Drive Clean: Discover the Best Portable Vacuum Cleaners for Your Car

★★★★★ Is a great tiny vacuum for my dorm. Strong sucking power. It’s pretty loud but it works good so it’s okay. My only complaint is it dies pretty fast and charges slow. I’m keeping it though!

★★★★★ Great suction, long charge. Worth the purchase and gets the job done.

★★★★☆ For preference, I have had an Dyson V8 cordless vacuum until recently when it died. Overall it’s a good little vacuum for quick clean ups or a quick run of the stairs. If you are looking for Dyson top detachable portion power, this is not it. Battery life last about as long as a Dyson does. The instructional manual does say to let it charge for 9 hours when you open the box before use, which does make a difference. I used it out of the box and it lasts maybe 10 minutes. Suction is good. It is not super powerful, though decent, and does its job. The brush attachment does help much more than without regarding clean up. I would purchase this product if you need quick clean ups or quick stair run through, and don’t want to use a broom all the time.

★★★★★ The media could not be loaded. I am an organic gardener in a hostile land roamed by plant devouring bugs and pests. The nemesis of every gardener here, organic or not, is the stink bug. Conventional farmers spray their crops half to death fighting this enemy while organic farmers and gardeners get creative. I purchased the Black & Decker CHV1410L 16 volt Lithium Cordless Dust Buster Hand Vac as part of my 2 part stink bug eradication strategy. So far, it works great! Early in the squash season (summer squash and zucchini are the stink bug’s favorite prey) I lift stink bug eggs from the leaves of my plants with duct tape. Inevitably however, stink bug babies emerge from the egg clusters I miss and begin killing my plants. (Rabbits could learn about rapid reproduction from the stink bug.) In defense of my helpless plants this year, I started vacuuming stink bugs from my plants every day and flushing them down the toilet. I pull hundreds of the horrible death creatures from my garden every day thanks to my Dust Buster!WHAT IS IN THE BOX: One hand held cordless Dust Buster vacuum and charging base. The vacuum operates on a lithium battery which is included.WHAT I LIKE: The battery on this hand held vacuum lasts longer than I do. I almost always give out before I burn through the battery.I can suck up lots of stink bugs before I have to empty the vacuum.Emptying the vacuum chamber is simple. The “quick” empty normally allows me to get rid of all the bugs, but when I have a stubborn batch, I can get at them from the filter side of the chamber as well.The reusable filter washes up easily under running water.I love not having to worry about a cord!!! An organic farmer friend told me he uses a shop vac to eradicate his stink bug population, but I don’t have an outlet anywhere near my garden.I love being able to leave the vacuum on the charger at all times without destroying the battery. I always have full power available.WHAT I DON’T LIKE: I really wish this vacuum exerted strong enough pressure to kill the bugs as I sucked them into it. I hate dealing with live bugs when cleaning the chamber.PICTURES: I am including pictures of the vacuum full of stink bugs as well as a shot of stink bugs in the garden.VIDEO: I am including a video demonstrating how well this hand held vacuum sucks bugs off my plants and even the debris covered ground.This is a great little vacuum. It does a great job sucking up stink bugs as they cling to leaves and straw and I can only imagine how great it would be at cleaning up stuff that doesn’t resist being sucked into it. Definitely a great purchase!

★★★★★ This is the BEST light but powerful vacuum! I've had it for 3 weeks, and I use it all the time. It's so light that it's amazing how much it picks up. The best part for me is that it picks up cat litter and cat fur. It picks up everything in the kitchen and utility room and bathroom as well. It doesn't need much room to store, and it's so easy to pick up and use! Definitely worth getting because I use it constantly. My two other vacuums are collecting dust. This one is the BEST!

★★★★☆ This handheld vacuum is a fantastic addition to any home. It has strong suction, is lightweight, and makes quick cleanups a breeze—perfect for tackling crumbs, pet hair, and small messes. Emptying the dustbin is simple. If you want a reliable, easy-to-use cordless vacuum for everyday use, this is a great choiceOne star deducted for the battery life; it needs to be improved.

★★★★★ My wife bought this vacuum for her car and I only really had opportunity to use it more than a year later. It was surprisingly good. The suction was light but when vacuuming on mostly hard / rubber surfaces in a car it worked just fine. The fit & finish of the vacuum was very good, it came with an extra couple of tools, a hose and a long cord for a 12v outlet and a nylon bag to put it all away in. Impressive.

