6 Best Shop Vacuums and Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaners of 2024 - Reviewed

From flooded basements to messy garages, these are the best shop vacuum cleaners.
This isn’t the most powerful vacuum, but we loved its versatility, and it performed well in our dirt-and-debris tests.
For its size, this six-gallon vac offers impressive suction. But we found its filter tough to remove, and it lacks a dedicated water attachment.
We liked that this model comes with task-specific nozzles and extension wands, though it’s a little bulky and difficult to store.
The nine-gallon Ridgid seems like a bang-for-buck proposition on paper, but its extra horsepower doesn’t yield the kind of performance you’d hope for.
The Shop-Vac lacks power, although it comes with three cleaning attachments including a crevice, two wet-pickup nozzles, and extension wands for all three.
The strange design of this wet/dry vacuum made it difficult to maneuver by its hose.
