We clean up the car. TOP-5 compact vacuum cleaners

Black&Decker ADV 1220

An American company that manufactures power tools for the home and garden produces very good "pocket" vacuum cleaners. One of the best specimens took the first place in our TOP 5 because it is a good low-cost solution and offers adequate quality for its money. The device is not without flaws, but if you initially understand what it is intended for and take into account its cost, then it deserves the attention of buyers.

The vacuum cleaner is designed for dry cleaning of the car interior, that is, for cleaning only dry dirt and dust. Among competitors, it is distinguished by an original design solution and an unusual shape with bright orange splashes. There are two buttons on the handle - a mode switch (on / off) and a button for removing the filter. The cable has a length of 5 m and is connected to the cigarette lighter. When the vacuum cleaner is not in use, it is wrapped around a kind of vacuum cleaner leg and snapped into place with a special clasp.

The package includes a main nozzle, an extension hose for cleaning hard-to-reach narrow places (for example, under a car seat), a brush, a crevice nozzle, as well as a case for transportation and storage. The filters are reusable, so for better performance of the vacuum cleaner, they should be cleaned regularly.

The model has a power of 12 W, and this is enough to quickly remove a small accumulation of dirt or sand, clean the rug and chairs from dust. However, the Black & Decker ADV 1220 is not enough for a full-fledged cleaning of the “forces”. The Cyclonic system (i.e. a cyclonic system without changeable bags) improves the suction of fine particles, and double filtration contributes to a longer filter life. The volume of the garbage collector is 0.61 liters. To clean the vacuum cleaner, you need to unfasten the nozzle and shake out the contents.

Pininfarina PNF1303

This model from the Italian manufacturer has an elongated trapezoidal shape (which has already become a classic) and a large comfortable handle. This form is very ergonomic and comfortable due to its streamlining. So, it allows you to comfortably manoeuvre in a limited space (like a car interior), and also facilitates cleaning.

Pininfarina PNF1303 will cope not only with cleaning in the car, but also clean the furniture in the house, rugs and other interior details. It is designed for cleaning "on top", but if you have the patience, then you can completely clean the house with it. In the process of cleaning, you will not adapt to the wire, get tangled in it or stumble. The model has its own 1500 mAh lithium-ion battery, which charges six hours from a special docking station and works up to 20 minutes at maximum power. The power plug can also be connected directly to the vacuum cleaner, but it is better to charge the device on the stand.

On the case, next to the power button, there is a button for parsing the vacuum cleaner, a charge indicator, and an LED backlight. On the side faces, transparent inserts will help to monitor the fullness of the container, whose capacity is 0.47 liters. To empty it, you need to remove the "spout" and shake out the contents.

The vacuum cleaner has a power of 6 W, a Cyclonic system and a double filter. Two speed levels allow you to choose exactly the one you need depending on the degree of pollution. With such characteristics, 18 minutes of the built-in battery is enough for dry cleaning of the interior.

The package includes an extension hose with an adapter for connecting to the body, a turbo nozzle, two crevice nozzles and a brush. An important feature is the turbo nozzle, which does an excellent job with pile, wool and other “sticky” fibers.

Philips MiniVac FC 6149

Philips has equipment for every taste and for different user requests. And there is absolutely nothing surprising in the fact that it also produces compact vacuum cleaners for cleaning car interiors along with household appliances and TVs. And most importantly, it breaks the stereotype that those who spread themselves in all directions will not succeed in any. The Philips FC 6149 compact vacuum cleaner is proof of this.

It's amazing how the developers were able to dilute the classic design of a compact vacuum cleaner and make it original and extraordinary. The shape of the case has soft smooth lines, the "nose" is lowered down and has an aerodynamic shape for effective dust collection. The shape of the handle is square with rounded corners. It has a rubberized finish for a comfortable grip. Despite experiments in ergonomics, the vacuum cleaner is comfortable to use. The power buttons are located at the top of the case, there is also a container release button and a charging indicator. In the package you will receive a hose, large and small brushes, long and short crevice nozzles, a charger with compartments for accessories, as well as a carrying case and an adapter for connecting to the car cigarette lighter.

