this vacuum just about perfectly fit the need for my car . it be small , power by a outlet -lrb- not battery -rrb- , have a bag and get most spot really well in my car . the only downside and the reason for a 4\/5 star rating be the limited suction and difficulty get the hard to reach area like at the base of the seat . it may take a little longer but I can get the same quality cleaning without pay $ 1 at a car wash . I also do not have to drag a vacuum and extension coord out of the house . I recommend it !
