Baseus Car Vacuum Cleaner, 15kPa Handheld Vacuum Cordless 135W Portable Small Mini Rechargeable Hand Vacuum with Type-C Fast Charging and LED Light for Car, Home, Kitchen - A3

It's not unusual that when someone creates a great product that its success spawns a number of derivative products. Recently I have noticed a number of handheld vacuums with cylindrical shapes in their bodies, each claiming greatness. I became interested because there must be something to this new design, but who do you trust? I studied the items in the category and compared their features. A few stood out above the others, but again, who? Only one was from a company I have been familiar with for some time: Baseus! I have purchased a number of Baseus' products and have had nothing but great experiences with them all. I ordered the 135W Baseus A3 Car Vacuum, model CRXCQA3.The vacuum arrived in a very tidy package. It was a box with two more boxes inside filling the entire space. One box contained the vacuum itself. The other contained a nice drawstring bag that can store everything. Everything includes the vacuum, of course, a USB charge cord and two extremely clever attachments. One thing that immediately impressed me is how sleek the vacuum looks. It's a perfect cylinder with spherical ends. It appears very industrial and handsome. A lot of thought obviously went into the design. It's 11-1/2" long and 2-1/4" in diameter and weighs just over a pound and a half. The majority is metal and overall it feels very sturdy in my hand. A section of the tube near one end is 2-5/8" long and is a very clear plastic. This is the dustbin. Inside this the powerful motor is protected by two conical filters. The first, a pre-filter, is an extremely fine metal mesh. Inside of it is a HEPA filter. Both are washable. Also inside of this section is a special feature I find really helpful: a flashlight! Even in daylight or a well lighted garage it is still difficult to see the floor and around and under the seats of an automobile. This light is one of the vacuum's superpowers. How thoughtful!Continuing with the clever design are the attachments. Baseus stepped it up to design attachments to work with something this sleek and compact. The spherical vacuuming end is a solid chromed metal cap with a "fish mouth" inlet. This end cap screws off for emptying the bin and, when necessary, cleaning the filters. With the pressing of a button, the vacuum has two selective speeds and draws extremely well on both. Baseus cleverly designed an attachment that slips firmly into the vacuum's "mouth" and provides both a 5" extension wand and a brush head. Normally the brush is slid about half way back the wand and latches into place. When it needs to come into action a simple press on its latch allows it to be slid forward into its working position and it securely latches into place there. Voila! Two devices in one very compact design.The other attachment really delights me in another way. Every vacuum must to have an exhaust capability equal to the volumetric capacity of the vacuum. The end cap opposite the chromed inlet end contains the exhaust port. It is round and about the size of a quarter dollar coin. Baseus designed a wand that fits into this port. The wand quickly tapers down to a shape similar to a USB type-C port, but about four times the size. Not only do you have a vacuum, you also have a very nice portable blower. I have found that to be very handy too!The vacuum has a USB type-C port for charging. The provided charge cable will connect the vacuum to almost any USB charger we all seem to have accumulated in recent years. The charger should have the extremely common USB type-A port. A 2.1A tablet charger will charge more quickly than a 1A phone charger. The vacuum also supports the increasingly common QC3.0 quick charging protocol. Depending on the charger you use, three to five hours will have the vacuum at full charge again. There are three tiny recessed LEDs on the body of the vacuum just above the power switch that indicate the current charge level when it is operating.I have obviously been extremely pleased with this Baseus vacuum, and I haven't even mentioned its 15,000Pa capability. The U.S. has never officially adopted the Metric system; therefore, we don't typically express pressures in Pascals. We have stuck to "psi," pounds per square inch. Here's a help. One Pascal exudes approximately the pressure of a dollar bill lying flat on a surface. Imagine a tall stack of 15,000 dollar bills. In the concentrations this device operates, that is quite substantial for this sturdy handheld unit. I mostly keep mine in the car and use it regularly to keep things tidy. When it is out of the car it's usually because I needed a blower.

I’m very disappointed as I bought this vacuum brand new and when I was opening it I noticed the vacuum was completed scratched up which I thought was strange as it was brand new. I then started to take apart the filter just to make sure I knew how to do it and it was completely full of dust and dirt like it has been used for a month and returned.. The battery was also completely dead. Looks like someone used it for 28 days and returned it right before the return policy and I got stuck with a used vacuum. I received the item the day before my recycling day so I recycled the box and now I’m stuck with a used vacuum since I can’t return it after I recycled the box. Very disappointing.EDIT:I’m changing this from a 1 star to a 5 star review. After posting my above 1 star rating customer support reached out to me to try and make things right. The customer support was extremely nice and supporting and are sending a new replacement vacuum almost no questions asked. It seems like Amazon must have received an old return and didn’t do a thorough enough inspection and sent it to me as new when it wasn’t easily one month used. Baseus ended up sending me a new unit outside of Amazon (messaged me separately) which I really appreciated. The actual vacuum itself is the perfect size for a portable car vacuum and I’m just going to leave it in the trunk, suction is very good. After the great customer service I’ll recommend this to friends.

Don't waste your money buying this item. Purchased in March 2023. After approximately 4 months it is failing. Start vacuum, runs for 10 - 40 secs., shuts itself off, must be restarted. This company should step up to its poor quality and refund this item. There is no expectation that a replacement would be any better.Update. Customer service replied promptly. Great response. Cleaned filter more thoroughly than usual per their advice. Function completely restored.

UPDATE: The seller contacted me and tried intimidated me into removing my honest review in exchange for money. I now suspect that most positive reviews for this item are either fake or paid for which is sad because had I seen an honest genuine review while I was doing my research I'd have not bought this item. This is an ongoing issue with Amazon reviews........It looked decent in the photos, the suction power advertized and the blower attachment seemed great but that's only half the story.1. The filters seems to be designed for a micro/miniature vacuum unrealistic and insufficient for a unit this size and suction power. As others mentioned, it clogs very quickly which reduced suction and requires constant cleaning /washing.2. As with the filter, the basket holding dirt is very tiny and requires constant emptying.3. The wand that attaches to the unit is presumably designed to clean crevices or hard to reach areas but a. It's quite short and b. The design is completely flawed and not practical, the brush sliding up and down is a novel concept but that means the wand can't really fit into any tight areas which defeats its purpose.4. The base is quite fat and heavy this not comfortable to hold longer than a few seconds - it's simply not designed well ergonomically.The following is not a complain on the unit quality itself but at this price it would've been nice to if they included a little extra attachments to make it useful in inflating little toys, balls or etc with air, an extra filter or perhaps at least a pouch to hold the accessories .Overall I expected more at a price nearly double of similar quality vacuums.

I bought this hoover with great expectations, but unfortunately it didn't delivery due to the battery running out too quick, the dust bin filling up too quick, etc.I'm adding 5 stars because when I reached out to customer service, they were extremely helpful and provided a refund to me.

Good solid product but suction of cheaper model of another brand is stronger where both advertised with same power

The product seemed to work for a couple of months then I noticed that the battery would not recharge at all despite the charging light coming on. I tried charging for 12 hours today but zero charge.

This vacuum will pick up the stuff in tight spots and if you have any problems the service is second to none they solved my problem in a very professional way I will deal with them again Paul

Does not work very well it has about half the suction I would have expected And it was expensive compared with others
