Kobalt 5-Gallon Wet/Dry

[muscle]

I see a lot of people like the Kobalt 5-gallon wet/dry. Is this vacuum powerful enough for cleaning carpets and drying vehicles?

It has the ability to suck water. It has 5 horsepower for such a small unit so it is plenty if power to extract water. I have a myteee extractor so I use that most of the time. The Kobalt is a great all around vacuum IMO.

I think it sucks, and blows for that matter.
Sorry had to say it.

The PF51 is an amazing, very powerful wet dry vac. I did a review of it on here:

I picked up one based off of Richy's review, one of the better investments that I have made.

I have used it as a blower, when my leaf blower went down. It worked ok, I just got tired of switching back and forth. I finally got a new leaf blower. I love the vac part of it.
