No list of the best vacuum cleaners is complete without at least one Dyson, and the V7 Trigger is an excellent example of their innovative and quality products. From the 15 cyclones that give you 100 air watts’ suction to the washable lifetime filter, this vacuum cleaner offers excellent cleaning properties for your car.

This hoover boasts 30 minutes of use, dependant on how eager you are with the “max” boost mode, which generates even more suction power. This machine, together with the attachments it comes with, is great for ensuring your car is a mess-free zone.

The major benefit of this vacuum is that it has the power – 550 watts – that most corded or plug-in models lack because it is mains-powered. This model is designed specifically to remove stubborn pet hair and its turbo tool grabs every last pet (and human!) hair to leave your car spotless.

The Hoover name is synonymous with vacuuming and the brand has a range of handheld cleaners in its Jovis Plus range, ranging from plug-ins to cordless models and more. However, for the many pet-owning drivers, this model serves best for de-fuzzing your car.

This lightweight (just 1.49 kg), compact car vacuum features a long 5 m long cable and 1.5 m flexible hose, allowing you to reach through even a large seven-seater with ease. Powered through the car's lighter socket, this is an essential tool for keeping on top of the debris that magically seems to appear in the car.

The clear sides allow you to keep an eye on how full the 560 ml-capacity dust container gets and the dust bowl can be swiftly emptied using its easy-eject feature. While not as powerful as many of the corded models, this vacuum offers convenience and ease of use for busy drivers.

The nose pivots at 10 set angles and it comes with a built-in extendable crevice tool to ensure that you can really get into those hard-to-reach places. This is a great option for stowing in the boot to clean up messes on the go, or to sneak in a quick hoover when you find you have a few minutes waiting in your car.

This lightweight handheld vacuum is ideal for cleaning your car. Combining the convenience of a cordless vacuum with great suction and a generous runtime of 20 minutes, the Gtech Multi MK2 will get those crumbs caught and your upholstery ship-shape in no time.

This sleek, stylish car vacuum cleaner is probably one of the most attractive cleaners on this list. Featuring a wand-style shape, it is the lightest in the lineup at just 0.6 kg. Somewhat unusually for a handheld vacuum cleaner, it comes with a HEPA filter. 

This filter makes it a good cleaner for allergy sufferers, and, combined with the crevice and pet tools that come included, your car will be squeaky clean. However, this is best suited as a touch-up cleaner as its runtime is just 8 minutes and its dust bowl capacity is 250 ml – the smallest we found. 

This modest 10.8V cordless vacuum cleaner comes with all the tools you need to keep your car crumb-free and clean. Its 300 ml dust bowl boasts proprietary technology designed to make it quicker, cleaner and more convenient to empty without any mess.

This is one of the lighter handheld vacuums on our list, good for getting into corners with the included crevice tool. But it doesn't hold charge well and the crevice tool is the only included attachment.
