Summary: 4 Stars
This 16-gallon wet/dry vac is a powerhouse with a 5 horsepower, 10.6 amp motor that can vacuum a sizable area without having to lug or drag the thing around. The 12 foot hose's thickness of 1 1/2 inches means this thing can suck up some pretty big items, including a few you might not want to vacuum (make sure your watch is firmly attached to your wrist, lest it get sucked into the hose). Of course, if it does get sucked in, you could just root around inside the canister for it, though I would recommend wearing a mask while doing that.
It contains a HEPA filter designed to capture particles as big as .3 microns. A micron, or micrometer is 1/1000 of a millimeter. In more standard terms, that's 0.0003 millimeters. In other words, very, very tiny, an item that most likely cannot be seen with the naked eye.
That's all well and good, as most people tend to aim the hose at items they can see such as dirt or sawdust, so it's good to find a workshop vacuum cleaner that can suck up things you can't see, but could still be breathed in and possibly cause lung problems later in life.
This is a "wet/dry" vacuum, meaning that it can vacuum things that are wet or dry, and can switch between the two without stopping. That's where I draw the line. I don't have anything wet I need to vacuum, and I wouldn't want to mix sawdust with something wet (I can't think of anything other than wet leaves, but why you'd want to vacuum those is beyond me). The other thing I don't like about that is I'd be afraid of not knowing the power cord has a small fray in it and getting it in water.
At the very least, the vacuum might be toast or the fuse box might get burned, but at the very worst, I'd be a crispy critter.
Of course, my personal fears are no fault of this vacuum cleaner's.
Above all though, this vacuum cleaner is quiet and can vacuum 40 pounds of dust and debris in its sixteen gallon canister. However, I never let it get that full before disposing it of its contents. The power cord itself is 15 feet long, add to that the 12 feet of its hose and it has an effective range of 27 feet and that's not even adding the extended range an extension cord would yield.

The Dustless HEPA Wet/Dry Vacuum employs a certified HEPA filter to meet EPA RRP lead-safe guidelines. It is certified to IEST-RP-CC001.5 insuring a minimum filtration efficiency of 99.97% at 0.3 micron. Be safe - go Dustless.
Switch from Wet to Dry Operation Without Stopping
Unlike other HEPA vacuums, the Dustless HEPA Wet/Dry Vacuum can be used to vacuum up water without fear of getting your valuable HEPA filter wet. A baffle wall inside the canister keeps water from reaching the HEPA filter, under normal operation. Go back and forth between wet and dry operation without stopping to change filters or make other adjustments.
Quiet and Powerful
The Dustless HEPA Wet/Dry Vacuum emits only 81 decibels of noise and has a powerful motor that runs at 24,140 RPMs that produces 76.9-inch water lift at 126-CFM. The 16 gallon canister and micro pre-filter bag support optimum air flow while holding up to 40 pounds of dirt and debris. Other vacuums lose suction after ingesting just several pounds of dust.
