Karcher WD5, I destroyed 2 Dyson's and went with the karcher, it is sooooo powerful, and could suck a golf ball through a garden hose

I don't know of any large leaf vacuums for home use that would get the dust off the floor. But I think you'd be pretty happy with a good shop vacuum or mounted garage vacuum/central vacuum. Using my shop vac is much faster than sweeping and I don't stir up the dust like if you are using a leaf blower. I still like the leaf blower for blowing dust and cobwebs out of corners and stuff. I really like the Karcher wet/dry vacuums like the Karcher WD 5P and WD 6PS. They have a hose and wand slightly wider then 1.25 inches which makes it easier to use than the really wide 2.5 inch hose/wands, but it does make it less useful for sucking up super wide stuff like large leaves. I still have no problems with the eucalyptus leaves around my garage, but just something to keep in mind. These Karchers are also quieter than the average shop vac. A good garage vacuum or central vacuum can be mounted in your garage if you want a long hose and you don't want to pull a shop vac behind you. What do you think?

I have been using a Karcher wet & Dry for the past 5yrs or so. Never had any problem. Perhaps it's a fluke because I've never seen it recommended here.

The kärcher wet and dry vac is one of the best purchases I've ever made. For the price it's amazing, better than any expensive vacuum cleaner I've owned. I think they also sell HEPA filters for it on their website.

I agree with this advice. I have the same setup as well, where I have one wired vacuum (a Karcher) for deep cleans and the other a handheld Dyson for quick cleans.

I have a karcher wet vacuum. Works the same way, there is no need for water filtration since the waste water is seperated from the clean. Gets things super clean, but honestly, it is not used frequently. I only get it out when there is spills on the couch or carpet.
