eufy Cordless Handheld Car Vacuum Cleaner, HomeVac H11, Ultra-Lightweight 1.2 lb, 5500 Pa Suction Power, USB Charging, For Home Cleaning

Product Information

The HomeVac S11 Infinity is similar in size to most other vacuums of this type – with the main floorhead attached, it measures 43.3 x 10 x 9.4 inches/ 110 x 25.5 x 24cm (h x w x d). The handheld unit without any attachments weighs just 3.75 lb/1.7kg.

Fresh out of its box, the eufy Clean HomeVac H20 had just one LED (of the three) battery indicator lights alight, which saw it last for about five-or-so minutes before depleting. As such, we’d follow eufy’s advice to fully charge the car vacuum before first use. While raw power is an indication of performance, it’s through my real-world tests that I can determine how good or bad a vacuum cleaner really is. I started out with the carpet test, sprinkling a teaspoon of flour onto carpet. I used the wand and floor head to give the Eufy HomeVac H30 a single pass through the mess on Eco power.In general, the Eufy HomeVac S11 Infinity’s dust and debris collection proved decent, and, as you’d expect, it’s most effective when on max suction – we were impressed by the amount of dirt it removed from our carpets on this high suction setting. But for general everyday dust, or for hard floors, the standard mode is sufficient. The headlights effectively illuminated dark corners, resulting in a more thorough clean. For noise levels, the Clean HomeVac H20 sounds louder than it actually is such a small vacuum cleaner. In Eco mode we measured it at 68dB, while in Max it registered at 72dB. This is as expected for a vacuum cleaner, the norm for which is 70dB. Perhaps it sounds louder because of the confined space in which it’s being used. The Eufy HomeVac H30 Venture’s slim and lightweight design makes it a great choice for cleaning the inside of a car. Both attachments are useful, although we found ourselves using the 2-in-1 crevice tool most often. It isn’t the longest, mind; but thanks to its extendable brush, it works well for most situations and means you won’t need to be constantly swapping out tools, saving you time and fuss. If you need to cover a larger area, you can simply take the attachment off. The toughest test is the edge test, where I sprinkle a teaspoon of flour right up to the skirting board on carpet tiles. Using the floor head and wand on Max, there was still quite a bit of mess left behind. For those wondering if the HomeVac H20 could be stored in the car, it measures 14.37 × 3 × 2.91 inches / 36.5 × 7.6 × 7.3cm (l x w x d). In the box you’ll find a handy carry case with zip fastening, which offers plenty of room to store the vacuum cleaner and all of its accessories.

Use the extension nozzle on the 2-in-1 crevice tool to reach into the deepest corners of your sofa or under low-lying furniture. On Max mode, we measured the HomeVac H30 Venture’s noise at around 90dB, and about 85dB on Eco. The former is around the same as a hairdryer or blender, so it is quite noisy in use. However, realistically, the vacuum is likely to be in use for only for minutes at a time – sometimes seconds – so it’s far from a deal-breaker. However, this is one of the noisiest car vacs we have tested, particularly since you’ll probably be using it on Max a fair bit.Battery life is rated at a maximum of 20 minutes, but that’s on low power. Use Max mode, and you’ll get just 10 minutes with regular tools, falling to around nine minutes with the motorised tool. It isn’t a lot, but if you focus on a single job, such as cleaning up after cooking or freshening up a sofa, the battery life is good enough. It does take between 3.5 and 4 hours to recharge, so there’s quite a wait to use the H30 again after the battery has been drained. There’s been something of a resurgence in handheld vacuum cleaners, which are great at providing grab-and-go cleaning power. With the Eufy HomeVac H30, you get a choice of three models, all with slightly different attachments to suit different needs. I put the Eufy HomeVac H30 through my standard set of tests, starting off by measuring the raw performance of the cleaner in airwatts. I measured 39.74AW on Eco and 84AW on Max. That latter score is super-impressive, putting this vacuum cleaner above the Shark WV200UK and Hoover H-Handy 700.

When you’re looking for a handheld vacuum, particularly for cleaning your car, its size and weight matter. At just 16.7 x 3.5 x 2.9 inches / 42.5 x 9 x 7.3 cm, the HomeVac H30 Venture is ideal for getting into the hard-to-reach areas, particularly since it’s so much slimmer than some rival models. At 1.78lb/808g, it’s lightweight enough for you to vacuum the whole car without issue, too.When you pull the vacuum cleaner out, there’s a single button on the front to turn it on and off, and a slider to move between Eco and Max modes. Between the two controls are three LEDs that light up to indicate the level of power remaining. The Clean HomeVac H20 comes with an in-car charger, which is handy if this cleaner will live in the car and will be used only for cleaning in the car. However, those with pets and children in the home will likely find this cleaner useful to keep and charge in the home. This means you’ll have to hunt down a USB-A port to use with the included charging cable.
