I have my 20% Home Depot coupon to use at Lowes so I'm trying to get as much as I can when I go in the next couple of days. I'm getting a PC, and I'd like to get a shop vac. (I'd also like to spend as little money as possible).



Is this vaccum sufficient for most of my detailing needs?

Would it be much better to get this one?

I don't know if the little extras are really all that necessary, but will the 1HP make a noticable difference?
 
i bought a 2hp 5 gallon(i think) shopvac from walmart and it works great for cleaning up inside the car.



i went to lowes this weekend to pick up a PC and had no problem using the coupon. another member was reportedly rejected by a manager tho. and when you buy multiple items with the coupon, the cashier have to manually price-adjust every item. i held up the line for a good 15 minutes cus i was buying a bunch of other stuff like hose fittings. the items all had a "sold as-is" under them on my receipt tho.
 
I have the WD4050 and it's a great vac. The only negative is that my local HD stores don't stock the replacement filter so I have to get it direct from Ridgid. Otherwise, it's more than adequate. Make sure to get the wall-mountable version. It comes with the longer hose and some additional accesories.
