Choosing a new vac

[DogRescuer]

Hi guys im looking for a new shop vac but I understand in researching them that horse power is not the most important spec to look at

Can someone help me how do I tell what the suction pressure rating is and how to read it?

I know a lot of you use a ridged thatts cool but I want the biggest bang for my buck.

please help.

I love all my ridgid vacuums. They SUCK!! Mine is similar to the one above minus the wheels. I got it on sale for $39 instead of the one shown above and I bought 2. They are little but have 5hp and they are great! You can't go wrong, I would stay away from the shopvac brand, bad experiences!

I have the DP shopvac that AG sells that was a gift to me for Christmas. I haven't used the wet suction side of it but I'm extremely impressed with the dry side. Amazing suction and it is VERY quiet. I'd recommend if you have the $$. It's easily capable of picking up a car mat with the suction if the mat isn't attached in some way. The hose screws in the the main unit and is a nice length. Lots of details they go right with the unit.

I have the same vac and got that kit as well. The kit is a bit pricey but worth it for the one tool and the hose is nicer too. That hose is less likely to scratch/mar the paint than the normal one.

Yes I did the hose is great and is worth the money and the longer wand helps a lot.
