My ex-father-in-law had one of those. It was a tank. I sucked up a whole oak parquet floor with it when we were remodeling the house. Okay, to be clear, I dislodged the flooring from the underlying concrete slab with a shingle shovel and then sucked all the little 1 x 5-inch blocks up with the shop vac instead of picking them all up by hand. I kinda hated doing it but my insane (now-ex) wife wanted the entire downstairs to have the same flooring when we remodeled.

wet dry vacs
Got some from Shop Vac, Craftsman, Ridgid and one by Vacmaster. One that I really like is in the Craftsman Evolv series, it's a 5 gallon unit, and for a wet dry vac, it's actually pretty quiet. Also have a Craftsman 16 gallon unit. Interestingly, there are three hose sizes you can get for these kind of vacuums, there's a hose that takes the standard 1.25 attachments, a 1.5 diameter hose similar to backpack hoses, and a 2-1/2 diameter. Those large hoses aretoo difficult to work with, though they allow lots of airflow. I tend to use the smaller diameter hoses for most things.
