Portable Vacuums

[Mark Schecter]

I second the Hoover PortaPower endorsement. I've been using mine for 
about 30 years, and it shows no sign of ever giving up. I received an 
Oreck portable as a bonus for buying the Oreck upright (a good, 
lightweight machine), but it was so noisy that I soon went back to my 
trusty Hoover. There are two on eBay right now for very few dollars, for 
example:     http://tinyurl.com/5nrrvs
