Length of hose doesn't help, of course.  But real car vaccums -- like
at a car wash -- are really powerful.  The one at the garage I used to
run had three 2-hp motors, and boy did it suck stuff up.  It was  made
by Adams, who make lots of the ones you see at places like that.
They're expensive, but they last forever, and everything that wears
out is replaceable or servicable, so there's probably a used market
for them.

I have one of these:

http://www.sears.com/craftsman-remote-control-wall-mount-5.0-peak-hp/p-00916825000P

Like the other wall-mounted units, it has a long skinny hose, so the
suction is a bit weak.
But it can easily be unhooked from the wall and carried to some other place
to be used.
Also, it has remote-control on/off buttons at the end of the hose, which is
very handy.
It is fairly quiet.
