The first question to ask yourself when you're buying a wet-dry vac is, How much power/capacity do I really need? The night we moved in to our new house, a freak hailstorm flooded our basement. I borrowed my father-in-law's industrial-sized vacuum to clean up the mess, and it was just too big to maneuver in my basement and I almost broke my back lugging the eight-gallon tank up the stairs to empty it out.
For most home applications, I think three-five gallons is about right, so this six-gallon model would be appropriate if you anticipate the need for more capacity but don't feel like you need the extra power of a four-HP or better model. Even with the slightly higher capacity, it's still small enough to be maneuverable in cramped quarters.
The Quiet-Deluxe series, as the name suggests, are very quiet indeed, which makes this a good choice for home use. It has a blower feature for use in the yard, and comes with a selection of useful accessories. My one complaint about this model is that the hose was a little narrow, especially where it enters the vacuum. While I never had a problem with clogging, it seemed like this could be an issue depending on what you're trying to clean up.
Other than that, this is a great little vacuum with enough power and capacity for most home or small-business applications.--Josh Dettweiler

had to replace just out of warrenty: 
My Shop Vac lasted just long enough, with occasional use only and not abused, to be out of warranty when it died. Went and replaced it with a RIGID, which has a lifetime warranty. The difference in operation and quality is obvious when you use both. Buyer beware.
Disappointing:
The hose on this model is a much smaller diameter than the larger Shop-Vacs, and often clogs at the worst possible spots. The wheels falling off was also a pain--until I screwed them to the base. The biggest problem, however, is that after a few months the filter will not stay in place, and dust spews out all over the place. I'm currently looking for a bigger/better model.
Dust blower:
The filter design on the vacuum is defective. It consists of a sheet of filter paper which you drape over a cylinder and secure by sliding a big o-ring collar over it.
No matter how good you slide the ring on, it is only a matter of time until the ring slides off. When this happens, you'll know, as the vacuum spurts out an amazing amount of dust. We used this vacuum for about a year during many home renovation projects and I can't count how many times it has blown dust all over our house. We even got...more info
shop-vac 6 gal 2 hp wet/dry vacuum: 
I returned the vacuum because the nozzle and hose were too small to be useful for cleaning leaves, etc. in the garden.
