[blparent] looking for very powerful vacuum any recommendations?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Yeah, a Dirt Devil almost ate me once.  I was on hands and knees using it, 
and my long hair dangled down and got caught up in it.  I swear, it took me 
a couple of hours to untangle my hair from that stupid machine.  I thought I 
was going to have to cut myself free.  Beware!

the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
