Conclusion

Besides picking up wet/dry stuff around the house, the Shop Vac is a handy tool to have in case you should get hit with a large rainstorm and water collects in your basement or garage. If you are planning on doing some home remodeling, you might want to consider buying a drywall sanding kit. Or, if you need to blow or mulch leaves in your yard, flowerbed or driveway, you may want to consider buying the mulching kit. Both of these accessories must be purchased separately because they do not come with any machines. Both of these accessories are available here.
