    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
