- Is 6 gallons enough for a garage?
- For routine sweeping, sawdust and small spills, yes. For a full basement flood or a large renovation, a 12 to 16 gallon model means fewer empties.
- Can it pick up water and dust in the same session?
- Not with the same setup. Dry pickup uses the cartridge filter and bag; wet pickup needs the filter removed and the tank emptied and dried before dry use again.
- Does it come with everything needed to start?
- It ships with three extension wands, a wet/dry nozzle, a cartridge filter and a collection bag, so it is ready for both wet and dry work out of the box.
- How does it compare with a smaller Shop-Vac?
- It offers more capacity and a blower port than the 2 to 4 gallon units, at the cost of weight and footprint. Larger 12 to 16 gallon models hold more but are harder to move around a workshop.
- What hose size does it use?
- It uses a 1-7/8-inch hose, the common Shop-Vac size, so most standard nozzles, brushes and wands fit.
