The first question to ask yourself when you're buying a wet-dry vac is, How much power/capacity do I really need? The night we moved in to our new house, a freak hailstorm flooded our basement. I borrowed my father-in-law's industrial-sized vacuum to clean up the mess, and it was just too big to maneuver in my basement and I almost broke my back lugging the eight-gallon tank up the stairs to empty it out.

For most home applications, I think three-five gallons is about right, so this six-gallon model would be appropriate if you anticipate the need for more capacity but don't feel like you need the extra power of a four-HP or better model. Even with the slightly higher capacity, it's still small enough to be maneuverable in cramped quarters.

The Quiet-Deluxe series, as the name suggests, are very quiet indeed, which makes this a good choice for home use. It has a blower feature for use in the yard, and comes with a selection of useful accessories. My one complaint about this model is that the hose was a little narrow, especially where it enters the vacuum. While I never had a problem with clogging, it seemed like this could be an issue depending on what you're trying to clean up.

Other than that, this is a great little vacuum with enough power and capacity for most home or small-business applications.--Josh Dettweiler

Clean Freak - Suzanne Schroer -
This product is great for the compact size, but as for cleaning it leaves alot to be desired. I purchased this to make it easier to clean the car interior and workshop benches and equipment. The attachments that came with this product is not anything needed to get in those tight areas. It is my own fault for not reading the product details, but this is the first time I have ever bought a wet/dry vacuum that didn't come with an attachment for those tight places.