★★★★★ This car vacuum cleaner works really well! It’s powerful enough to pick up dust, crumbs, and pet hair, yet compact and easy to handle. The design makes it convenient to store in the car, and cleaning the filter is simple. I definitely recommend it for keeping your car neat and tidy.

★★★★☆ there was not as much suction as i hoped for and it has to be plugged into the port in the car which i don’t see much in newer cars making it not useful

★★★★★ I wanted to wait to write a review until I had tested the Little Green on multiple types of stains on various fabrics/carpets, and it has not disappointed. So far, I've had 100% success cleaning up cat vomit, dog bile, and mud. These stains were cleaned off a wool throw rug, nylon/polyester blend carpet, and polyester upholstery, respectively. I used the provided Bissel Spot & Stain Febreeze solution and didn't find it to have an overwhelming scent.Pros:- It works which is the biggest thing for me! Plus, a couple of these stains, like the cat vomit one on the living room wool rug, had been there for months and nothing I tried would get it out.- The machine is relatively light to carry around and is compact to stow away when finished.- I liked that the electrical cord was very long which made it easy to use in rooms with only a few outlets.- Any animal lover will know that no matter how much vacuuming you do, there's always going to be some stray hairs left behind. I'm pleasantly surprised that the Little Green has yet to get clogged while I've been cleaning. I always wash the pieces after each use, but it seems like my Lab's hair could clog anything. But, not Little Green!Cons:- I wish I could remove the hose completely to clean it, but the parts that can be removed to clean are easy to do so.- When you load up the water-solution mixture into its tub and turn it upside down to install it into the machine, it does leak a little bit. Once it's in the machine, it doesn't continue leaking but it did catch me off guard the first time I used it thinking I did something wrong.- I wish the instructions told me how best to use each of the attachments. It tells you how to install them, but I had to search online for more guidance on appropriate usage.Overall, the cons are very small things compared to the pros. Especially if you have animals (or children), I would highly recommend this little guy. I've been telling family and friends about it ever since I got mine!

★★★★★ First I will say I had planned to buy a cleaning vacuum so I could get the stains on my stairs (from my dog) out. When I seen this was on sale I figured I’d try and I’m so happy I did! First, it’s so easy to set up you could figure it out without the instructions. Being able to pick it up and move it throughout the cleaning process was made simple. It’s not too heavy and it’s fairly small for what it is so maneuvering it was a breeze. It’s very satisfying watching the stains get cleaned you can tell it’s working with the certain attachment because the color of the water changes when you move over different parts. It took me roughly 10 minutes to clean the top portion of my stairs and it got out 95% of the stains- I will go over again once it dries. Honestly, this seems better than a normal carpet cleaner because the carpet is not soaking wet and you get to control how much solution and water goes on which areas so spot cleaning is definitely easy and fast. I think I paid a reasonable amount for how great this machine is definitely worth the money spent! It seems like the only thing that could slow this down or “break” it is if you didn’t clean the attachments or water after ever use which I definitely recommend doing. I think this vacuum is very durable just based off the first cleaning! (Please don’t judge for how dirty my stairs were 🤣)

★★★★★ Great little spot and stain cleaner, 5 stars. I also like that Bissell helps support homeless pets.I have an upright room carpet shampooer for general carpet cleaning, but it is heavy, more difficult to empty, and doesn't do as good a job on heavy spots and stains as the Little Green does. After getting up any solids and excess with paper towels, this lets you scrub the problem area as needed and control how much solution you use on it with the hand held tool. Then use several extra passes to suction it almost dry. Much more convenient and easier to use on small areas than a big shampooer, unless you want to do a whole room or large area of course. It's also good for cleaning upholstery. While advertised for pets, it's just as helpful for kids' accidents as well as for spills and such on carpet or upholstery.The suction slot is across the very front edge of the attachment, so you can spray, scrub with the bristles, and/or suction separately or at the same time, depending on the angle you hold it and whether you press the spray trigger. This thing is simple to use and wonderful!The tanks are easy to remove. it's very easy to fill using the solution and water lines printed on the tank and to empty the dirty water tank into a toilet and rinse it out. Also rinse off the rubber gasket on the bottom of the dirty water tank. It even has an attachment to easily clean its own hose and internal parts. The scrubbing attachment swished clean in water. It also includes a spray crevice tool but I haven't used that one.A small bottle of the special cleaning solution for portable machines is included. The oxy formula came with mine instead of the kind shown. I also ordered a larger bottle of the pro oxy solution at the same time to have on hand. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver to attach a bracket with one included screw; not sure why that isn't done at the factory. I had to use a little pressure to screw it in but no big deal. There is one little hose clip that easily snaps on. (The machine would still work the same without those, but they help store the hose neatly.) Also the tube (like a little drinking straw) had fallen inside the clean water tank but I just slipped it back on once I figured out where it attached to part of the cap. It does need that piece to work, so check that it's attached.There is a newer boxy model that is black that was on sale for the same $99 price and also gets good reviews, but I had already ordered this green one, which is actually cuter, LOL. I wish I had bought this years ago. It's a very useful portable cleaner especially if you have kids, pets, or are clumsy.

