A compact cordless vacuum cleaner designed for tackling crumbs, dust and dirt inside cars is available for less than £30. The 4-in-1 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is priced at £27.19, down from £31.99 at Amazon, and has impressed shoppers who prefer not to haul a full-sized vacuum outside.
Suction power and battery life
The handheld vacuum offers three suction levels ranging from 12,000Pa to 22,000Pa, powered by a high-speed brushless motor capable of reaching 130,000rpm. Its rechargeable 6000mAh battery provides between 18 and 40 minutes of runtime depending on the power setting, with a full charge taking around four hours.
An LED display shows the remaining battery and selected suction level, while a built-in light helps illuminate dirt in darker areas such as underneath car seats. The four-in-one gadget can also blow, inflate and pump air using its selection of specialised nozzles, while the 0.3-litre dust cup provides extra capacity before it needs emptying.
Shopper reviews and alternatives
The 4-in-1 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner has racked up a high 4.7 out of 5-star rating on Amazon. One person said: “Highly efficient, lightweight, as a woman, I find the Dyson handheld type hoovers too heavy. Great suction power, and I even used it to inflate my swimming pool! I also love the digital display showing battery percentage."
Another added as part of a longer review: “The smartest car purchases I’ve made in a while." A third commented: “Absolutely delighted with this handheld vacuum cleaner! It’s lightweight, powerful, and incredibly easy to use. The suction is much stronger than I expected and it picks up dust, crumbs, pet hair, and dirt with ease. The battery life is excellent, giving me plenty of time to clean without needing to recharge."
Some people disagreed, for example, this person said: “First, this is really quite small, so although the performance is quite good given its size, it’s only suitable for small areas like the inside of a car. I’ve only used it once so need to give it a few more tries, but it definitely wouldn’t be suitable for any major cleaning activities, but it does come with a number of useful accessories, and although I have no plans to use it for things like inflating lilos, it’s a handy benefit."
Another commented: “Product does the job. The chamber is much smaller than portrayed on the picture of it but it works and it's lightweight. Brilliant for the crevices of crumbs in the car."
