Chasing the most powerful car vacuum? If you want brute force, a mains-powered wet/dry shop vac with a narrow crevice tool will out-suck any 12V plug-in toy.
For cordless convenience, look for at least 100+ air watts, around 20–25 kPa suction and a HEPA filter—think top-tier sticks with a car kit or an 18V/36V tool-brand vac.
12V “car vacs” are handy for crumbs, but they’re about as fierce as a Labrador on a rest day.
Whichever you buy, use a soft brush on vents, a long crevice tool for the console, and finish with a rubber pet-hair brush so the seats don’t fight back.
Short version: power = mains, convenience = high-spec cordless; your sanity = the right attachments.
