There's 2 problems with these vacuums.

1. They often have less power than the plugged versions.

2. The run time sucks. They are ok if you can vacuum your car in 5 minutes or less. And referring back to 1, the more power it has, the less the run time will be.

I'd do corded any day over a cordless unless you absolutely must have a cordless.

Nope again. My Ryobi lasts long enough to finish vacuuming my vehicle. Like 30 minutes is too much time taken to vacuum one vehicle anyway.

Totally agree. The cordless vacs are garbage. They don't pick up $hit! You want a vac that does a decent job cleaning out the interior of a car then get a small shop vac. It will pick up all the grains of sand, grime, dirt, food and all other junk under the seats and with a flexible hose you will get into places most cheap hand vacs won't. If you want to do an inadequate job cleaning out your car then get one of those crappy hand held's. You want to do it right then get a shop vac.

I was thinking of a Ryobi, but has anyone every heard of it?

But seriously...

My biggest gripe with cordless is their physical design, usually precluding my ability to get into crevasses and other tight spaces.

I just open both doors of my ole fishing truck and hit it with a leaf blower. You wouldn't want to try this on the family sedan, but for a beater vehicle, it works just fine.

I use a 6 gal small size shopvac. It has enough suction to pick up small rocks & grit & doghair!

M18 Milwaukee Box vacuum.

We suck strings in long runs of conduit with this puppy, it's powerful. Professional tradesman approved. Ignore all the non-pros in here they don't know what they're talking about.

If you need long run time get a 9AH battery. That's overkill though, a 3AH or 4AH would be just find for infrequent car use.

It's not cheap though, if you want cheap you get cheap.
