Giving the handheld vacuum a whirl

Cleaning the car vacuum

Putting the vacuum away

Post-cleanup thoughts

I wanted an easy-to-use car vacuum that I can whip out any time I want to do some light cleaning. Based on my experience with the Dustbuster, I believe it did the job. I wasn't expecting it to be able to handle tougher messes or achieve a deep clean. For that, I know I'd need to go to a professional or at least use a corded vacuum. On the box, it said that the Dustbuster was ideal for large and small debris, and as far as I could tell, it was a check on both claims.

There was enough battery life in the device for me to accomplish a quick sprucing up of a fairly tidy car. If you're the sort of person who wants to stay on top of debris accumulating in your vehicle and intend to vacuum pretty regularly, you shouldn't need more than 15 minutes or so for every vacuum session. Given the affordable $30 price tag, I'd say the vacuum is worth it. Apart from cleaning up our family car, it can double as a secondary home vacuum that I can easily pick up for minimal tidying and put right away once I'm done.
