My wife vacuumed up some dirt and small nails with my Shop Vac "stainless steel contractor model", without the filter, and ruined the motor.http://www.shopvac.com/wet-dry-vacs/vac-details.aspx?vacId=254&vacSKU=962-48-10&showpopup=false
I had this for about 9 years and was very impressed. As it is one of the most used items in my house and garage, I thought I would take the next step up and see about a WAP/ALTO. So I rented one, an WAP SQ15. While it was unbelivebly quiet, the suction power was not near what the Shop Vac was. I am going to take it back and rent the bigger version, just to see. A $200.00 Shop Vac smoked a $500.00 WAP?! Should I be surprised? Suggestions?
