Hello everyone, unfortunately my shop vac died today an I need to buy another one soon. I do have a mobile business so having a small unit would help. Any one have any suggestions on what I should buy?
This is the Vac I use on a somewhat daily basis, never had a problem with it. The detatchable blower is a plus as well. RIDGID 12-Gal. Wet/Dry Vac with Detachable Blower-WD1280 at The Home Depot If your looking for something smaller with the same amount of power then.. RIDGID 4-Gal. Wet/Dry Vac-WD4070 at The Home Depot
I also have the Metro Vac & Blo full size but it might be too long for your needs. They also sell the same machine but about half the size. Metro's really work great, have a really nice hose that is easy to maneuver, and their attachments are also great quality. The full size Metro has a long cloth bag which is easy empty and clean.. Never have to worry about buying paper disposable bags, etc... Good luck with your research.. Dan F
The Powerflite is another good option. Metro has three sizes if I remember correctly. They have the Vac N Blo, Vac N Blo full size and Vac N Blo Sr. The full size in my opinion is the perfect size. The bag holds quite a bit of debris compared to the smaller Vac N Blo and is still very portable.
i own a powerflite and would not have anything else. this puppy pulls everything out of carpet. size is good too. was recommended to me by Richy and i am forwarding the favor onward.
