On March 20 I posted about a sale Sears has on a portablem vacuum cleaner, but I think it didn't get through, so I'm trying again. Sears has on sale for around $89. through end of March (at least) the Eureka BOSS Mighty Mite II, 4.0 HP, l0.0 Amp vacuum kit. It is the most powerful Mighty Mite made and is the best one for cleaning actions and soundboards in blower mode. One should avoid the lesser HP Mighty Mites (Imperial and 3.0 HP plain Mighty Mite II) because they cost more at most stores and aren't as powerful. The BOSS seems to outperform most Shopvacs. When I shopped for a vacuum to use on the road I found many comparable units but none as powerful and compact as the Boss. This posting is rather late, but some states, such as NY have a law about sale prices extending for about a month after if the customer brings it to their attention. This is the same model which Nick Gravagne and others have mentioned as a useful "road" vac. Fred Scoles, RPT Scoles@Oswego.Oswego.edu
