FORTEM Car Vacuum Cleaner 120W, 4500 PA Suction, 16 ft Power Cord, Steel Washable Filter, Carry Bag

This is easily the most powerful 12v car vac I’ve ever used. It’s also solidly built, and I expect it to last a long time. Even the filter has a metal rim, and it’s easy to clean. In addition, I love the zip-up carrying case so the cord doesn’t get tangled up in other stuff in my trunk and the attachments don’t get lost. This vac gives excellent performance, but if you want the very best it has to offer, you should do the following.Turn your car on while you vac so the car’s generator can help deliver full voltage. (Obviously, make sure the parking break is on and that the gear shift is in park.) Because so much electricity is going through the plug, don’t be surprised if you find that the metal tip of the plug gets hot. (But don’t worry, the car’s cigarette lighter receptacle is designed for a cigarette lighter that gets hotter than that.) It’s also important to make sure the metal tip of the plug is screwed on very tightly so there is excellent electrical contact inside the plug. BTW, there is a fuse in the plug. (The tip was loose the first time I used my vac, and the metal tip fell off.) Finally, the air exits both sides of the body of the vac, so make sure the vac doesn’t roll on its side and block one of the vents while you’re using it. Again, the vac will give excellent performance without worrying about all those things, but those things will make it perform at peak.

I don't write reviews on Amazon. It's just not a thing I do... but this product deserves my attention. Additionally, I absolutely hate vacuums. The noise. The chord. The bags. The bulk!!! Vacuums are the bane of my existence. But this little guy is so handy and nimble, it makes cleaning my car less of a chore.1) It's not loud. When I first powered it on and heard the low noise I was kind of disappointed and thought it wasn't going to work properly. I was pleasantly surprised when I put it to the test and watched it slurp up road salt on the passenger side of my car with no problem.2) The chord is long. I plugged it into a cigarette lighter under the front console of my Dodge Charger, and was able to walk the vacuum confortably to the rear with zero snags and enough slack to jump into the trunk.3) The vacuum can pick up heavy objects, but misses some of the smaller stuff. I was able to pick up quarters with it. It does not, however, pick up elusive dog hairs. Also seems to lose some power when the tube is connected. The tube got clogged quickly, and I had to clear it a couple of times. I would rather use it without the tube for floor mats and seats.4) Clearing the catch is easy. I was concerned about dust flying everywhere when I disconnected the chamber, but it's filter needs to be removed first before emptying. Overall good design on the chamber. Front flap keeps dust from flying out when off. Snapping the chamber back on is relatively easy as well.It also came with a handy zip carrier for trunk storage. A good machine for quick jobs, but don't expect this to be a professional detailing vacuum. I expect to use this right before picking someone up or for light dirt/rock/salt removal.

The media could not be loaded.  It does what it’s made to do. I live near the woods so there are all types of tree fallings and mud and dirt that track into my car. I only took a video of me using the tools just to show it’s worth the money 💰 and sucked up all of that. Using the unit by itself was a breeze and did not take a lot of time. I was able to clean every nook of my car using this vacuum. And the cord is a nice length so i could do the trunk also.Installing each attachment was as simple as sliding it on and taking it out. I emptied and cleaned the unit. I will recommend and would buy againUpdate: This thing is amazing! I used all of the attachments and they all served their purpose in the greater good. The bag/holder/carrying case held everything and is still sleek enough to be considered compact. Money well spent

I LOVE the concept of this vacuum. It’s compact with some decent accessories. It does a decent job of keeping things tidy in between deep cleaning. It comes with a little bag to keep everything together in one place. To be fair, I would recommend this vacuum with a bit of a warning though. (I’ve only used this vacuum twice now and these are some problems I’ve encountered thus far…•The attachments are a bit awkward. The attachment is easy to get on but not so much to get off. The end attachment piece (basically an attachment to the attachment) came off of the tube. That’s not a big issue. I can easily E6000 it back on.•This vac is bagless. The flap that keeps the debris from coming out of the end of the vacuum wants to keep coming off. Because the debris tank is wide at one end and narrow at the other it’s difficult to slide back into place because the flap goes into the narrow end.•Finally, the filter has a small aluminum ring that is attached at the end of the filter. It, too, continues to come off. Again, I’m sure a little E6000 will remedy this problem.All in all, the product works as expected.

I've always used a shop vac to vacuum out my cars but wanted something smaller and more convenient to use in between detailing. So I decided to buy this vacuum and give it a shot. Initially, I was skeptical of how well it would work and decided to test it out after I had 4 kids, ages 5-8, with muddy boots and doughnuts in the backseat of my vehicle. To my surprise, it did a great job! The suction is strong enough to pull dirt out of the carpet. I did have to go over some spots a few extra times to get it all, but in the end my vehicle looks as clean as it did before the kid invasion. All of the attachments are functional and work well. The crevice tool is extra handy for pulling dirt out of seat seams. I also like the fact that the vacuum has an extra long cord so I can plug in the front 12v and it'll reach all the way into the cargo area of my 4runner. I plan to use this on a regular basis to keep ahead of the mess so when I go to detail my car in the spring, it's not such a daunting task. For the money, this vacuum is well worth it!

This works great. Store it in your trunk when not using. Not to loud and super light and easy to use

Succión y manejabilidad excelentes con gran variedad de dispositivos para acceder a todos los rincones del vehiculo

Great vacuum cleaner! I’m really satisfied with the purchase. Totally worth it.

suction is amazing! Best car hoover out there! I was really dubious about using this as I thought it would be rubbish, but this little diamond of a hoover proved to be anything but! Really easy to use, and it even picks up the bigger stones. Ideal for car. Brilliant for cleaning dash too with little brush attachment. Absolutely 100% would recommend this.

Está muy bien. Le faltaría un aplique con pelo suave que no arañe el salpicadero y demás partes sensibles. Pero por lo demás está muy bien. Además viene con su bolsita de transporte.El cable nó se recoge sólo, así que hay que andar liándolo y atándolo.
