What is a Wet Dry Vacuum?
A shop vac is a handy cleaning tool for garages, workshops and jobsites. Their heavy-duty design is great for cleaning up most messes, with versatile functions that can handle water, sawdust, and other common solids found around a worksite. Look for models with blower ports, accessory storage, built-in drains and caster wheels to make easy work of difficult jobs.
Which wet dry vacuum you choose depends on your workspace and everyday cleaning needs. Explore a few common features to find a reliable wet dry vac cleaner for any task.
Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner Capacity
Tackle heavy debris and busy workspaces with a large tank wet dry vac, with 10 gallon or more options available. The increased capacity means less time spent emptying the tank, making them a popular choice for busy shops and garages. Although normal upright vacuums are home staples, options with a couple of gallons or even a 1-gallon shop vac can be handy in small homes or apartments for larger jobs.
How Much Power Does a Shop Vac Need?
Vacuums with higher horsepower are a good choice for dealing with lots of water, glass, or metal bits. A small wet vac still offers plenty of suction and tends to be a good choice for lighter jobs around the home.
You’ll also want to consider the air volume of your shop vac. Measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), air volume lets you know how much air moves through the vacuum. Ace offers wet/dry vacs with lower ratings for light-duty jobs, as well as shop vacs with CFM ratings close to 200 for heavy-duty affairs.
Corded vs Cordless Shop Vac
We offer cordless, battery-powered wet dry vacs as well as the traditional corded model. If you're working outdoors or taking your wet dry vac to a job site, a cordless wet dry vac offers the distance and mobility necessary. If your cleaning tends to be mainly in your shop or garage, a simple corded shop vacuum cleaner gives you the sustained power you need for everyday cleanup.
