I have a new account with terrible lighting, especially under pews, etc. Any recommendations for a vacuum with a headlights and 50 ft. cord. Also was thinking of way to use a "bill-lite" any ideas. Also, Mr. Moody thanks for the ankle weight idea and Mr. Srivner for the bucket heater advice/warnings.

I'll take some flack for this...

I'll take some flack for this...but I love my $90 Bissell Clearview. It has a headlight and about a 30-35 foot cord, so you may need an extension cord if you truly require 50 feet.

I have 2 extra sets of the washable foam filters that way I can change them before every job and wash them out and dry them overnight.

Get one with the Turbo Brush attachment- works great on stairs.

I have a $1500 Rainbow that sits in my trailer mostly unused these days due to my Bissell.

I've never used it but someone one Mikey's Bord was suggesting this one: Sanitaire SC5845. just google it. I'm thinking about it. Seems to be a mid range as far as price goes and I'm needing a to get another vacuum myself. I like the fact it has a clear canister so the customer can see that you are actual picking something up. THen again if your not the customer will see that to. I also like the idea of using equipment that the customer is going to find a wal mart. I wonder if they'll ever come out with a pile lifter with a clear canister?
Good luck.
