The Sears Wet Dry Vacs are pretty hard too beat. I destroyed one by forgetting to put the float in that shuts
down the suction when it gets full of water. The last one, a 16 gallon Sears, I bought has been around here
for about 12 years and I've used it numerous time to vacuum up the water in our leaky basement and I roll
it over to the basement drain and unscrew the plug and let it drain out. However poured our basement floor
must have made it as flat as possible because water can be sitting 1/4"- 1/2" deep at spots and the water
can't find it's way to the drain.
Make sure you get one with the 2 1/2" hose, stay away from those little 1 1/4" hoses as you may want to
use for vacuuming up leaves in the Fall and stuff. Rarely does the 2 1/2" hose clog.
