Ranked #4 in Best Cordless Car Vacuums

BLACK+DECKER DustBuster CHV1410L

3.8

2 sources1 derived$49.99as of Aug 1

Cheap, light, with a big bin and a built-in crevice tool that car owners love for quick cleanups, the Black+Decker DustBuster CHV1410L is the budget, popular pick. Owner ratings run strong, though independent labs scored it low on suction and runtime. Light, occasional tidying is where it earns its money; for serious pet hair or deep cleaning, step up to the DustBuster Ion or the Shark.

Strengths

— Inexpensive and backed by Black+Decker's long DustBuster track record
— Large 605 ml dustbin holds plenty before emptying
— Light at about 2.6 lb and comfortable to carry one-handed

Watch-outs

— Scored poorly in lab testing on suction and pet-hair pickup
— Short runtime, only around 10-11 minutes per charge
— Slow four-hour recharge time

Higher ratedRanked #3 in Best Cordless Car Vacuums

Worx WX030L 20V

4.3

1 sourceall derived$89.99as of Aug 1

Want a swappable-battery handheld with a hose that reaches deep into car crevices? That is the Worx WX030L. Its cube body parks on a seat while the 3-foot hose works the footwells, suction is strong for the size, and the PowerShare battery is shared across Worx tools. Runtime is short and the format takes getting used to, though for detailing tight spaces nothing else is as handy.

Strengths

— Cube-and-hose design lets you park the body and snake the hose into tight crevices
— Runs on the 20V PowerShare platform, so batteries swap with other Worx tools
— Surprisingly strong suction for a compact handheld, with high and low modes

Watch-outs

— Short high-power runtime, around 10-12 minutes
— Two-handed cube-and-hose operation is less intuitive than a wand vacuum
— Small dirt capacity at about 7 oz

Derived means the reviewer published no score, so one was inferred from their written verdict. Everything else is a number the publisher printed. How we rank.

How they stack up

BLACK+DECKER DustBuster CHV1410L

The budget, popular choice. It undercuts the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ (CH951), Dyson Car+Boat and Worx WX030L on price and matches the Black+Decker DustBuster Ion (HHVI315JO42) on cost, but it scored well below the Ion in lab testing on suction and runtime, making the Ion the better value at a similar price.

Worx WX030L 20V

The cube-and-hose specialist. Its 3-foot hose reaches deeper into car crevices than the rigid wands of the Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ (CH951), Dyson Car+Boat or Black+Decker DustBuster Ion (HHVI315JO42), and its swappable PowerShare battery is a platform advantage none of them offer, though its suction trails the Shark and Dyson and its runtime is short like the Black+Decker DustBuster CHV1410L.
