On guard of cleanliness in the interior of the car! 5 compact vacuum cleaners

A compact vacuum cleaner with British roots in the pedigree is in high demand among motorists. The secret of its popularity lies in a favorable combination of cost and good characteristics.

The model receives power from the vehicle's on-board mains (12 V) through the cigarette lighter socket. The length of its power cord is 4.5 m, which allows cleaning not only in the cabin, but also in the boot. The device draws solid dirt particles and spilled liquids into its dust collector, and visual control of filling the garbage container is achieved thanks to the translucent outer walls of the container.

Despite the manufacturer's assurances about the increased power level of the vacuum cleaner (138 watts), in fact, many owners of the model blame the insufficient suction force. Because of this, good cleaning results become visible only after 2-3 times passing the vacuum cleaner in the same place. Another disadvantage is the fact that the model quickly clogs the filter. But for access to hard-to-reach corners, Voin 330 is equipped with a set of three nozzles: slot, dust and for furniture (suitable for cleaning seats from dirt).

For the convenience of storing the vacuum cleaner, a practical bag-case is provided, where all complete accessories are also placed. And the main trump card of the vacuum cleaner is the democratic cost — for a little money to buy a device, you can venture both as a gift and as an acquisition for personal use.

The atypical forms of the Black&Decker PV 1200 auto vacuum cleaner hide practicality and ease of handling. In addition, the device has a small weight, which makes it more manoeuvrable in the cleaning process.

The manual device for dry cleaning of the cabin operates from a 12 V mains when connected to a cigarette lighter by means of a 5-metre cord. It can also receive power from its own battery for a short time (for up to 10 minutes).. A more effective suction of debris particles is facilitated by an inclined spout, which, depending on the angle of inclination, penetrates into all kinds of seat folds and other hard-to-reach places.

As a dust collector, the model uses a plastic container with a volume of 0.44 liters. Dust, ash, sand and even small pebbles settle in it — all thanks to the high suction power (13 watts). The dust collector requires a minimum of intervention on the part of the user to perform the cleaning procedure, therefore, it is possible to get dirty when emptying it from garbage only by accident.

In the disadvantages of the model, many of its owners record an unimportant fixation of the plug in the cigarette lighter socket, which is why the power of the vacuum cleaner is sometimes interrupted. Another minor drawback is manifested at low temperatures: it is associated with the hardening of the power cord and the subsequent loss of its flexibility. Cleaning in this case becomes difficult to produce. However, at times of the year other than winter, the vacuum cleaner shows itself exclusively on the positive side, acting as a faithful assistant in maintaining cleanliness.

Vacuum cleaners from the Dutch company Philips captivate the consumer with high build quality and ergonomics thought out to the smallest detail. The model of a compact device for maintaining cleanliness with the FC 6141 index was no exception to this rule.

The vacuum cleaner works both offline and wired, receiving the required 12 V from the socket of the car cigarette lighter. The duration of operation from its own battery barely exceeds 10 minutes, whereas to charge it, you will need to hold the device on the charging base for 18 hours. However, the high suction power allows you to complete the cleaning process in a car or on the kitchen table in a matter of minutes.

The double filtration system cuts off all large dirt at the first stage, and at the second — the smallest particles of garbage, which then settle in a dust collector with a capacity of 0.5 liters. The vacuum cleaner fits very firmly in the hand, the merit of which lies on the shoulders of the ergonomic shape of the handle and the rubberized coating of its inner surface for a more tenacious grip. The power button of the device is located exactly under the thumb.

Together with the vacuum cleaner, the manufacturer carefully packed a pair of slot nozzles of different sizes, two brushes and a tube with a long hose into the box. The whole thing can be stored in a convenient case that will not take up much space in the boot or home pantry. As a result, Philips FC 6141 is suitable for the role of a real guardian of cleanliness, who knows how to deal with pollution and confidently fulfills his obligations to maintain a neat appearance of the car interior or home.

A powerful rechargeable vacuum cleaner from the American company Black & Decker is dressed in a translucent outfit, which makes it convenient to control the degree of filling of its dust collector.

By the way, two dust collectors are provided for garbage collection in the design of the model at once: a container of increased volume (0.7 L) is designed to collect solid garbage, and a smaller tank (0.28 L) is for liquids. It is possible to suck water, spilled juices or melted snow from car mats using a special nozzle. Unfortunately, there are no attachments for other purposes in the model configuration.

A single charge of the built-in battery ensures the operation of the device for about 12 minutes. Given the high suction power, this time is often quite enough to vacuum around the entire perimeter of a passenger car. But the Black&Decker WD 9610 spends much more time at the charging station — a full cycle of replenishing energy reserves in its battery tanks takes exactly a day. The vacuum cleaner is parked vertically on the base, which, according to the installation method, resembles a family of electric kettles.

The garbage collection container is disconnected from the vacuum cleaner body and can be easily cleaned under running water in the sink or bathroom. Accordingly, the user does not have to get his hands dirty once again to clean the vacuum cleaner from garbage. And although there is strong competition in the price range of the model, the battery vacuum cleaner will definitely find its consumer both among the household inhabitants and among motorists.

High quality and reliability have long been the symbols of the German Bosch brand. These attributes have been reunited in a variety of types of products manufactured by the company, including the Bosch BHN 20110 cordless vacuum cleaner, which is equally well suited for home cleaning and maintaining cleanliness in the car.

The absence of extra wires had a positive effect on the convenience of cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. The time of its continuous operation with the battery tanks filled is about 16 minutes, after which a long process of replenishing the energy reserves of the battery will be required (12-14 hours at the outlet). Although the latter figures seem large, however, in comparison with the closest rivals in the class, they provide a gain in time for a full charge of the device by about one and a half to two times.

With a weight of 1.4 kg, the vacuum cleaner is practically not felt in the hand during prolonged cleaning. A fraction of the excess weight of the model is added by a complete slot nozzle and collected garbage, which settles in one part of the dust collector. Emptying the container is easy and fast, and the filter installed in the model is subject to washing under running water.

Dirt particles are drawn in by a vacuum cleaner from both flat surfaces and hard-to-reach places. The suction power of the model is sufficient to deal with large-sized debris (including pebbles and wet sand). The price for advanced cleaning capabilities is higher than that of competitors. Nevertheless, it is justified, because the symbol of the vaunted German quality a priori cannot cost a little money.
