So I was at the local hardware store and spotted a Shark Navigator Car Vac on clearance for $40 (normally $80+). I've been using my shop vac for car interiors, but it's bulky and a pain to lug around. Anyone have experience with these handheld car vacs? Is it worth grabbing, or should I stick with the shop vac?

OMG $40 is a steal! I've had the Shark Navigator for like 2 years now and it's my go-to for car cleanups. The suction is surprisingly strong for a handheld, and it comes with a bunch of attachments that get into tight crevices. Plus it's corded, so no battery worries. I say go for it! I use mine all the time after beach trips with the kids - sand everywhere, but this thing handles it like a champ.

I second that. I've got the same one for the garage and truck. My old shop vac is still for the big messes, but the Shark is perfect for quick touch-ups and getting between seats. At $40, it's a no-brainer. Even if you don't use it often, it pays for itself in convenience. Pull the trigger!

Thanks for the replies! I was hesitant because I thought it might be underpowered, but sounds like it's worth it. I'll grab it today. Appreciate the input!
