Sorry if this has been covered recently--I've searched the archives, but I
haven't found a solid answer.

I am looking to purchase a general use vacuum for our extremely varied
collection--it includes textiles, television tapes, fine art, archival
materials, photographs, you name it. Budget is of course not large, and I'd
like something that has a proven track record.

I envision using this vacuum for cleaning objects (needs to function as a
blower and a vacuum) mostly, but it would be better if anyone knows of a
machine that could also be used in general maintenance of a storage facility
as well. Also, we'd like a vacuum with adjustable levels, for dealing with
delicate objects.

Someone has suggested the Data-Vac Cleaning System 2, available from Gaylord;
anyone have input?

Thanks!
