I'm thinking about getting a handheld vacuum cleaner for the car. Has anyone used this one ?

Not sure what yo0u expect for £20. I had a 12v one that worked off the car battery. Absolutely useless. Far better to save your £20 and buy and extension lead so you can get your ordinary vacuum to the car.

Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

I bought one before at £13.

Not much suck so I brush the dirt so it is loose then its ok for a quick clean up in the car.

Know the difference between what you WANT and what you NEED. :T
