Help me pick out a new shop vac

[LoiG37]

I'm deciding between these two vacs, anyone have any experience with these? any other vac in this price range ($50-$80) you would recommend? thanks

Craftsman Clean N Carry® 4 gal. Wet-Dry Vac, 5.0 Peak hp

HD also has the Ridgid shop vacs as well...

I'm a fan of rigid, mainly because over labor day they had a 4 gallon for 19.99

 

[BigAl3]

both of these are around $70 IIRC at your local HD...

If you need a portable one then this is my favorite RIDGID 4.5 Gallon Pro Pack Wet/Dry Vac - WD4522 at The Home Depot

Go with a RIDGID vac. It comes with a lifetime warranty and works totally awsome.

So far I am in love with it. On sale for $60 at my local Pep Boys. It is excellent wet/dry, plenty of power, fairly light and comes with 5 year warranty. :2thumbs:

Its nice but 5 yr versus lifetime is a no brainer

I have had a Craftsman 16 gallon capacity 6hp wet/dry vac or just about 10 years. The only thing I have done to it is replace the filter.
