It doesn’t have a massive dustbin, though the 7-ounce capacity is similar to the Dyson Humdinger ($250), our favorite handheld vacuum. I found it to be plenty of space as I vacuumed up the entirety of my four-seater sedan—trunk and carseat included—though it likely wouldn’t be enough space if you were cleaning something more intense than a dirty car. The Worx should get about 10 minutes on the high-speed setting and about 25 minutes on the low-speed setting. I usually vacuum on the low speed, though I rarely run the vacuum for more than 10 consecutive minutes.
This little cube is also plenty small enough to stash anywhere in your garage or hall closet without being a burden. I’m stashing mine on the tool shelf in our garage. The battery clips on and off and looks like the base for a drill, and it comes with a little charging base to charge it. You should charge it after use since it’s so small, unless you’re certain you vacuum your car in a handful of minutes. The battery isn’t designed for extreme weather, so while I could throw it in my trunk during spring here in sunny San Diego, it’s best used at a normal room (or garage) temperature.
Fun Size
Small things bring me joy, and I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that way. There are articles and videos and Reddit threads dedicated to exploring why we love miniature items. While this cube vacuum isn’t so small that it could be a dollhouse vacuum, the petite take on what could have been a massive shop vacuum still satisfies that part of my brain that wants things around me to be cute and small.
Much in the way tiny things make our brains feel in control and organized, vacuuming my car brings me that sense of satisfaction and power over one of the messy aspects of my life. Getting to do it with a fun little tool only adds to the serotonin boost of what would otherwise feel like a monotonous task. It also offers some of the escapism my little Lego sets once offered me, though instead of a made-up universe, it’s a life where everything is as clean and organized as the vacuum lines in my car trunk.
This little cube vacuum might not have the most accessories, the biggest dustbin, or the longest running time, but it’s a nice in-between of all these features and a good size for the art of car vacuuming. Because for some of us, it is an art, or at least an escape from the cycle of messes that plague our lives.
