I buy this vacuum to replace my aging oreck auto XL vacuum . the black and decker have comparable suction but it be much more versatile due to the adjustable neck and extender crevice tool . it come with lot of accessory , but I find that I do not even need to use any of they when I give my car the once over . I could not be happier , oh , and it be worth more than the $ 40 buck I spend on it . please note , it may take a few pass over a spot to get everything , but it meet my expectation for a 12 volt vacuum . : - -rrb-
