Euro-Pro Shark Hand Vacuum
MSRP: $29.99 CDN
Where to buy: Canadian Tire
Neat handy item for vacuuming out your car, especially for those of us with central vac and don't want to haul out the 30 ft hose.
Last I recalled this is $29.99 at Canadian Tire. When I got it, there was a promo for it being only $19.99. Comes with a 15 ft. cord, and I managed to use it in my 20 ft garage without an extension cord.
Overall, it's pretty good. The hose is a bit flimsy, so the two nozzle brushes can easily come off. But for the price, I really shouldn't complain. The nozzles and hose end are small enough to get into some tight areas. It's not noisy...sounds more like the girlfriend's hairdryer if anything. Cleanup is easy. Undo the front end to empty out the dust and stones. The filter just washes out under the tap.
You can get a Shop Vac for about the same price, but I really didn't want a huge canister vac taking up room. So, I went compact.
