Which wall mount vacuum?

[toyotadriver]

Interested in a wall mounted vacuum. Looking at the Hoover GUV but not sure what else is out there. Never owned one. Would like to use it vacuum cars and clean the house garage.

What do you recommend?

I have the Hoover GUV.., It gets my vote.

Unrelated to the thread but I believe we have met! If you have the same name on HD Forums and rode with Tige to Goldendale that seals the deal.

I have one of these: http://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-S...500/100377372?keyword=rigid+wall+mount+vacuum

Not as compact and the hose isn't as long, but it is powerful and has the added benefit of being portable and able to function as a wet vac. If you already have a wet/dry vac though, the Hoover GUV looks like the way to go.

EDIT: Here is another option I came across that appears to compete with the Hoover, can be a wet vac too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003R3JFJO/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I've got the GaragePro. It's "ok". Doesn't have the suction I had hoped for, although I enjoy having a long hose to get all over the place with. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. If it had twice the suction, it would be a solid unit.

I have the store and go in the link above.
I added an 8 dollar hose and it now has a sixteen foot long hose.
I'm not sure length of hose is a deal closer when hose is so inexpensive.
I would have to have a very small garage and a whole lot of patience to put up with a wall mount that wasn't portable.

Here is my set up. Cox reel with 75' of hose too. Reaches whole shop, boats and driveway for cars...

Got the vac on Amazon...

I use a GarageVac from Vacuumaid. I just coil the hose in a Gladiator Cabinet.

Ridgid store and go here, best $99 I ever spent.

I want to use the hide-a-hose system with a central vac. I haven't tried it but it looks like central vacs that are wet dry are VERY expensive. The hide-a-hose system is good for lazy people like me and it uses the suction to retract the hose within the pipe. Its part of my grand plan for my garage!
