THISWORX Car Vacuum Cleaner v1

I'm writing this review in hopes that you (vacuum shopper) find my experience helpful in making your purchase decision. Clearly I purchased because I was convinced by the number of good reviews and discarded the bad reviews because the majority of those sounded like they were "one off" scenarios or just angry people that like leaving bad reviews no matter what. To be totally transparent, I'm not mad with this company and I hope that they sell a million more vacuums but my fellow review reader consider my two cent review before you decide to be one in that million. The good: 1. I love the idea of being able to take and transfer this portable, storable vacuum between the multiple vehicles that I use on a daily basis. 2. It comes with plenty of practical accessories and an extra filter 3. The chord is long. This is useful for those that may not have a convenience outlet in the rear of your vehicle 4. The price...I almost purchased two The bad: 1. Very poor suction (this has a snowball effect on the other negatives) 2. I would frequently stop to clean the filter in hopes of creating better suction 3. Meh on rubber mats and hard surfaces 4. Prepare to spend a lot of effort trying to clean any upholstered surface (you will be mad if it's warm outside while you're trying to do this) 5. Because of the weak motor, I feel that you wind up using the vacuum for longer intervals. I'm no engineer but I know that this will undoubtedly have a near future detriment to this vacuums longevity. 6. Be mindful of the heat generated by the power adaptor! The longer you use the hotter it will get. This might be obvious to some of us but others may have never considered this point. 7. Of the 3 hose variations, the widest cleaning surface measures a mere 1 3/8" give or take. This also contributes to the amount of time you will spend cleaning your vehicle. 8. The brush attachment is wearing down already and I like that one the best?! Maybe there are limitations to what this product can deliver because its 12v and not battery or commercially powered? Be prepared to be underwhelmed by its performance. Here's how I'll put it to you so that maybe it'll be clear: A big floor fan, a desktop fan, that little battery operated fan (not even the kind attached to a water bottle)...obviously the latter is what we're dealing with. Even with a generous 3 stars, I personally will keep using this vacuum because I realize at best it should be considered as a spot cleaner at best! Do not be deceived (not that they are trying to) to believe that this product is an effective full car detailing tool. Hopefully my relatively inexpensive lesson helps you in your quest. Thanks for reading my very first Amazon review, good luck and happy shopping to you. Semper Fi
