I liked the look of this vacuum and lightness of it. It has a powerful suction and can pick up most things. There were some design flaws I noticed when using. A lot of what I would use this for involves outside dirty jobs. I was trying to suck up leaves on our trampoline and corners of a basement well. the opening was so small and some passage ways that I couldn't get small leaves to go in very well because they would clog up the spout. There's a couple spots that go very narrow so I would only really see a use for this with wet things or dirt particles. I think most projects I would use a wet dry vac on would involve chunky outdoor things like leaves, pine needles, small rocks. This machine would not be build for this as they just get stuck. So a great vacuum if you are only using for the said mentioned things but
