interior portable vacuums

[usmc_noma]

the ones at the car wash place aren't cutting it and i hate paying for it. i also don't have room for a shop vac either.

so what are ya'll using to vacuum the interior, or is the car wash vacs your go to?

[wagonproject]

don't have room for a shop vac?

[usmc_noma]

i live in a small townhome and it's already been taken over by truck parts.

I picked one of them up for $20 works great.

[usmc_noma]

just 20 bucks. i might have to run by lowes and check one out.

Dewalt sells a one gal. shop vac for 99.00. zComes with an 18 volt battery and charger I think. My dad has one in his motorhome and loves it.

theres the dewalt vac $99

now that i think about it, i'd rather spend less for more of a vacuum. there's only so much a 1/2 gallon vac will pickup. it would be more practical to get a 2 gal vac than the 1/2 gal. i've seen a few 2 gal vacs for 30-40 bucks.

i recommend getting atleast 4gallon with 5hp motor or higher craftsman. ive tried smaller ones and different brands....none have good enough sucking power to pick anything up. i paid about $70 for mine love it

[usmc_noma]

here's one of the ones i'm looking at

the other one i've got in mind is a 2.5 gal 2.5 hp for $30.

Here is the one I have It's tiny but it does a good job for vacuuming out my car and cleaning off my work bench and it's super easy to carry around.

i was looking at this one too. does this one suck up better than the pay ones? the suction is the main reason i was looking at the other two i listed, and the higher hp.

If you are more concerned with power over portibility I would say get the bigger one from lowes to be on the safe side. But this one is plenty strong enough for me for little jobs like cleaning out my cars... I would not reccomend getting it as your only vaccum though.

16 gal craftsman shop vac. I've used the small dewatt ones and they are pretty good.

i'm looking at both options really. i'll probably stop by a lowes tomorrow to see how big the two i listed are. i'll check the out the one you have too. i just need a small one with good suction now because i don't have storage space for the larger 10+ gallon ones else i'd get those. but for now it'll be the portable while i'm still in this townhome.
