  why spend money to buy a vacuum cleaner when u can DIY one*?
  
  step 1: get a vacuum hose.
  step 2: connect it to ur air filter box
  step 3: start ur engine
  step 4: adjust the suction pressure by varying ur throttle control
  step 5: vacuum away!
  
  
  
  *disclaimer: try at ur own risk. author not responsible for damaged filter/engine components as a result.

  Do not go for those puny compact ones, they really suck BAD
  
  
  Instead, go for ones that the professionals use, those bigger ones

  If u got the cash , maybe u want to try the Dyson DC08 . Its quite powerful IMO , and never clogs = never lose suction . it is also very efficient in cleaning fabrics such as mats . I using the DC08 now .
  
  But one machine cost you $500 .

  i'm using black and decker now, the black and orange one.
  
  go to home fix and u will see it. i find its ok, not too bad. but use it with ur engine running for better suction. seems like car electronics appliances work better with engine on

  think because while the engine is running , the alternator on the engine also helps produce more electricity as well .

  Can say so .
  
  It performs best on fabrics such as Carpets and sofas that have fabric covers . Mattress also no problem !
  
  Also . it does not need a vacuum bag to operate , life time filters , meaning no need to change filters , just wash it . U only pay for the machine and thats it ! No extra cost (unless you talking about spare parts such as hoses etc.) . Comes with a 2 year warranty .
  
  Also , it has tools for automobile cleaning as well (sold separately) !
