What is the difference between the two filters?

The cylindrical filter traps micron-level dust for dry pickup. The expanding sponge filter is for wet cleanup and flood water.

How does the self-cleaning button work?

One button shakes dirt loose from the filter to restore suction and reduce clog-related loss. It saves you from removing and washing the filter as often.

Is it good for car interiors?

Yes. The sofa nozzle, long flat nozzle and three-piece extension tubes are aimed at trunks, seats, vents, cup holders and door compartments.

How big is the tank and how much does it weigh?

The tank holds 8 gallons and the unit weighs about 11 lb, so it is light enough to carry up stairs but large enough for big messes.

What comes in the box?

The vacuum, a wet-dry nozzle, a sofa nozzle, a long flat nozzle and three-piece extension tubes. The hose is 7 ft and the cord is 9.8 ft.

What does the warranty cover?

A 90-day limited warranty. That is shorter than the one- to three-year coverage common on competing shop vacs.

Our take on the Mecale 8-Gallon 6 Peak HP Wet Dry Shop Vacuum

The Mecale is an 8-gallon canister shop vacuum with a 6 peak HP, 900-watt motor and a metal tank. Its standout feature is a one-button self-cleaning dual-filter setup: a cylindrical filter for fine dust and an expanding sponge filter for flood cleanup. A 7 ft hose, 9.8 ft cord and 360-degree swivel casters make it maneuverable around a garage or jobsite. It suits homeowners and tradespeople who want wet and dry pickup in one unit, though its 90-day warranty is shorter than the multi-year coverage on many rival shop vacs.
