Black & Decker PAV1200W 12-Volt Handheld Car Vacuum Review

If the idea of lugging a big vacuum cleaner to clean the inside of your car seem like a nightmare to you then you should seriously consider buying a hand-held car vacuum. One such vacuum is the Black & Decker PAV1200W 12-Volt hand-held car vacuum cleaner. If you want to know if this is good enough for you or not just read the following review.

Pros

For a corded car vacuum the length of the power cord is very important. You would want the cord to be long enough so you can reach the back of your car. The power cord for B&D PAV1200W is 16-foot long. Unless you have a limo, this is more than enough.

Once you plug in into the lighter outlet you can start witnessing the power of this handheld vacuum. It's doing a good job in sucking those dust, dirt, gravel and pet hair from your dashboard, door panels, car mat and seat especially after you put on the brush attachment.

The pivoting nozzle helps you clean under the seats and other spots with difficult angles. The nozzle can also be extended to get between the seats (where ordinary nozzles won't be able to reach). As for attachments this car vacuum comes with three of them; an upholstery brush, a flexible hose and a crevice tool for vacuuming narrow spaces. For most people these attachments are more than plenty to cover all kinds of cleaning scenarios.

Cons

Once in a while you will find heavy dirt that is too much for this small handheld vacuum. For this kind of dirt you got no other choice but to take that full-size vacuum to clean your car. You will also face the challenge of cleaning the filter. It will take some effort to clean it thoroughly.

Conclusion

When you need a handy and dependable car vacuum to clean your car interior the Black & Decker PAV1200W is an excellent choice. It is strong enough to suck in those dust, dirt and crumbs. And since it's a corded vacuum there is zero worry about battery losing its charge before you completely clean the car. If you think $40 is a fair price for an excellent car vacuum you should just buy this one.
