Our take on the Hyper Tough 3 Gallon 3.5 HP Corded Electric Wet/Dry Vacuum

The Hyper Tough 3 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum is a small corded shop vacuum with a 3-gallon tank and a 3.5 HP motor. It weighs about 8 lb and stands roughly 17.5 inches tall, so it moves easily between the garage, car and house. The washable filter and 6.5 ft cord cover basic wet and dry pickup. Against larger 5 to 12 gallon shop vacuums it trades tank size and hose length for portability, and owners rate it well as a light-duty second vacuum rather than a whole-workshop machine.
