Vacums

beemerdan · 12-10-2007, 11:00 AM

Anyone have recommendations on small car vacums for interior?

I have a small garage vac, but it sucks cause you cant get into any small tight spaces (between seats and body of car). Same with sucking sand in small spaces near the pedals and such.

Im looking to purchase from Amazon or some other trusted website. Im a cleaning fanatic.

I have a hand vac but I mostly use a shop on an extension cord. So much more powerful and I find it just as easy to use. Just get some better attachments for the vac you have now.

I will use the shop vac for carpets. Im looking more for like, cleaning in between the seats, something small for tight spots.

I'm not a big fan of those hand held vacuums. They don't really get into the nooks and crannies and are often underpowered.

I have the Rigid pro pack, it's AWESOME, but was kind of pricey.

Get the hand held Dyson. Comes with lots of attachments and sucks like a 10k hooker.......not that i have EVER used one.....got married when i was 21 and have been receiving free oral since

beemerdan · 12-10-2007, 05:31 PM

haha. nice. ill look into the dyson also.

ejazbmw · 12-10-2007, 07:58 PM

dysons are to expensive lol a shop vac is the best if you ask me they even suck water and they'll last you forever

beemerdan · 12-11-2007, 12:30 PM

its just those small crevices is the major problem.

JKratty · 12-11-2007, 12:34 PM

Here's what I use. Works fantastic, and plugs into the cig lighter.

That little thing has so much power. It comes in so handy when I take my truck to the beach or mountains..sand,debris,leaves,etc. No chance against the Vac n Blo. Great investment and made in the USA.

I bought one handheld vacuum in Costco, and I have never used it (it's in the trunk, just in case, for emergencies).

I always use the powerful one in my garage (it's actually an old upright vacuum we used to have inside the house before).

I actually used a Dyson that we didn't use in the house anymore before I got the vacnblo but it's all about the attachments man... all about the attachments

I agree, the thing that amazes me about the Vac 'n Blo is you have a perfect attachment for every situation, not to mention it is very powerful and doubles up as a blower which works great for both interior and exterior detailing.

Here's a pic of what the Vac 'n Blo comes with:

If anyone has any questions on it, please do not hesitate to ask.

Plus the Vac N Blo is TOUGH! I've dropped mine a few times and it keeps on suckin' with the same power. I should take a picture of mine to show you the state it's in. Dents, dings, scratches, hose pulls etc. Built like an Abrams.

FMINUS · 12-20-2007, 09:06 PM

I like Metro vac, very powerful

It sucks AND it blows!

very durable construction, i love it, plus you can probably go pick one up right now rather than having to wait for a metro to arrive.
Also, I ran recall HD having a detailers attachment kit available in the vac section.

ScheerSpeed · 12-22-2007, 06:12 PM

i just use my wet/dry vac at home, and a dirt devil when i go somewhere else
