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.

I recently purchased a Ridgid vac from Home depot for 99 dollars. I also received 10 dollars off for opening an account. The vac is a 6.25 hp. It is a two in one vac. It has a detachable blower and the blower has a filter. It has a special car adapter for vacuuming that works well for me.
I also have a set of rhino car ramps from Wal-Mart that are very light weight and easy to use. I use the following procedure. I drive my car up the ramps which raises the front end about six inches and wash. the ramps accomplish two things. It allows the water to drain off and it allows easy access to cleaning the front bumper area. After rinsing I use the blower to help dry. the blower pushes the water off and helps to get into areas that are diffcult. Use you favorite towel for final drying. Now it is time to reattach the blower and vacuum.
BTW this vac is very powerful. Sorry for the long post. Just trying to pass on a few hints.

I know what you're thinking home shopping? If you're looking for value I would consider looking at HSN's Euro pro line.
Goto http://www.hsn.com in their search bar type euro pro vacuum and the have a great line of vacuums starting at $25- $43 (the chrome model). These vacs although really small provide a lot of suction (they do that cheezy bowling ball trick). But then again coming from the old dustbuster this is quite an improvment and really portable sizewise.
They have a 30 day money back guarantee so you're not stuck with a crappy vac.
