Coin-operated car vacuum - is that better than Henry vac?

Hello!
Does anyone use coin-operated vacuums to clean their cars? Are they better than Henry vac? Looking for a DIY option (not valeting). At the moment, I'm doing it with Henry. Its too heavy and it doesn't reach "hard to reach" areas. Is a coin operated vacuum any better?

Desperate! My kids trashed the car over the weekend. It needs a good clean.

Ds 19 rang me from a supermarket petrol station and declared he could have sucked the fluff off his car mats faster than the vacuum cleaner her paid for!! He left 4 mins on it!!

It will depend on how well the garage maintain/clean their vacuum, filter, etc. No one knows until you try it unfortunately. And not all garage vacuums will be the same anyway - some will be better than others in terms of suction power, head size, etc. You really just have to give it a go and see for yourself.

They're always shite in my experience - they get loose crumbs off seats, but anything in the velcro-like fabric in the footwells is stuck where it is.

Have you got nice neighbours you could borrow a more easily wieldable hoover from? That'd be my next move :)

If you are in England the only car wash / cleaning service allowed to be open are fully automatic.
In the one I use the guy just set the programme wasn't allowed to use hoover for inside
