1 Gallon Cordless Wet/Dry Vac

We have a 1.5 gallon shop vac, it sucks. 😁 I've seen a 1 gallon version.

Kirby upstairs and a Shop-Vac downstairs. The Kirby is an absolute beast, worth every penny.

I have a Great Pyrenees, and many GP owners caved and just went with a shop vac for the dog areas because their fur can become too much to manage.

A wet/dry vac (shop vac) sounds like is what he needs.

There is no vacuum on the market that will not clog if used improperly. If she will not accept that she needs to be more careful, vacuum slower, avoid large debris, etc., she will be disappointed with anything we recommend. I say this as someone with an aunt who has blown thru every brand at her local vacuum shop, and have customers that treat every appliance like a hammer. All that said, a ShopVac, or other wet/dry vacuum usually will have a larger hose diameter which is a bit harder to clog. They are loud, bulky, filter like a colander, but they are cheap and designed to be used for large volumes of debris. Their price of around $100 may make it worth considering.

I used to use a ShopVac wet and dry unit, but when I got to try a Dyson for my cars, I just had to get one for them.

Shop vac it’s a serious fur machine

I have 5 different vacuums and they all have a different purpose. But my little shop vac is the best one I have. It’s the one used to do the dirty work like clean out my pellet stove, I used it the other day to clean out my water softener tank. It sucked up 20+ pounds of wet salt crystals. But I couldn’t imagine using it on my carpet , that would be so much more work than using a push vacuum but maybe there’s an attachment available to do that.