The device is powered by a built-in Ni-MH battery that takes about 18 hours to charge and lasts 11 minutes. Not a record figure, but it depends on the power, and in this model it is rather big (as for portable models) - 22 watts. The device quite easily handles with dust, dirt and sand, reliably drawing them into a container with a capacity of 0.5 L. And with the included adapter, you can connect the vacuum cleaner to the car and not be afraid that it will run out of power in the middle of cleaning. Unless, of course, you will clean in the car or garage.

The second Black & Decker brand vacuum cleaner got into our TOP-5 not for its beautiful design. Rather, not only for him, but also for the wide functionality and excellent quality of work. This vacuum cleaner model is quite popular in Europe, although it is not widely known here. The futuristic appearance attracts the eye, visually highlighting the device from a number of analogues. The engineers were inspired. And although it seems quite large and bulky at first glance, in reality it is a compact machine that even a child who urgently needs to hide the traces of an attempt on a cookie can handle.

Thanks to the excellent power of 25 W, the model is able to work as a home vacuum cleaner for easy cleaning of furniture, and will also become an indispensable tool for cleaning up the car interior. The only negative is that the network cable is 3 metres long, and you will have to adjust to the outlets to make it long enough. But the vacuum cleaner can also run on its own lithium-ion battery for about 15 minutes. To do this, he needs to charge almost a day, although there is an accelerated recharge in 4 hours (for short-term cleaning).

The capacity of the dust container is 0.56 liters. The Cyclonic system handles sand and mud well, and the 3-stage filter will last longer and better than conventional ones. Thanks to the built-in rigid hose, it is very convenient to clean hard-to-reach and high surfaces. Also included is a universal nozzle that can be used as a brush, crevice nozzle and floor nozzle. It is quite easy to free the dust collector from debris - unscrew the handle from the side of the transparent wall and open it like a washing machine. This is where you get access to the filters. The topmost is plastic, which should sometimes be rinsed under water.

Philips PowerPro Duo FC 6162

The last model in our TOP-5 is an upright vacuum cleaner that can be transformed into a compact one thanks to Philips engineers who made it unfoldable. This vacuum cleaner will make cleaning easier thanks to its "vertical" ergonomics, and when necessary, it will help to clean the interior of the car with ease. With it, your back will not hurt due to the fact that during cleaning you will be in an unnatural position for the body.

Its design is pleasant, the red colour attracts even in photos on the Internet, and even more so “live”. And the layout of the elements is thought out, so it is easy to master the work with the device. The Philips FC 6162 is disassembled without difficulty, but if questions arise for the first time, the instructions clearly show what and how to do.

The model comes with a special brush, made using proprietary technology, TriActive Turbo, which in one stroke collects several times more dirt than competitive devices. The brush handles very well with pile and animal hair. The package also includes a crevice nozzle and a brush. PowerCyclonik technology and more power than previous systems in our TOP-5 models help to suck up debris. There are two power levels - normal (12 W) and maximum, both are activated using the buttons on the device. The model may seem noisy, but it does not exceed the volume of conventional vacuum cleaners.

The vacuum cleaner has a built-in 12 V Ni-MH battery, like the previous model, but its operating time is 25 minutes. The battery is charged for about 16 hours. For charging, a network cable and a special wall mount are provided, since in a vertical position you need to connect the cord at the level of the hips. Finally, the vacuum cleaner is equipped with an auto-off function to save energy when idle.

The volume of a dust collector makes 0,6 L, and the HEPA filter is used for work. After several cleaning sessions, it should be washed, but the quality of its work is higher than that of other models. It is convenient that you can empty the dust container with one touch of a button located on the case.
