Garage Vacuum Cleaners

We focused on: suction and motor power (how well the unit picks up heavy debris and water), capacity (how often you’ll need to empty it), wet/dry capability (important if you deal with spills), hose length and included attachments (reach and versatility), mounting options and footprint (wall-mounted versus portable), build quality and noise level (durability and comfort during use), battery/runtime for cordless models, warranty and motor life, and real-world customer feedback. We also considered value — ensuring the price you pay lines up with performance and accessories.

The unboxing, assembly and installation were incredibly easy. The machine has well-designed on-board accessory storage, a blower and a wet-vac function. The vacuum cleaner hangs neatly on the wall, but I can also pull it off to use the wheels. I have 20 ft. of cord, 21 ft. of hose, and a remote on-off switch. I love this vacuum cleaner for my garage.

This year the top two wet-vacs for the garage check all the boxes. I included the VacMaster and DeWalt for best wet vacuum cleaners. I also threw in the Craftsman because it’s equivalent to the DeWalt.
