The reason why i'm asking is because i was washing my car today and in the middle of vacuuming my seats, my weak little canister vacuum burnt out on me and now the back half of my car is clean but the front half is still dirty as hell LOL
Wait for sale.. the Dirt Devil Featherlite (the one I use on cars).. get discounted to $50 nearly once a month.
If you can't wait.. I find you pretty much have to bend over shopping in Canada.
The dirt devil is really basic, No BS motor attachments etc.. works fine. Also vs standup ones, you don't suckup the garage floor while you are vacuuming. I use another one on my work bench to suck up stray plastic, solder etc.

Plus, you can buy HEPA filters for certain models. Ridgid vacs at Home Depot are of decent quality. Sometimes, they have "special buy" (probably gimmick) ones on display.
In fact, last week, they had a smaller one on for $49.00. It was at the Home Depot in Richmond in the contractor's section.

Just a heads up for those looking to buy cheap gas in the US, don't go to Costco with a jerry can with capacity larger than 5 gallons (~22.7 litres). I had a 25 litre gas can and they refused to let me fill it. Some old Washington law. I've never had that happen. I guess the two people they assign to stand around now have something better to do, LOL. The prices were no better than Sumas.
I was in Bellingham to get stuff at Harbor Freight Tools. If it weren't for that, I'd just get gas in Sumas or Blaine.
