looking to buy a vacuum - any recommendations?

I am looking to buy a vacuum for use on my cars. I'd like something small, manueverable, and under $100. Does anyone have experience with the griot's garage Mighty 500 Watt Detailing Vacuum ($69) or the Adam's Vac N Blo 500 Vacuum ($79.95)? They look like the same vacuum. Does anyone have experience with any of the metro vacs? Amazon has a bunch of them...

the vac and blow would be a good choice.

aaaaaaaah, but we both know that I cannot order just one thing from you. Once I get on your website I'll just keep adding things to my cart!

Thanks. I ended up going with the bigger brother vac n' blo model. My wife says she'll use it for our stairs. And as usual, I added a few other things to my cart. =)

This vacuum does a great job for us daily. You can even buy the auto detailing kit with better crevice tool.

I have the Hoover GUV and have had good success. I like the fact I only have to hook up the hose and can do the cars in or out of the garage with out moving a canister or other unit. Also my driveway has a pretty good slope and the rolling ones kept going down the driveway...pain in the a.....
