Default OT Vacuum Cleaner

Can anyone recommend a small lightweight electric vacuum cleaner with good suction power. My battery powered vacuum cleaner doesn't do the job very well and my 5 gallon wet/dry is too bulky and hose too big.
Thanks

I have this. It is small, I just put it on the floor of my car I'm cleaning. I keep it under my workbench and pull it out when I need it.
I like it for its size and power.

Product Summary

The Milwaukee cordless wet/dry vacuum works with all Milwaukee M18™ slide-on batteries to offer higher air power and suction to provide quick and easy removal of dust, debris and water, along with long continuous run time. Tool only; battery and charger sold separately
What's Included
  • (1) Vacuum
  • (1) Wet/dry HEPA filter
  • (1) Crevice tool

Cordless and works better than the shop vac
Also has a port for blowing, have used it to dry a car at the car show.

I've one of these I bought on a forum members recommendation about 10 years ago and it is great! Body all metal and good hoses. Made in USA. I believe back then they were $99.
