it's size. The rubberized coating so far is holding up for me and it's another huge plus in my book since that coating really helps pull pet hair off carpeting, I hope it doesn't wear off as other get mentioned. The brush heads work well on vents. The pipe in general could be longer, I obtain a minivan though so for most people it's probably sufficient.
So why not more stars? Well the smell this thing produces is STILL in my van over a week later, and that's with leaving the windows down in the garage and driving with them cracked.. it's awful. It comes boxed up pretty much open so obviously any smell is coming from the inside when using it. I've only used it once as I'm desperate not to have that odor even stronger, I might plug it in on the porch and turn it on to see if it burns off a bit. Not sure if having a hair/crumb free car is worth it if you don't want to be in it because of a lingering odor. Lastly I wish it had bags, if you just get a few crumbs the bagless pouch is likely great but for anyone with pet hair or more dirt it's a royal sorrow to empty out and given how small it is it also fills up very quickly.
My search for the perfect car vac will continue, though if I can get rid of the odor this will become my new go-to for quick pickups.

2.0 out of 5 stars They don't make'em like the used to, September 20, 2011

This review is from: Carrand 94005AS AutoSpa Bagless Auto-Vac (Automotive)
I bought this for my wife. She was looking for a compact vacuum for her car. The upside is, it's very lightweight and portable. The downside is, it's lightweight because it is 100% plastic. (Just like most things these days) The puzzle was the filter, (on the 4th picture in from the left of the product), is held in place by a plastic clip on a cover. The plastic clip is not strong enough to hold the filter into place. I would compare it almost to a larger version of the clip on the lid of a pen from a strength standpoint. Try as we might, we could not get the filter cover to close, making the vacuum completely inoperable. I gave it two stars because it is lightweight and it did obtain a nice set of tools with it. I wish I would have stuck with the name brands instead of buying this product. I ended up returning it and going with the name brand product.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unbelievable little vacuum!, June 26, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Let me start by saying that I LOVE to vacuum. I receive 4 the dogs bollocks and 2 cats, thus also obtain 4 different vacuums. I was lucky enough to find this vacuum, and after several uses, I just HAD to review it.
This vacuum is almost perfect for its intended use (the car). It's very light, easy to hold in one hand while using the other to vacuum, and SUPER powerful! This little vac vacuums better than my shop vac - the suction is unbelievable! It's got a pretty good sized bagless compartment for emptying, and is very simple to empty - just press a button, pop out the reservoir, dump in the garbage, put back in the vac, and close.
The attachments are what really sell this vacuum. It has a standard crevice tool, a carpet tool, and two other brush attachments. The carpet attachment is unbelievable - I receive never found anything that gets rid of dog hair in my deck mats better than this attachment! It's got a rubberized tip, so it collects all the hair and sucks it up. It works far better for pet hair in carpet than any other tool I've found!
The brush attachment works great for vacuuming the dust from car vents and crevices. The crevice tool works really well - it only got plugged up once (with a sticky bear), so I shut it off, shook out the bear, then started again.
The pipe is made of cheap plastic, but luckily doesn't eccentricity like most plastic hoses. It actually works really well, and has a built-in swivel at the base which is a very nice touch.
This is one of the best vacuums I've ever owned, and I've tried a lot! The suction is unbelievable, and it works FAR better than any other vacuum I've tried thus far. It's also great for small projects inside the home (vacuuming the couch, electronics, etc.). Highly recommended!
