Hey folks,
I'm a new homeowner looking to pick up a shop vac. Rigid seems highly recommended, and I've seen some advice to get the highest peak HP possible (with the caveat that a 20A circuit can only really deliver 2.5hp). I see Home Depot has two different Rigid 6.5hp vacs, one with a detachable blower and the other without. Is one of these recommended over the other?

Also, is 16gal TOO big? I haven't gone to the store to check these out in person. This thing will mostly hang out in my garage, but I also plan on dragging it out to my deck when I sand/refinish.
Thanks!
