i think the only thing that thing has over a shop vac is size and maneuverability. most of the detailers on here run with shop vacs


...it would be nice to have one though

It sucks (100-in.wg.) Seriously, the best vac out there (had mine for 5+ years)

Maneuverability - buy the wheels that will help with maneuverability

Truthfully, Ive used a Rigid (Home Depot) wet/dry, forever.
Can you suck up a spilled coffee or soda with that? Im not knocking the VB, I just think the shop vac (wet /drys) are a little more practical for todays detailers........
Jon, how are the decibels?
Shop vacs are not known for being "quiet"......

I personally just use a Craftsman wet/dry vac and a Mytee Lite II. That in itself pretty much covers everything in cleaning up interiors.

I still have my shop vac for wet stuff and the odd thing but seldom use it now that I put in central vac and an outlet right at the garage/shop door and have 50 feet of hose.

Quieter and way more powerful than any of the shop vacs I have had.

Yeah that's how much it is retail but you can actually get it cheaper. I actually got mine for $400 used and have been happy ever since.
