Many Sears are also running a "Managers Special" where they can take an additional 10% off the $89. In a recent PTG journal article, Mr. Gravagne, I believe, mentioned that the Mighty Mites can be quite useful, especially when one is on the road. One needs to be careful, though, because Eureka has about 4 different Mighty Mites, all of different horsepowers. The Imperial starts at 2.0 hp and is useless for blowing off a soundboard. I own the 3.5hp model (which pulls about 62 inches water static), but the 4.0hp BOSS will move more air and is the one on sale at Sears. I thought I should post this because I faced some aggravation last year trying to shop for a good portable vac. Fred Scoles, RPT Scoles@Oswego.Oswego.edu
