JONYJ Handheld Car Vacuum

Yes, for small messes. The JONYJ LT-154 pulls up crumbs, dust, spilled litter and the grit that builds up in car footwells, so a quick job doesn't mean dragging out a full-size machine. It's a handheld with a 0.2 L bin, though, so it suits the car and the odd spill indoors, not whole rooms.

Quite a lot for its size. The JONYJ comes with a range of nozzles, and the airflow reverses so it blows as well as sucks. Blow mode gets used to clear keyboards, puff dust off shelves and push crumbs out of fabric seams. The maker also says it inflates air mattresses and pool floats and compresses storage bags.

Yes. The bin swings open at the front on a hinge, so the dirt tips straight out, and the HEPA filter can be washed. There's a spare filter in the box, which matters, because a washed filter has to dry fully before it goes back in. Fit the spare and the JONYJ stays usable while the first one dries.

It varies. JONYJ rates it at up to 30 minutes, but continuous runtime per charge comes in anywhere from about 10 to 30 minutes, and the first full charge takes about 3 hours. Used in short bursts on the car seats and mats, the LT-154 stretches one charge across a good number of cleanups.

Yes. At 1 lb the JONYJ is compact and light, so it's easy to hold one-handed for a full pass over the seats and mats without your wrist tiring. The small body also fits the gap beside the seats and the door pockets, and it stores in a glovebox or the trunk between uses.
