Default Car Vacuum Cleaner

Hi Guys
Does any of you know where can one buy a car vacuum cleaner in Delhi? Are there any big and reputed auto accessory shops in or around?

why dont you use your regular vacuum cleaner in your car?car vacuum cleaners are generally weak and dont clean properly.

I normally use the heavy duty home vacuum cleaner (boy, it's been a while!) to clean up, but the wiring and the lugging around can be a nuisance.

It does make sense to have a good portable handy as well. I'd check eBay and Indiatimes shopping to begin with and visit the local car accessories store as well to find one. The Black & Decker cordless vacuum cleaner is a nifty tool - try to find something like it.

The small portable vaccum cleaners are good only for a cursory, on the surface sort of cleaning. They are a handy tool to have lying around to do a quick 'sweep' of the interiors.

However, only a powerful machine will be capable of really doing justice by removing the small grains of sand embedded in carpets and the dust in the carpets/upholstery.

So I guess the ideal answer is, use both!

I guess Ritik is talking about a domestic Vacuum cleaner rather that the portable one commonly used for car interior cleaning...

I too use a B&D model picked from abroad a long while back. I remember seeing a few pieces in Europe recently costing 40-50 Euros with 20 minutes battery autonomy.

Saw a few car vacuum brands on shopping.rediff.com. Saw the black & decker too

car vacuum , Car Vacuum Cleaner With High Power Supply gifts in india at rediff shopping

Are all such car cleaners equally bad on performance??

Its a pain to carry a big vaccum cleaner all around the car..
