Design and features
Like many, I eat in my car… and at my desk… and on the couch… Inevitably, cookie crumbs, black olive bits, and fragments of Cheese-It’s find their way under the seats and into the deep abysses. Vacuuming is the only practical process for purging the particles. So…
The Briggi MX30 arrived in a small, recyclable box.
I was pleasantly surprised at the Brigii MX30 handheld vacuum’s size. It’s smaller than expected, only a little larger than a 20-ounce soda bottle.
Parts are contained in a secure plastic nest.
The vacuum body is made of sturdy plastic.
While charging or in storage, the vacuum and tools fit into a handy-dandy base.
The Brigii MX30 handheld vacuum is charged via a USB-C port. A short USB-A to USB-C cord is included.
A red LED adjacent to the power button blinks while the vacuum is sipping juice. From fully depleted, after about two hours and thirty minutes on a 2000mA charger, charging is complete and the LED stops flashing. To turn it on and off, press and hold the power button for one second.
On a full battery, I measured about 18 minutes of run time – plenty for eradication of most of the carnage from my carriage.
The multi-surface tool is about four inches wide. There’s a velvety surface on the forward edge that does a commendable job on pet hair.
The brush on the 2-in-1 nozzle slides forward and latches in place. The filaments are soft so they aren’t likely to cause damage to surfaces.
I appreciated the narrowness of the brush tool. It had no trouble fitting into the pesky and often neglected spaces between the car seats, center console, and door.
For cleaning, the vacuum nozzle rotates to unlock…
…then the diminutive filter can be removed.
I was impressed with the amount of suction the Brigii MX30 handheld vacuum produces. In just a few seconds of operation, have a look at the copious crud collected.
What I like
- Great suction for such a small vacuum
- USB rechargeable
- Uncomplicated operation and maintenance
What I’d change
- Nothing
Final thoughts
I confess I’m a slob, but at least I try to keep my surroundings clean. I have several larger vacuums, but it’s sometimes a challenge to make the time for deep cleaning. During the in-between interludes, I’ve found quick cleaning is essential, not just for keeping things manageable, but for my peace of mind. The Brigii MX30’s small size, run-time, USB recharging, and good suction combined with narrow tools are ideal for keeping car cracks and couch cushions clean. Great job, Brigii, and thank you
