Summary
A 0.6 lb cordless dry-only handheld car vacuum with a 3.4 oz usable dust cup, claimed 20 in water lift and USB-C charging in 3.5 to 4 hours. Check the warranty and filter supply before buying: the product page says two years, the manual says one, and no replacement filter channel was found.
Strengths
- Weighs 0.6 lb, lighter than many handheld car vacuums.
- Cordless with USB-C charging and a washable filter; no bags or subscription.
- 2-in-1 crevice tool with a removable detail brush for seams and vents.
- Storage bag and cable included for a tidy car kit.
- Manufacturer claims 20 in water lift, above the mini cordless category average.
Weaknesses
- Dry use only; not for spills or wet messes.
- Usable dust cup is only 3.4 oz, so it fills fast.
- Filter must dry 24 hours after washing; no spare filter included.
- Warranty length conflicts between the product page (2 years) and the manual (1 year).
- No independent test of this exact model; the claimed 20 in is unverified.

Suction and cleaning expectations
Armor All rates the AA07V2 0901 at 20 in water lift, 12.68 CFM and 7.5 air watts, measured to an ASTM standard at the end of the included hose. No independent instrumented test of this exact model was found on major test outlets or car-focused sites. The only comparable data is category-level: independently tested mini cordless car vacuums averaged about 5 in water lift, while wet/dry shop vacuums averaged about 64 in. The claimed 20 in sits above that mini average, but the test sets and conditions are unknown, so treat the claim as unverified. Expect surface crumbs and dust, not embedded sand or pet hair in carpet.
Filters and running costs
The washable cartridge filter should be cleaned after every use with mild soap and water, then air-dried for 24 hours before reuse. A new filter is recommended after 12 months, or sooner if torn. The manual names replacement part 561117101, but no confirmed US price or stock was found. There are no bags or subscription. An illustrative energy estimate: 50 full charges a year at 0.025 kWh each is 1.25 kWh, which at $0.20 per kWh would amount to $0.25 a year. That assumes wall energy that the manufacturer does not publish, so treat it as a calculation example only.
Warranty and support
The product page advertises a 2 Year Limited warranty, while the exact-model manual states a limited one-year warranty from purchase (from delivery for California buyers). The Cleva warranty page lists Armor All wet/dry vacs only and does not cover this dry handheld, so it does not resolve the conflict. Use one year as the minimum documented coverage and get any longer promise in writing. Exclusions include normal wear, filters and accessories, misuse and unauthorized repairs. Customer service is 1-866-384-8432. Cleva accepts unused new-condition returns within 30 days through orders@cleva-na.com; shipping fees are generally not refunded. The lithium-ion battery must be recycled, not incinerated.
Battery care and storage
The manual restricts charging, storage and use to 40°F to 100°F (4°C to 40°C). A car parked in summer sun can exceed that range, which can damage a lithium-ion battery. Charge fully before first use, switch the unit off before charging, and keep it out of extreme heat.
Is it worth it?
At the manufacturer’s $34.99 direct price (sold out at the time of check), the unit is a reasonable convenience tool for surface messes. Third-party listings asked $47.99 and $62.99, which are harder to justify against a BLACK+DECKER CHV1410L at $49.99 to $59.99 with a larger 605 mL bowl, an 11-minute rated runtime and a known replacement filter. Below $25 delivered is good value only if new and verified; $25 to $35 is fair; above $45, consider a larger handheld or a shop vac for deep cleaning.
