Not sure if this has been discussed before. I'm just curious if any of you have suggestions on some with GOOD car attachments and flexible hoses. I bought a Rigid shop vac from Home Depot but it just seems to bulky to get around with ease and the attachments aren't all that great for tight spots either.

 

For the price shop vacs suck the best,attachments granted are not the best.

 

I have the large Rigid vac and it is too big and bulky. I found a good one at Lowes on sale for $20. It comes with a smaller hose and attachments. Only bad thing is that the cord is too short. Its only about 6 feet long.

I have a very similar one, Sleestak. It's a 2.5 gallon 2.5 hp Shopvac with 1 1/4 " hose. The cord is only 6', that's what extension cords are for. It only has a 4' hose, I bought a 8' extender and some extra attachments. When I bought it, they didn't have any with the 7' hose like yours.

 

I have one of the Shop Vac All Arounds 2 Gallon 3 horsepower, it's small but packs a MEAN punch. Plenty of cord length to do anything I need, and will comfortably sit on the center console of my truck while I sweep so I don't have to move it around. I paid $50 at Wal-Mart for it.

 

My mom got me this 4gal 5hp Craftsman shop vac last Christmas. It has a 20ft power cord and comes with 5-6ft of hose. She also got me the accessory pack but the only good part of that is the extra 8-10ft hose it came with. This is a great vacuum. Plenty of power and small enough to easily transport.

I have the vac below mounted on my wall in the garage.

It has exceeded my expectations in EVERY area.

Highly recommended.

I use the Little Dirt Devil (for 15 years). They are fairly cheap, have a nice hose attachment (5 foot) and a mini rotating brush attachment and permanent bag. It's electric with a very long cord (20 foot) and very powerfull!

 

I have the same as above and very happy with it as well.

 

I have a craftsman. I actually have this one which I highly recommend.

Okay, so I went to Sears last night and bought the wall mounted 5 gal. I stood there for about 10-15 minutes staring at the two craftsman mentioned above trying to decide. I just like the idea of hanging it on the wall and getting it off from the floor. I don't have a lot of room in my garage so that is kind of nice. The other 4 gal model has a really cool accesory kit available for it. It includes really small attachments that would great for vents and really small/tight areas.

 

I just use my some vaccume and go at it on the lightest suction pressure going against the style of the carpet. Never a complain and still looks new.
