I want to buy a little Dirt Devil type vac to keep in the garage. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I bought a miniture shop-vac at Meijer that is 12v cordless, and it came with a battery and a cig lighter adaptor and a few attachments.  I love it!  The battery gives me enough to vacuum out two cars, which is basically what I take to most of the shows.  Its perfect for show site details, but I question why you need anything other than a typical large canister, 120vac shop-vac for the garage.....why miniture?   Just get a good shop-vac and plenty of extension hose and you can vacuum the hole car w/o moving the unit.

Good point. I'll have to think about that.
