The Auxtur HL-121 is a powerful, miniaturized vacuum trying to find a place somewhere between a stick vacuum and a dust-pan-and-broom. It excels in small jobs and tight places. I’m talking about cleaning crumbs out of kitchen drawers, sofa cushions, car seats and computer keyboards, sweeping spilled cat litter by the edge of the box, or sucking up spiders and bugs from scary, dark corners. Where it falls short is on a large surfaces, picking up matted-in hair from a carpet, and jobs that take longer than its 30-min battery life. This is optimized for the quick-pick-up in the car, kitchen or workshop.The HEPA filter is fine enough that I can vacuum up the ash around my wood-burning stove, and it doesn’t exhaust dust everywhere. It has enough power to suck up coins with ease. And taking it out to the car, it proved itself capable in cleaning the cup holders, door pockets and upholstery. Cleaning the filter is as easy as stepping outside and using the exhaust to blow it out. And replacement filters are available for less than $15 for 3 filters.It comes with an adapter for deflating storage bags, like for packing away the down comforter in the spring. And it also serves double-duty as an inflater for yoga balls (filled my 20″ yoga ball in about 60 second), pool floats and what not.For the controls, I wish there were two buttons, one for turning on/off and another for setting low/med/high. Having to hold 3 seconds to turn it on, and press multiple times to turn it off gets tedious. I do like that there’s a battery level indicator. The noise level varies from annoying to painful to hearing-loss, but no different than any vacuum.Battery performance: Time to fully charge from empty is about 5 hours. I’m guessing it’s three x 2500mAH Li ion NMC batteries. Battery life when vacuuming seems about 30-40 minutes on the low setting (I did not rigorously test this).

So Handy!
I don’t have a car, which this vacuum is more or less billed as its main use. I’ve used this around my apartment in various rooms. First: out of the box you can tell it’s well built, and good quality. It’s heavy enough to know it won’t fall apart anytime soon, but light enough to not be cumbersome. You get enough attachments to get basically anywhere, so the functionality is there, and you can fit this into tighter spaces than you would with a regular, larger vacuum. I’ve been using it on upholstery, getting into the spaces between cushions, etc. I also use it in cabinets and drawers in the kitchen. It fit so good, getting into corners, and removing any dust or whatnot that had accumulated. You’d be surprised. Or maybe not. The suction is much better than you might expect. I’m very impressed. It’s so easy to use, and I’d say it is a very good value at this price point. I’d definitely recommend this brand and model.

It’s okay
I got this to help with cleaning out my car as I do a lot of ride share driving. As a result, I get a lot of dirt and sand on the floorboards in the back seat area of my Subaru Outback. For a portable handheld vacuum I expected a bit more power than what I have seen. I always use it at the highest setting for vacuum and I have a before and after picture for reference. It does get about 85% of the stuff up, which is a big help in between my weekly run through the car wash and the more powerful vacuums there.It isn’t a horrible vacuum and depending on what you’re using it for, you may have a better experience. It does very well for small spills like salt and pretzel crumbs that my daughter sometimes leaves in the back seat. But for sand, dirt and leaves, it hasn’t left me terribly impressed.
