Car vacuum cleaner and video recorder - a favorite choice of car owners in online stores

January 22, 2019

Auto products are one of the most popular categories in online stores. Among air compressors, high-pressure washers, and other necessities , car vacuum cleaners and video recorders are the most frequently chosen by consumers.

Car vacuum cleaners - a complete review

Handheld vacuum cleaners operate on 12 volts, meaning they plug into the car's power source and are very convenient for those who care about maintaining cleanliness in their car on a daily basis.
Vacuum cleaners vary in size, power, and brand. The two most popular brands are the British Ring and the American Black & Decker, which are generally considered world leaders in the production of automotive products.
Their price starts from 90 GEL and ranges up to 190 GEL. All of them, in most online stores, come with a 1-year warranty and the customer benefits from free delivery service.

Since the summer of 2019, the Isuruve category called car vacuum cleaners has become even more diverse.

Installments are also available and the terms are more or less standard. The only thing we recommend paying attention to is power and volume, since a weak vacuum cleaner will have difficulty performing its duties, and small-capacity models often need to be emptied and are inconvenient in this regard. Considering both of these factors and the price, we would recommend the Ring RVAC1 or Black and Decker ADV1200-XK models most, with prices of 118 and 175 GEL, respectively.

Video recorders - best tips

Another very popular auto product , a car video recorder, is relatively easy to choose, since there are only 2 types of recorders on the market: front and rear and front, rear and cabin, or 3-view cameras.

Some online stores offer models without rear view cameras that only record forward, but since they are useless for parking assistance, they are usually less popular.

Today we will be reviewing the products of another British brand, Carpro, which is one of the largest manufacturers of both types of recorders.

It is important to note that to avoid buying counterfeit, Chinese versions, purchase the hologram version. The cheapest two-camera recorder is sold for 189 GEL in the original version, while Chinese versions are available for up to 70 GEL.

The main difference between them is the warranty period. While the holographic Carpro recorder is sold with a 1-year warranty, the Chinese-made versions either do not come with a warranty at all or, at best, cover a 1-week period.
In addition, there are differences in functionality, namely, in cheaper versions, some of the functions listed on the box and in the instructions simply do not work and are only placed for visual effect.

The recorder features a front and rear view camera with a 140-degree viewing angle , a large 1920 x 1080 resolution, a motion detector, and a sound recording function.

In this case, the front camera records, while the rear camera, which is mounted under the license plate, is activated during parking and helps you park the car.

By default, these models (official versions) come with an 8 GB memory card, and the user can insert a 32 GB chip.

Its installation is the simplest, the monitor is mirror-shaped and is mounted on the front mirror, in the cabin, while the rear-view camera, as mentioned, is located under the trunk or license plate of the car, and the wiring is connected to the so-called "stop" lamp, so that the recorder can sense when you shift into reverse, i.e. you want to park the car, and display the image on the main monitor.

The 3-camera recorder has similar features and functionality, with the difference that the price of its original version is up to 250 GEL, while the cheaper one is 120-130 GEL. In addition, it has the shape of a monitor instead of a mirror and is mounted on the windshield of the car with a special mount, approximately the same type as a mobile phone charger, and unlike the previous model, it has the ability to view both the front and rear and the cabin, of which only the front and cabin cameras are equipped with a recording function, while the rear camera is used only for parking.
