If you're interested in one with the wet-dry option be sure to get one with a pump. The collection container gets really heavy with 15-20 gallons of water in it. And scooping it out with a bucket isn't much fun either!

Ever since I blew out the pilot light on the water heater while vacuuming the cellar floor, I've thought of the advantages of a vac that exausts upwards instead of pararell to the floor. I could probably find a couple of pieces of PVC with an elbow joint to redirect the exaust. If you'll be vacuuming a lot of water, find a vac with a bulkhead fitting that'll let you drain the cannister without having to pick it up and tip it.

I have no opinion, but several others in different groups have recommended the Fein.

I got the best one Sears sells. I beleive it is the 5 1/2 hp model. I use in on my dewalt planer, band saw etc. and it does a fine job. I think it is made by Shop-Vac Co.
