Anyone tried the new Harbor Freight handheld vac? $45 seems too good to be true.

Found this article about Harbor Freight's new $45 handheld vacuum for car interiors. Sounds promising but skeptical at that price. What do you guys think? https://example.com/harbor-freight-vac

HF stuff is hit or miss. For $45 it's probably fine for quick crumb pickup but don't expect it to replace a real shop vac. I'd wait for a coupon or check reviews first.

I got one last week actually. It's no Dyson but for the price it's pretty handy. Suction is decent for pet hair and french fries. Battery lasts about 15 min. Not bad for a beater vac you can leave in the trunk.

Bought it, returned it same day. The filter is cheap and clogged instantly. Plus the attachments are flimsy. Spend a bit more and get a Rigid or even a used Dyson. Just my 2 cents.

Fair point Felix. I've had good luck with HF's stuff but I'm not a pro detailer. For a quick weekend vac it works for me. Different strokes.
