I'm really impressed with this shop vac; it has great suction and is easy to use. While it comes with a dust bag for the dry vacuum feature, I don't see the need to use it. I simply dump the contents of the canister after I've used it. I like that I can store the hose in the empty canister with all of the attachments stored along the bottom of the unit. The latches that connect the top motor portion to the canister could be a little stronger, but isn't a show stopper for buying it. I would highly recommend this wet/dry vacuum.
