I'll bite. Have a wall mounted hoover in the garage with all the attachments. Never pay for vacuuming anymore. Made my money back within a year (4 cars).

Just a simple shop vac from Home Depot. Mine has a detachable blower that I use to dry my truck as well. Works great, and for $100 it's a must have in any home/garage

A shop-vac 1.5 hp. It's a bit bigger than a gallon paint can, and man does that thing suck.


Seriously, had for over 10 years, and it's still a damn good vac. Light, and easy to get it around inside of the vehicles. Got it a Lowes.

I have 3 hairy dogs so the first thing I do is get the leaf blower out, open all doors and blow out everything that will move.
If there is anything left inside that doesn't belong, I get out the Dyson Animal cordless. It works great but only runs for 6 minutes on a charge. More than enough time to finish the job.

A shop wet/dry vac... Plenty of power to get to dirt that the little skinny adapter won't reach

You can get these at Walmart too. There's also an attachment kit you can get for these that have some small brushes for the dash or cleaning computers and such. Very handy!

I bought a car vac made by turtle. It actually works very well and has some pretty decent suction. It was around $30 at wallyworld. I'm happy with it and really does a good job.
