Well, any vacuum that you can get in the car and work with in the car will work, really... But if your question is about whether or not you can plug the vacuum into the household outlet in the dash and run it off of that, then it won't work, because it just draws too much power. This was one of the things I wanted to use my household outlet for, but unfortunately, it doesn't work.
I like to use a shop-vac on car interiors. It can suck most of the sand and fine dirt out of the carpets and the attachments help to clean out the hard-to-reach places. LOTS of power from a shop-vac!

I have to go to my parents house to use their powerful shop vacuumm that my daughter like throw Kix cereal over place in Vibe. Took me about fifteen mintues complete clean from front to rear. No more cereal in Vibe for while....
I bought a small vac at Home Depot a few weeks ago, but you can only use it for about 20 minutes at a time. The motor gets so hot that is goes into thermal shutdown! But while it works, it works well....now the Vibe is clean, so it shouldn't need 20 minutes worth of vacumming.

The best vacuum that I have used is my home vacuum, a Dyson. With three short hair dogs I had to have something better that a Shop Vac or a Hoover Wind Tunnel. I have cleaned both my vehicles with all three vacuums and the Dyson wins hands down. Only downfall it the price, at least $400.
That reminds me, my mom's Filter Queen vacuum used to do a pretty good job too. But that thing was way too expensive to suggest that someone buy one just for cleaning the car.

I would recommend the one I have.those corded shark vaccuums suck! sorry, couldn't resist and when i saw that nobody has taken advantage of using the line, i just had to!
I have signatures turned off so I'm not even sure what mine says in this space!
I'd just buy a small shop vac. Not to small though, I bought a really small one ( Black & Decker) and it isn't very powerful. It hardly even picks up small gravel off the carpet that you get from your shoes. I have to invest in a better one.
Yup - I'm going to chime in here and vote for good 'ol Shop Vac's too.I've got one of the small ones, a real Shop Vac branded 5 gal one - and it works perfectly - very powerful, and you can get all the attachments you like to work the way you want to.
