My house has an unfinished basement that houses my washer and dryer. This shop vac is perfect for cleaning up laundry lint, leaves that find there way in and the cobwebs that accumulate. I get some water in the basement during heavy rainstorms, this vac gets that cleaned up in a snap. It holds more debris in its canister than I thought when I first ordered it, so that’s a definite plus. It is easy to go from basement to garage to clean the car.
