My interior is getting dirty, and I was wondering if you guys (and girls) can recommend an affordable, economical, and powerful vacuum for the interior of our 3 Bimmers.
I currently use some sort of a red Dirt Devil.
Thanks in advance!
BW
I dream of this one. Available at CMA.

Woa! $175! I think I will save up on a PC polisher instead.

The Vac N`Blo looks great, esp. at 4 HP but for the money I just went out and got a Wet/Dry Shop-Vac with 2.75 HP and 10 Gallons of capacity. I also purchased a microtools adapter kit for it so I can do the vents etc. I also got a small can of compressed air for the really impossible to get spots.

Take a look at Sears. I have a smaller Wet/Dry one. I bought mine a year ago now and I just emptied it today. It still had plenty of power even when it was full.

Some of the readily available Shop Vac models have 6.25 peak hp, which is more than the above pictured model, if you really want some power.

Received my vac n` blo last week and just had to compare it to my 6 hp wet/dry shop vac. Although the vac n` blo is only 4 hp it somehow outperforms the shop vac; this thing has incredible suction. Compact, powerful and attachments that can reach into the smallest of places are it`s biggest assets. The only negative I have noticed is that it seems to run a bit hot.

Just check the RH website and did a search on the Metro Vac N Blo and low and behold, $79.99, what?! typo? Regular Price $149.99; Sale $79.99. Just talked with my local RH and they said it is the original Vac N Blo with all attachments, just ordered mine online!!! Apparently they have some new leadership at RH and they are getting rid of inventory that is not moving. Hurry and get yours!!!!
Please don`t confuse the car Vac `N Blo with it`s 4 horsepower engine, and the Restoration Hardware Vac `N Blo with it`s 1.12 horsepower engine.

I have this one and it is very practical & powerful. It comes with a 20 foot hose. Try to beat that. I got mine for 69$.

I have the Hang Up Pro also and love it! $69 at Sears. I`m going to mount an extra wall hanger on the other side of the garage so I can do both sides and have made a rolling dolly for it. Now if I could just get my digital photos available to show everyone.
