Is the 5-gallon tank big enough?

It suits garage, car and small workshop jobs. For large renovation cleanup you will empty it often.

Does it work for wet spills?

Yes. It is a wet/dry vacuum and switches to wet pickup; remove the dust bag first.

Can it blow leaves and debris?

Yes. The hose mounts on the exhaust side to convert it to a blower.

What filters does it use?

It takes a high-efficiency cartridge filter and dust bag rated to 1 micron.

It is loud, as high-airflow shop vacuums are. Hearing protection is sensible for long sessions.

What comes in the box?

The vacuum, kink-resistant hose, power cord, cartridge filter, dust bag and 9 accessories including car, utility and crevice tools.

Our take on the Vacmaster Professional Beast Series 5-Gallon 5.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vacuum

The Vacmaster Professional Beast Series is a 5-gallon wet/dry vacuum built around a 5.5 peak HP motor rated at 320 air watts. It uses a high-efficiency cartridge filter and dust bag that capture particles down to 1 micron, and it ships with 9 accessories plus 25 feet of reach from a kink-resistant hose and cord. It converts to a blower and stores its hose, cord and tools onboard. It suits garage, workshop and car-cleaning work where a compact canister with strong suction matters more than quiet operation. Against shop vacuums like the Ridgid and Craftsman 5-gallon class, it stands out on airflow and filtration but is heavier and louder than most.
