I"m looking for a shop vac and was wondering if anyone could recommend
one they were using and/or one they were displeased with.

I'll be using it mainly to clean up dry messes. Dirt, sawdust.
Any suggestions?

Also, I have a ?sawdust? collector that connects to my table saw ( I
inherited it so I don't know anything about it.)
I was wondering if there was something that one could put in line to
collect larger pieces of sawdust or wood CHIPS. It makes a lot of
noise sometimes when it sucks up larger pieces of wood. I've also
been using it to clean up my work areas.....one of the reasons I
thought maybe I'd better buy a shop vac then mess this thing up.

(I'll still need a shop vac regardless.)

All help appreciated.

One thing to consider is one that has a built in pump-may cost a bit more
but its worth every penny. During the recent episodes of water in the
basement etc. my wet/dry Vac picked up the water and pumped it out at the
same time--no need to carry/push the Vac and then lift and empty. 12 Gal
Shop Vac picks up at the rate of 10 GPM and pumps out at 5 GPM. So when
working a full capacity would fill up in about 2 min and then it took approx
2 min to empty. Otherwise, for the majority of the time it just sucked and
pumped.
