Hmm, I just use a Miele Cat and Dog vacuum for the cars. Have not found a better vacuum cleaner. I nicked that one from the house when Mrs PVR had broken the power plug, got a new one for the house and repaired the broken one for the garage.

I'm sure it's good, but for $190 you could get a decent domestic or garage vacuum that will do the job way better.

All the supposed car vacuums I've ever used have turned out to be underpowered or puny little vacuum bags.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Ha - we think alike - I purchased Mr CJ a new Dyson and stole the Panasonic for the garage. I t did come with a great range of tools bruches, narrow pipes, etc. and now resides in the garage
