Hi Purewatre Dzine,
I, too, am a newbie and was browsing your post to see what you had found. I don't have any direct advice about the products, but I do have a recommendation for a good cheap vacuum:
I bought mine at OSH, but it is available on-line at Sears:
Craftsman Clean N Carry® 2 gal. Wet-Dry Vac, Portable Tank Style, 1.5 Peak hp - Model 17713 at Sears.com
For $29.99
I have one and love it! Before I bought it, I read all the reviews and thus have one warning: don't drop the unit-- apparently, it may stop working after a fall...
There is also a car kit that can be purchased separately, but I've found the included accessories to be sufficient.
Hope that helps.
