Shop-Vac 8 Gallon 6.0 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vacuum vs WORKPRO 2.5 Gallon Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum

Buy the Shop-Vac if you need serious suction and a big tank for garage, workshop or job-site messes. Buy the WORKPRO if you want a light, compact vacuum for car interiors, small spills and quick cleanups around the house. The Shop-Vac's 6.0 peak HP motor, 8-gallon tank and 7-foot hose move far more debris per pass, and its 4.6 rating from 364 owners backs that up. The WORKPRO is easier to carry and store at 6.39 lb with a foldable handle, but its 2.5-gallon tank and 3 peak HP motor fill up fast and pull less.

• Choose the Shop-Vac if you are cleaning a garage, workshop or renovation and want strong suction with a large tank that rarely needs emptying.
• Choose the WORKPRO if you want a light, portable vacuum for car seats, small spills and tight storage.