★★★★★ I only had it for a few weeks and tried to charge it on my cell phone's cord, but it wouldn't charge. I read the q&a and realized that you have to use a lower powered cord and that got the charging light to come on, so I thought all was well.Then, an hour later, I came back and the charging light was off. The lights would no longer come on and the power button didn't work. It was aggravating and I started a return through Amazon. I unplugged it and the lights came on! It is fully charged.Apparently, you can not operate it in anyway if it is plugged in to charge. Just wanted to share as an FYI. Of course, I canceled the return.All is well over here and I love this thing!

★★★★★ This lighter works really well, there's a safety mechanism on it that prevents it from discharging at random, which is great. I love the rose color as well. It holds a charge for a loooong time too. Highly recommend using this over a traditional lighter.

★★★★★ This rechargeable lighter is a total game-changer! I picked the rose gold one and it’s just as pretty in person—sleek, modern, and way more convenient than disposable lighters.💡 What I Love:• No flame, no fuel – Just a clean electric arc that lights candles instantly. Perfect for jar candles or hard-to-reach wicks.• Rechargeable via USB – Charges quickly and holds the charge for a long time. I’ve used it multiple times and it’s still going strong.• Built-in safety switch – You have to slide the switch and press the button to activate it, so no worries about accidental sparks.• Eco-friendly – No more wasting plastic lighters or dealing with butane refills.It’s perfect for candles, grills, or even emergencies. I love that it looks elegant while being super practical—makes a great gift too!⸻Highly recommend if you’re a candle lover, a frequent camper, or just want a reliable, rechargeable lighter that won’t let you down!

★★★★★ These are quite nice. It's the second time we've bought this brand and size of pillow cover, and we're happy with the quality and color. The zipper is very smooth, and our dirty but unwashable sofa pillows now look pretty great. The covers are soft and durable, and they've made a big difference to the loop of the couch.

★★★★★ Excellent, soft pillow covers we used for our RV. Everyone loved the softness and they seemed to even have breathability.- no sweaty heads in 60-70 degree weather, cool nights. Color was beautiful, sheen not glaring and just lovely. Washed and dried before using to get any shipping preservative chemicals out and they came out beautifully. Great value, ordering two mor ein a different color.

★★★★★ I just love the pillow cases. Very soft and snuggly. Very pretty on the bed. The colors are accurate.

★★★★★ Was pleasantly surprised with the quility of this pillow! THe print is clear and the material very soft.

★★★★★ This pillow case is soft and nice to touch. My kids love it and when they are feeling big feelings they will get the pillow and it helps them unpack and express what they are feeling. It gives them helpful language and is a good regulation tool.

★★★★★ This pillow case is awesome. I keep it in the client's chair for back support, and ask them to use it when they're having difficulty labeling an emotion. Once they have it in their hands, they often continue holding it because it's so soft.OF NOTE: This is only a pillow case, so you have to buy a pillow of roughly the same size or replace the cover on a throw pillow you don't love much.

★★★★★ The sconces are beautiful, great quality and easy to assemble. I definitely recommend getting this to add a unique look to any room.

★★★★★ I adore these pieces! They look amazing with our picture on the wall and add the right amount of lighting we were looking for. They are also great value for your money. They are built nicely and sturdy, and the quality is superb!

★★★★★ They’re beautiful. I love how they remote control. They make the house look very calm and warm and inviting. They probably could put better flowers, but besides that the mason jars fell a few times and never broke very quality they don’t heat up.

★★★★★ I absolutely love mine! It brings a nice touch to my room!

★★★★★ Love this for my son’s room. Well made. Cute packaging. Lovely colors. Easy and quick to put up.

