Default Car hoovers

The ones you plug into the cigarette lighter.

Are they any good?

bought a recommended one.

ended up binning it literally.

suction is poor.
just use a normal hoover with toolkit, or drive to your local petrol station

My other half bought me one of these about 5 years ago because she got fed up with me nicking the hoover to clean up stuff round the cars and in the garage / workshop.

It is a bit more expensive than you may want to pay about £40 I think, but its a cracking job. I have used mine to lift all manner of things.

I got a Halfrauds one, used it, took it back for a refund - they didn't even ask why I wanted my money back.

Told 'em anyway!
