    What vacuum do you use?

    Just curious to know what vacuum you guys use and what you like about it.

    I use the Rigid Portable 5hp with the Professional hose upgrade. It has fantastic power and a lifetime warranty. It also only costs around $90 plus $35 for the hose upgrade.

    Ive had mine for 2 years now with no issues.

    Re: What vacuum do you use?

    I used to use a rigid. It was always trying to bump against the vehicle and the hose was way to stiff. Can't beat the price but now I have this machine . Review: Metro Full Size Vac N Blo 4.0 HP Vacuum

    10 year old shop vac.

    Not much I like about it really other than its durability. Its incredibly loud.

    My GF bought me the Kobalt 5gal 5hp Vac with a huuuge hose and remote control on the tip. The best feature is the remote control. I dont have to skip a beat, i just turn it off, do what i need to, then turn it back on

    I thought I came across that info but I can't find it at the moment. Rav777 has one and said it works great.
