I use the 18V Cordless 1/2 Gallon Wet/Dry Portable Vac. Its hose disconnects for the harder to reach places, and it being cordless means I use it more often. I also have a small 5.5hp Shop-vac for everything else.

 

Somthin like this?

Nope none of those.

yah, these sears shop vac are like getting a color inkjet printer. the printer might be cheap but the ink cartridges are expensive. the options/accessories costs about or more than my vac.

a few years ago i paid like $35 for my 5 gallon and got like $35+ worth of accessories... diffuser (muffler), blower adapter, narrow area adapter.

 

I use one of the orange Home Depot shop vacs and it gets used for commercial use(about 20-50 cars/vans per day). Works as well as any high cost brand I've ever used. Accessories are inexpensive, the vac itself is inexpensive, and the filters are not only inexpensive but washable and reusable.

 

yes, for function-only i think the cheezo ones work just fine. it's these rich folks that have to have Dysons and stuff. i dont understand them.



kenchan is a dyson roller...

 

Yeah but you have that ball thing...I can't drive those, they seem like they go backwards as far as steering.

 

really? it handles like a MINI through all the tight corners. just twist the handle in the direction you want to motor.

 

Maybe that's the problem, I was actually trying to like, steer it, not just twist the handle.

I dunno

 

Ken,

I've got a 3.5HP Craftsman, it's ok, but I wish I could get small attachments to get in nooks and crannies. What do you use?

 

I just bought the Black n Decker "Black & Decker PAV1200W 12-Volt Cyclonic-Action Automotive Pivoting-Nose Handheld Vacuum Cleaner" (amazon link) and I have to agree with their reviews -- it seems to be fantastic for the task! 12v wired, no wireless weak vacuum here.

 

Harbor Freight 5 gallon 3hp shop vac works great and I bought it when it was onsale + a 25% coupon... works great.
