Portable Vac

[John M. Formsma]

I just looked at mine in the trunk. It's a Scorpion that I found at Wal-Mart
for $20 or so. It's OK, but not suitable for larger stuff like mice nests.
Which, by the way, I do fewer of...thankfully.

I like that the Oreck portables aren't so loud, but I haven't used one to
know what kind of suction they produce. I just use earplugs whenever I have
to vacuum for any length of time.

I use a Hoover PortaPower.  In fact, I have several in the shop and one in
my car.  I find them in thrift stores on rare occasions.  They cost about
$130. new at Hoover outlet stores.  They have a permanent cloth bag, but
I've seen paper disposable ones too.  Very reliable.
