Yes, You Need a Different Vacuum For Different Tasks — Here's the Breakdown

If you have a garage or basement, you'll need a wet/dry vac at some point. This Karcher WD5/P Wet/Dry Vacuum ($180) can hold 6.6 gallons of dirt, muck, and whatever else you may find in your space. What's really clever about this model is that the filter is housed above the tank — a space-saving measure that also allows the filter to run whether you're vacuuming wet or dry messes.
