    Good Vacuum for Personal Use

    Need your advice on what is the good Personal-Use-Vacuum which I can purchase at local store?

    Please! include the model & store`s name

    BTW, should I choose the one with blower option?


    Thanks in advance !

    Are you thinking of a Wet / Dry vac that can change into a blower? There are a few brands that all work fine with different HPs, Gallons, and attachments.

    Check out the Rigids, Craftmans, and Wet / Dry vac from some of the Hardware stores

    I have a 2.5 HP Craftmans wet/dry vac, and have never been at a loss power. I see them at Orchard Suppy, Lowes, Home Depot, and every where else.
    I do not have the blower on this one but would have got that if I was buying again

    I got the vacuum that Dwayne sells. It`s also a blower. I love it. It`s small and relatively light and you can carry it arouund with you when blowing the water off the car. Sits down on the floor even behind the front seats to vacuum the seats and then I just sit it on the seats to do the floors. It`s got plenty of attachments too. I`m very pleased with it. Unfortunately, the wife has taken to using it in the house now too.

    Thanks for all replies. I finally got the Ridgid WD4050 Portable Vacuum. It works great for my taste. It has the blower port. Is the blower feature of this machine good?

    It also includes the Diffuser Mufler but I don`t know what it is for? any idea?


    thanks All.

    I bought a Shop-Vac 6 Gallon, 3 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac at Lowes. Item #: 215727 Model: 93006-11. It works great. It has a blower port, but I never use it. I bought a 18` foot hose at Sears and interchanged it w/ my old hose to give me extra length so I don`t have to haul it around as much. I`m very pleased w/ it.
