Amazon.com Product Review
The first question to ask yourself when you're buying a wet-dry vac is, How much power/capacity do I really need? The night we moved in to our new house, a freak hailstorm flooded our basement. I borrowed my father-in-law's industrial-sized vacuum to clean up the mess, and it was just too big to maneuver in my basement and I almost broke my back lugging the eight-gallon tank up the stairs to empty it out.For most home applications, I think three-five gallons is about right, so this six-gallon model would be appropriate if you anticipate the need for more capacity but don't feel like you need the extra power of a four-HP or better model. Even with the slightly higher capacity, it's still small enough to be maneuverable in cramped quarters. The Quiet-Deluxe series, as the name suggests, are very quiet indeed, which makes this a good choice for home use. It has a blower feature for use in the yard, and comes with a selection of useful accessories. My one complaint about this model is that the hose was a little narrow, especially where it enters the vacuum. While I never had a problem with clogging, it seemed like this could be an issue depending on what you're trying to clean up. Other than that, this is a great little vacuum with enough power and capacity for most home or small-business applications.--Josh Dettweiler What's in the Box

I have not been too happy with this vacuum. It works, but the filter is a 3-piece set (sponge, cloth, ring) and the ring keeps falling off, blowing dust everywhere.
The hose is easily clogged because it gets smaller at a fitting just before going into the tank.
The power switch doesn't seem like it will last very long on my model. And my last complaint, it doesn't come with a crevice tool, which is what I usually use, so I had to buy one. Isn't that what most people use? (maybe it's just me..)
UPDATE 10/07 - Yes, my power switch stopped functioning and this will be going into the weekly trash pickup. I will be shopping for a different brand at the big-box store.

This model wasn't a good choice for me.
I didn't want a bigger capacity model but I can certainly use more power!
The included accessories also are very limited.

I returned the vacuum because the nozzle and hose were too small to be useful for cleaning leaves, etc. in the garden.

The filter design on the vacuum is defective. It consists of a sheet of filter paper which you drape over a cylinder and secure by sliding a big o-ring collar over it.
No matter how good you slide the ring on, it is only a matter of time until the ring slides off. When this happens, you'll know, as the vacuum spurts out an amazing amount of dust. We used this vacuum for about a year during many home renovation projects and I can't count how many times it has blown dust all over our house. We even got into the habit of checking the filter before every time we turned on, but it still happens some times.
It just happened again: dust blown all over my kitchen.
This puppy is getting sold for pennies on the dollar on craigslist and I'm going out to buy another. What a cheap product destined for the landfill.
