I need a new Shopvac as mine died last month. Does anyone recommend a certain brand/model? I want one that has the option to use a bag so I'm not having to constantly clean that awful round filter inside. I will only be using this new Shopvac to clean out our cars, not for any sort of construction or drywall dust. Also preferable under a hundred dollars as my budged wont allow me to spend that much money on one. Thanks guys!

I can't recommend a Rigid. We have a 16 gallon that is probably only about 10 years old, and it has been extremely loud from day 1. It hasn't been used excessively or abused, and I think has only been used to pick up water once or twice, and now has an electrical burning smell when it is running. The hose has split, and the attachments are a pretty poor excuse if you ask me.

I think even the newer models of Shop Vac brand are good. We just got at work the 14 gallon model. Says it can pump water also. I am quite impressed with it. It can use bags and it came with one as well as a nice filter. The bags are easy to change also as the entire top of the tank is open when you take the motor off, and it has a removable holder for the bag. It also came with the larger hose and a few attachments.
It was a little over $100, but for your purposes there are loads of other models that are cheaper and may also use a more suitable 1-1/4" hose so can use standard attachments for car cleaning. Also it is quieter than the older ones like I have. I think they have improved the sound insulation and exhaust system over older models. | ||
