GUV - Garage Utility Vacuum
I've been wanting to get a GUV for a couple of years now. And I finally did it.

Griot's Garage sells the GUV. It is a wall-mount cannister vacuum for about $199.
It comes with a nice array of tools and a 30 ft hose!!

It is soooo easy to vacuum everywhere on the Cayman, with no need to pass the hose through the car or relocate the vacuum. And the GUV is made by Hoover, so it gets the job done!!

The end of the hose has an adjustable sliding valve to decrease the suction for sensitive areas.

I have one also, it's great. I have it hanging on the wall in the closet wall closet. The hose is long enough to go all around car, not like the kind on wheels where the cord keeps getting stuck around the tires.

I have it too. Mounted between stalls 2/3 it reaches all 3 cars inside and trunks. Great for vacuuming the garage floor too- I never sweep anymore. Love it!

For me I'd rather pay 50 bucks more knowing I could return it than buying from an E-Bayer no matter the reputation.

It's actually more like $73 with shipping charges included, and you'd probably have to return it to Hoover if it breaks under warranty.

Griots provides you with a return mailer at their cost if you don't like the product. If you break it you are probably correct.
