I just take the cars out and use a leaf blower in the 40X60 shop.. Let things settle for an hour before retuning them.

Unfortunately there are two vehicles, two tractors, 3 big mowers, ATV, side by side, motorcycles, implements, welding equipment and the usual shop equipment ... so I end up cleaning the "parking spot" of various equipment when it's out being used.

Same here, Vacuuming would be a slow process. I just open the door and move the car out.
Start at the far end and let the EGO 765 do what it does best.
Trick is not to aim at light objects

Watch this. This is very short, it's a Rainbow.. It doesn't have its power head on, but this shows the power. Mine gets like mud after, quick rinse, done, NO BAGS. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rainbow+va...%3DKKH11Vec1h4

There are plenty of used ones, especially if you only use it like a shop vac, no attactments

Very interesting, being a vacuum-o'-phile I might have to look into one of those, not necessarily for the shop.

I recently watched a video about the history of vacuum cleaners and the water filtration system was used way back on some of the first vacuums. Probably went out of style because vacuum companies couldn't make money selling water

I'm messing around now trying to design a HD vacuum-turbine powered brush head for my shop vac.

Right after we were first married I made the mistake of inviting a Rainbow salesman into our house. Not unlike a vampire! Guy was relentless but I never caved. It seemed like it was an ok product but this was the late 80's and I think that thing cost close to $1000. then!! I barely had 2 nickles to rub together.

The history of the vacuum video I watched did cover the extreme tactics of vacuum salesmen of the 40's to 80's. I think some class action lawsuits, or something put and end to it. They sent the salesmen to schools to basically learn how to intimidate old lades and such. I think Kirby was one of the worst offenders.
