    I bought a 5.5 hp Ridgid from The Home Depot and its awesome. Plenty of power for general auto cleaning. I use it to vacuum my garage floors also.

    I prefer the ShopVac or Craftsman lines as I find more accessories/various filters like HEPA, drywall, liners, etc. than I can find for Rigid.

    I got a contractor series Shop Vac from Lowes. 16 gallons with 6 hp motor. I got it for under $90. Very powerful and fairly quiet. No tip design. You can also hook up hepa type filter to it. I have been very happy. The one draw back is it is rather large. Not an issue for me since it is used exclusively at home.

    I have the 12 gallon, 5hp Craftmans model pictured above. Love the thing--allows you to use 1 1/4" and 2 1/2" hoses. Great suction and have used it extensively since I moved into my house--have not had one problem with it.

    I need one that will fit in my trunk. That would probably mean <10 gallons.



    Shopvac has a 3hp 6 gallon, I don`t know if 3hp would be enough



    They also have a 4hp 10 gallon. I also don`t know if that would be enough, or fit in my trunk. Possibly.
