I'm not looking to spend much (no more than $40) but I just want a quick vacuum that can actually PICK UP CRUMBS!!

It's annoying to buy terrible vacuums with virtually no sucking power.

Any suggestions?
 
Unless you find a very good deal or go find one in a yard/garage sale flea market? You will not find a new one with enough suction power.
Trust me i know the feeling it feels like the cheap vaccums just push the crumbs around. Im actually on same boat but were gona have to invest some 65 dollars at least.
 
I would look for a better grade used one for that price.
 
I got a shop-vac 5hp that cost me around $45, works wonders!
It does wet and dry extremelly well, no loss of suction whatsoever (I use it on daily basis)

No point in spending more than that really.
 
I use a Rigid shop vac. You can get a small one for around 40 bucks and all the add ons. I would definately buy the slanted piece as it is great for in between the seats
 
its no miracle worker but I use hoover road rat wet/dry vacuum $20-$30 Model # L2020 12v socket. I have never used it on anything wet (as I have not needed to), but it gets the job done.
 
I have a 12 gallon 6 horsepower Shop-Vac that I got fom Lowes and I love it. You really should spend a bit more a get a Vac with some Oomph behind it.
 
I picked up a Ridgid 4 HP wet/dry on wheels that I use for $90. I love it. It's easy to travel with and works wonders with plenty of power.
 
Wal Mart has a Shop Vac for 30 bucks that is 2.5HP and heck I dont know maybe 2 gallons or something. Anyways, I bought it to keep in the boathouse at my family's lakehouse and ended up liking it so much I brought it home. I use it pretty often on my own vehicle and also when I go camping etc. I have used it on quite a few details as well with no problems. It's not a workhorse, but for the size and price of it. It's hard to beat.
 
Where u guys live? I live in california and cheapest i found in my local hd,lowes is 50 dollar shop-vac plus tax is around $55-60 :( nothing thats close to 40 except ones under 1.7 hp
 
You can try looking on Craigslist, I just got a used RIDGID WD4522 for $40 in great condition with all the attachments and manual, I definetly got lucky. some pawn shops carry alot of tools too but Craigslist is usually where I look first.
 
Ah I just checked CL.

Someone is selling the Rigid 5HP (listed May 6th) for $50. Hopefully they still have it and I can grab it for $40 :P.
 
I just bought this Shop Vac at Lowes for 30 bucks. It's 2.5 HP, which is awesome for a Shop Vac this small

The only thing is, it doesn't hold a ton of stuff before emptying. I'm very pleased with it. It's powerful enough to lift the carpet up off the floor, and ,sucks liquids out of carpets well. Also , it hangs up out of the way on your wall, as space is important to me.

He says he has this one brand new, it doesn't have the muffler.

Is it needed or? I assume it silences that vacuum.

It's an accessorie so I am guessing It's something optional, If it's already opened you should plug it in and see how it works when you go buy it. The one I bought was on CL for 3 weeks so I offered $40 instead of $50
 
He's firm on $40.

He says it's brand new in the box (but where's the muffler???).

I'm trying to bring him down to $35 since I'll be driving to him ($5 covers gas both ways lol).

Hopefully he agrees for once.
