Best Shop Vacs for 2025, Tested - Car and Driver
March 27, 2024 - If that's the case, this Micro Shop-Vac is the one to grab. It's super compact and easy to move around—perfect for storing out of the way. Size is, of course, the one drawback. But if you need it only for occasional spills, why spend money on a big one? The small size does translate to struggles against larger chunks, and an angled inlet to the drum doesn't help either.

July 20, 2024 -
Hey guys I just wanted some advice on choosing a shop vac. I recently bought a pressure washer to use on our cars and now realize I don’t have a nice shop vac (just a small harbor freight 1gal that does work pretty good). I’d like to not have to go to any of the local auto car washes anymore to use their vacuums to clean the dirt and spilled French fries my dog and twerps leave under my truck seats. I know it’s probably unrealistic to expect the super suction like those at the newer car washes, but what’s the closest I can get and keep in the garage?
Do I want high horsepower? Does that always mean higher suction? Does size of the canister matter? Is the Rigid 12gal with 5.0peak hp gonna be stronger than the 4gal same hp? I buy most my stuff off marketplace when I find good deals, unless the price of new is good, so just wondering what I should be looking for :) Thanks in advance

I can't recommend a particular model. But I personally like using the biggest shop vac I have, then I put two lengths of hose on it. The first being the big stock hose, the second necked down to the smaller shop vac size (1 1/4"). The smaller hose/tips suck harder, are easier to maneuver in the interior and with two hoses you don't end up pulling the shop vac over every 5 minutes! I have dogs that shed and have found this works the best of what I've tried.
