BASEUS A2 Car Vacuum Cleaner (CRXCQA2-02)

Compact but noisy model

The well-known Chinese company Baseus has a reputation among geeks as a manufacturer of high-quality and affordable accessories related to charging modern electronic gadgets. The BASEUS A2 Car Vacuum Cleaner car vacuum cleaner with its cylindrical shape looks like perhaps the most popular product of the Chinese industry since the time of friendship of great peoples — the famous thermos. Despite the miniature dimensions of 25.3x6x6 cm and the plastic case, the machine came out quite weighty (0.81 kg). Apparently, the reason for this was the sum of the 70 W electric motor and the built-in battery with a charge reserve of 21.6 W * h, which is enough for 18 minutes of operation. To be fair, the motor is surprisingly noisy. And the matter is not even in the claimed value of the noise level of 75 dB, but in a very unpleasant high-pitched sound emitted by a rotor rotating at a speed of 44,000 rpm.

Battery charging via Type-C port

The cyclone system of the dust collector implemented in the design, in cooperation with the electric motor, provides a high suction force of at least 5000 Pa. A small working chamber of the dust collector is made of translucent plastic and is covered with a transparent polycarbonate cover in the stowed state. A removable HEPA fine filter is installed inside the chamber. It is quite obvious that the tiny volume of the dust container (60 mL) will require frequent cleaning, which is a minus of the model. Since the device has a built-in battery and is not tied to the car's on-board power supply, it can be used not only to clean the car, but also as a portable household vacuum cleaner in the house, which expands its scope. Another plus is the presence of the current Type-C USB charging port (5 V / 2.4 A), which allows you to replenish the battery capacity in just 3.5 hours.

Suction and blow work

The body of the device is made of durable ABS plastic with a single slide power switch equipped with a dot LED indicator. Unfortunately, such an indication only shows the operating status of the vacuum cleaner, but does not indicate the degree of charge of the battery. The model is completed with a charging cable, a cloth cover and 2 types of nozzles. A universal nozzle with a retractable brush is installed in the opening of the dust collector, and the second nozzle with a corrugated hose and a narrow tip is inserted into the opening of the outlet pipe and provides the blowing mode of the vacuum cleaner. This functionality is perfect for cleaning the computer system unit from dust. And finally, a nice bonus that will not go unnoticed by aesthetes. The model is available in 3 colours: white, black and green.
