VacMaster VWM510
The VacMaster VWM510 is winner of multiple garage vacuum cleaner contests. Without a doubt, it’s the best vacuum cleaner for the garage. It’s a wall-mounted wet-dry vacuum with 21 ft. of hose, a blower function, cord storage, hose storage, and accessory storage. It’s the only garage vac with a remote power switch on the cleaning end: you can turn it on and off from the handle. You can turn it on and off 21 ft. away from the motor, instead of walking back and forth to the motor. It’s very highly rated and well-liked, and it’s the one I bought for my garage.
