Armor All AA255 2 HP - CAR Vacuum REVIEW!
What We Loved
Attachment variety & compatibility
we were really impressed with how well thought out the armor all's attachment set is
Cord management
its hose management was better than average because of the built-in accessory and hose storage
Crevice‑cleaning effectiveness
the super small detail brush is a real game changer when it comes to reaching hard to clean cracks and crevices in cars
Liquid/spill pickup (wet-dry models)
it can be used as a wet vacuum for water related tasks
Maneuverability & swivel steering
The Armor All has not one but two hose swivels one at the handle end and one at the base end
Onboard tool storage
it also has convenient onboard accessory and hose storage so you can keep all your attachments with the vacuum
Suction power (air watts)
it performed well in our pickup tests
Value-for-money
it's one of the cheapest car vacuums out there but it's also one of the best so it's got a lot of value
Weight
its size and weight were both well below average
Just Okay
Noise level
scored about average for noise level compared to the other car vacuums we tested
Power-cord length & auto-retract (corded)
its cord length is 10 feet which is about 2 feet below average
Needs Improvement
Filtration quality (HEPA rating, multi-stage)
it failed the filtration test
