The brand’s $280 handheld vacuum has a near 1-hour runtime — something you typically don’t find with handheld appliances.
Long runtime: This is the most notable feature of the Car+Boat.
High-speed motor: The speed of a vacuum motor is what gives it the power to lift dirt, hair and other debris, particularly from surfaces like carpet and upholstery, which cling to debris more than hardwood or tile. It's typically measured by "revolutions per minute" or RPM. The Car+Boat's motor has 110,000 RPM, while the Humdinger has 105,000 RPM. For context, the RPM of Dyson's V11 Cordless Vacuum is 125,000.
Thorough filtration: Whether handheld, cordless or upright, the Car+Boat has a filter to pick up small debris, including allergens, pet dander and dust mites.
The Car+Boat comes with a small motorized brush bar, a slender crevice tool and a combination brush tool to pivot between different surfaces. ~ I'm a commerce editor for NBC Select, where I regularly report on cleaning appliances as well as vacuum sales throughout the year, including major events like Prime Day and Black Friday.
