I was pleasently surprised with the Bissell multiclean auto wet dry vac. I have mainly used it indoor on my hardwood floors and area rugs. I have children and pets so needed a vacuum that could clean up the mess of both while being lightweight and not extremely loud. This vacuum passed the test! It is light enough to take it out in the garage and clean out our cars and trunks. Thank you for saving me a trip to the car wash just for the vacuum!
