Best vacuum for under $40?

I'm not looking to spend much (no more than $40) but I just want a quick vacuum that can actually PICK UP CRUMBS!!

It's annoying to buy terrible vacuums with virtually no sucking power.

Any suggestions?

Unless you find a very good deal or go find one in a yard/garage sale flea market? You will not find a new one with enough suction power.
Trust me i know the feeling it feels like the cheap vaccums just push the crumbs around. Im actually on same boat but were gona have to invest some 65 dollars at least.

Re: Best vacuum for under $40?

I got a shop-vac 5hp that cost me around $45, works wonders!
It does wet and dry extremelly well, no loss of suction whatsoever (I use it on daily basis)

No point in spending more than that really.

I use a Rigid shop vac. You can get a small one for around 40 bucks and all the add ons. I would definately buy the slanted piece as it is great for in between the seats

Re: Best vacuum for under $40?

its no miracle worker but I use hoover road rat wet/dry vacuum $20-$30 Model # L2020 12v socket. I have never used it on anything wet (as I have not needed to), but it gets the job done.

I have a 12 gallon 6 horsepower Shop-Vac that I got fom Lowes and I love it. You really should spend a bit more a get a Vac with some Oomph behind it.

Re: Best vacuum for under $40?

I picked up a Ridgid 4 HP wet/dry on wheels that I use for $90. I love it. It's easy to travel with and works wonders with plenty of power.