★★★★★ Very well made and beautiful!!! The colors and quality are beautiful!!

★★★★★ this pillow cover is nice with the printing clear & the colors are distinct & lovely...the fabric isn't a piled velvet but more like a soft suede-like feel to it...it is nice to the touch...just not thick like velvet some might expect...all in all, it is a lovely pillow cover...we didn't realize it was just the cover & not a finished pillow...our mistake for not reading the description more thoroughly...buyers will need to purchase an 18"x18" pillow form to use this pillow cover...

★★★★★ This was a gift, and my daughter absolutely loves it. It reminds her to check in with her feelings, and she finds it comfortable and loves the softness of it.

★★★★★ My clients use it all the time and it looks great in the room.

★★★★★ Love it! Super soft, cozy, excellent throw.. it’s beautifully and thick enough for warmth.

★★★★★ CozyBliss is a brand I’ve come to adore. I started using these a year ago. Update: they’re still just as soft, lightweight, vibrantly colored as they were a year ago. I love curling up on the couch with this throw blanket and taking a nap. It’s designed with quality, clearly, as they last.My recommendation, order the thing.

★★★★★ I think this was great value for money and all the reviews were accurate. I wanted something to protect my couch and it is doing the trick (twin size). Color to me is like a whitish beige. Or off white. I haven't washed it yet. The dogs like it. It looks lovely and feels really nice. I think this is a medium thickness. Happy with this purchase.

★★★★★ They are so cute and easy to ensemble! The mason jars are alittle smaller than I hoped but still gives off that warm cozy vibe!

★★★★★ Love the look and quality of it.. Haven’t put in the batteries and turn it on. But it’s perfect for the spot of bought it for..

★★★★★ These are easy to put together and look great on the wall. The grain on the wood is beautiful, and the lights are bright. Love them!

★★★★★ One of my favorite purchases, sets the vibe perfectly. Love love, best for smaller spaces.

★★★★★ Great product, have had for over a year

★★★★☆ I use it as a night light, its a little bright for the purpose but does make it easy to walk around at night. The different colors are fun but some of reds/oranges are pretty similar. You do have to have the remote pointed oretty specifically at the light for it to work but other than that setup and operation are easy.

★★★★★ Beautiful color and so soft. Nice thickness and perfect weight and warmth. I have not had to wash it yet, but it also hasn't been shedding either. Definitely worth the price and would buy again!

★★★★★ Soft, looks great on the foot of my bed. Perfect color. Love it!

★★★★★ Very nice throw! Colors are vibrant, texture is soft, and material weight is just right for Autumn. Well made and could be purchased as a gift.

★★★★★ I love this Ciicool White Faux Fur 8 x 10 Feet Rug! It's super soft, absolutely scrumptious to look at and run my feet over, and it makes my condo look like a super cozy Scandi dream house. The 8 x 10' is obviously too big to wash, but I just sprayed it with some Angry Ornge and vacuumed it with my Dysn animal and it worked like a charm. (Empty the chamber immediately, though, as it will fill up quickly with every vacuum.)I loved this so much, I tried to order another exactly like it...but Ciicool didn't have it in stock (so I ordered from another brand that looked the same).Sorry I'm too lazy to show you pics, but this rug is just lovely and I highly recommend it!

★★★★★ This product was perfect for my bed. The texture of the carpet was fluffy and it has a rich black texture.

★★★★☆ I've always wanted one of these so I finally bought it. I use it beside my bed, so I don't touch the cold floor with my feet. It's soft, the quality is good. It's just not as fluffy as it looks in the picture. It stays in place, it comes with double sided stickers to really hold it in place. No smell and it doesn't shed.

★★★★★ There so cute. My cat hates to be in the dark so I bought 2 for the den it’s great looks great. They don’t look like for Christmas very nice no batteries plug in . I’m getting more for hallway and bathrooms look great for get those ugly night lights these are great so happy with these

★★★★★ It was pretty & easy to assemble.

★★★★★ We have this in an office hallway, and it is a lovely nightlight for when we walk down the hall. Nicer than a traditional nightlight. And just looks pretty. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ Is a great tiny vacuum for my dorm. Strong sucking power. It’s pretty loud but it works good so it’s okay. My only complaint is it dies pretty fast and charges slow. I’m keeping it though!

★★★★★ Great suction, long charge. Worth the purchase and gets the job done.
