Amazon.com Product Review
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 What's in the Box

 had to replace just out of warrenty August 10, 2008
My Shop Vac lasted just long enough, with occasional use only and not abused, to be out of warranty when it died. Went and replaced it with a RIGID, which has a lifetime warranty. The difference in operation and quality is obvious when you use both. Buyer beware.
Disappointing May 3, 2008
The hose on this model is a much smaller diameter than the larger Shop-Vacs, and often clogs at the worst possible spots. The wheels falling off was also a pain--until I screwed them to the base. The biggest problem, however, is that after a few months the filter will not stay in place, and dust spews out all over the place. I'm currently looking for a bigger/better model.

The filter design on the vacuum is defective. It consists of a sheet of filter paper which you drape over a cylinder and secure by sliding a big o-ring collar over it.
No matter how good you slide the ring on, it is only a matter of time until the ring slides off. When this happens, you'll know, as the vacuum spurts out an amazing amount of dust. We used this vacuum for about a year during many home renovation projects and I can't count how many times it has blown dust all over our house. We even got into the habit of checking the filter before every time we turned on, but it still happens some times.
It just happened again: dust blown all over my kitchen.
This puppy is getting sold for pennies on the dollar on craigslist and I'm going out to buy another. What a cheap product destined for the landfill.

I returned the vacuum because the nozzle and hose were too small to be useful for cleaning leaves, etc. in the garden.
