Fewest fragile parts/accesories, best suction, best thout design.

The strongest are by Ridgid/Emerson, such as the Sears Kenmores. I
don't know if Home Depot sill sells this make. If you want something
that can't tip, get a low boy version. And if you don't wear ear
plugs, either get the quiet model or build a muffler from PVC. The
only bad thing about these Ridgid vacs is that the hose just presses in
and can pop out. Otherwise get a Shop Vac brand.

At least one brand, Genie, requires different filters for wet and dry,
and the wet filter is just sponge and doesn't block dust very well.
