Agree....would be like pulling a cow by the tail in your living room. If you like that style, go with a Filter Queen or used Rainbow.

You can also get a Numatic for that style too. I agree with the others here as well for the Wet/Dry vacuums, these are mainly designed for outdoor, construction, or flood use. Now just like other expensive vacuums, there are some Wet/Dry vacuums like DeWalt, Bosch, or Festool that offer things that alot of others don't have. Some are not as big, some offer better filtration, some are really quiet, some offer a self cleaning filter, or some offer outlets that you can convert other powertools on for example.

More power doesn’t always equal better cleaning, especially on carpets. Heck, more power doesn’t necessarily mean more suction! And how much suction do you really need? It’s all well and good trying to find the most powerful vacuum you can, but it the suction is so strong that it’s difficult to use, then it’s a pointless avenue to go down.

My Wet/Dry vac is a Home Depot Bucket Head 5 Gallon. It's a vacuum motor that clips onto a 5 gallon bucket. It's $20 at Home Depot plus the $5 or so for the bucket, as the bucket is sold separately. It's top heavy, so you can't drag it around that easily and the hose is stiff. It's good for cleaning cars and sawdust.

Hello All,
I just bought this a few days ago and it sort of fits in this Thread. I was told they took it out of the box, tried it and then put it back in the box. Only one tool shows signs of use. The power head has never been used. On the Sears label that is attached to the box is the date of 1993. I bought it to replace a Bissell of about the sane design less the power head. The power head has a light in it and is heavy but I have no idea how good or bad it will clean a carpet. The pamphlet is stamped "Inspected by Shirley Wright" so it's just got to be good. Isn't she Carol Wright's sister? Oh I heard someone say no, LOL I am sorry to say I will never use this in the house as a vacuum. For markhenry I do not recommend nor would I use a Shop Vac as a vacuum for the home. So yes I agree with all whom have made comments. Plus, I believe they are all single stage motors and that is why they make so much noise. If I am wrong about that, sorry. I bought this Kenmore 5 Way Cleaning System, boy that sound great, to use to clean the carpets and upholstery in the cars as I think it should be good for that type job. Thank you for looking, Pete |

I love that Kenmore 5 way cleaning system, I've always wanted one of them since I saw them in the Sears catalogs. Actually I never knew they had a dry power nozzle until I saw them on here. The ones in my catalogs were just the Power Spray or Cleanmores that just had the cleaning head or an optional Spraymate nozzle for shampooing.
But I think that would be a great vacuum to use around the house, and it's in great shape too! That Hoover Aquamaster is interesting, too bad we didn't get those here that I knew of. Hoover mostly just had the upright Steamvacs as far as I'm aware and the portable cleaners. |

I'm no expert but commercial vacuums I have researched a lot. The best commercial vacuum albeit it's not a wet dry vacuum but commercial vacuum cleaner is proteam back pack vacuum. It runs 500-640 depending on the attachments. If I had 600 bucks I'd buy one. Here is link to the item on Amazon. I though I'd add my 2 cents another one to look into. VacLab has it ebay. Hope it helps.
