Wet/dry vacs: for big jobs, it's in the bag.(Buyers guide)(Table)
Whether it's sawdust in your basement or a spill in your kitchen, wet/dry vacs are built to handle the toughest household messes. Some models shoulder those tasks with finesse. But others we tested could add to your dirty work.
Dust bags that surround the filters inside are one way some of these heavy-duty vacuums lighten your cleaning load. The bags, $3 to $8, keep the insides cleaner for quicker conversion from dry to wet cleanup. They also help the $10 to $20 cartridge filters maintain suction and should help them last longer by keeping them freer from dust. Several top performers include the bags or offer them as an option.
