Frequently asked questions
What size wet/dry vacuum do I need?
A 4 to 6 gallon unit covers most garage and car jobs, while 12 gallons and up suits workshops and renovation debris. Bigger tanks mean fewer empties but more weight.
Can it pick up water?
Only models rated for wet pickup should handle liquids, and you must remove the paper filter first. Check the manual before vacuuming anything wet.
How loud are they?
Most run between 70 and 90 decibels, so hearing protection is wise for long sessions. Larger motors tend to be louder than compact ones.
