Car vac

[bagmagtag]

I'm thinking of getting a car vac for Christmas and they all seem to run on a 12 v cig lighter. Will this work in the port next to the gearstick it states 1080w so should do but don't won't to chance it. Car is a GP mjet 1.9

Thanks for any info

should do but im not keen on them coz they drain the battery quite badly, i know people who have used them and hand to jump the car afterwards

They are usually next to useless (in all honesty)

the GP has a 20A fuse so will run one no problem

you'd be best getting a mains one (providing you can run an extension lead to the car)

I got one of these (although branded by LIDL) IIRC i paid about £40

not a bad machine for the price although the hoover bags are about £10 for 5 (but if your careful you can reuse them)

As if by coincidence Lidl are getting the vac's in next week (saw the flier outside the store) not on their website yet...

that lidl vac looks like a good buy....as said a car vac is next to useless, they just don't suck, well they do in a bad way....sorry about the pun....ive been supplied with vacs from my daughter for years, she seems to buy one when she thinks its time for a change & i get the one she no longer wants

i have a cig lighter vac which i use to get in the nooks and crannies, and then use the old dyson (useless piece of junk) for everything else.

I've had a few car vacs over the years and always found them to be ruddy useless, they just make a loud noise and do nothing. I always find myself selling them and using the house one.

Be careful though of your battery, it will easily drain it up. Make sure to check other available alternatives.

I just use my dyson XD
Could use a beater bar though, stupid bits in the carpet ¬_¬
