Black & Decker PAD1200 Flex Auto Vacuum

Poor Vac
Although this "auto" Flex Vacuum may look pretty cool and would seem to have great ratings, it doesn't. This model has great intentions but has absolute POOR suction and performance. It has little to no vacuum suction. When I turned it on for the first time in my car, I didn't know if I was using it right. But I was. This has very low suction and can't really suck up a simple penny. The quality of the vacuum is below average yet it has a great portable design, but after all the suction is important too. DONT BUY THIS MODEL! I'm returning it ASAP and getting a refund. The Black & Decker Auto Flex Car Vacuum should be valued no more then $20. Again, great design, but POOR performance. Plus, the storage bag it came with was made from Cheap material that a tent is made from. Easy to tear and very cheap.

Meets Expectations
At first i was hesitant on purchasing this item, assuming it would not have enough suction.
Well i'm happy to say this product does have enough power to clean up my car, and actually pulled more dirt then i expected it to.
Since this item doesn't have a bag to replace, opening it up you can actual see the dirt and dust it pulls from inside your car.
The cord is long enough to clean any size car/suv/truck.
Not sure why people think this would be good for vacuuming alot of pet hair quickly, go by a full size shop vac.
Also if you clean your car twice a year this probable isn't the item for you.

I've been using this item for over a month.

pretty good
This vacuum is pretty decent i dont understand the negative reviews its small, lightweight, reaches hard to get areas and just looks diffrent. I like the flip up brush on the attachment which lets me dust and detail my car. It does pick up pennies and dimes unlike some reviewer said. As with every car vac the suction could be better but it does the job. Would've been 5 stars but just ok suction. I cant beleive not one vacuum company can make a strong suction car vac This would have been the best vacuum ever if it did. I love the long reach hose and tool i dont have to bend down at all or look like i'm cleaning my car ( "what is he doing" people be noisy) . It does need one more attachment though like a hard brush for stuck on leaves and stems on my car mats other than that i say buy it, unless you know of a better vac, this design made me buy it
