Vacmaster 6-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum (Detachable Blower) vs. 5-Gallon Tank: Surprising Cleaning Efficiency for Year-Round Use" We've tested both the Vacmaster 6-Gallon and 5-Gallon models, and the difference is clear. The 6-gallon tank feels like a game-changer-its larger capacity means fewer stops to empty, making it ideal for tackling big jobs like cleaning up after storms or deep-cleaning garage floors. The detachable blower adds unexpected versatility, letting us switch between suction and air power seamlessly. Whether we're scooping up wet messes or blasting away dry debris, the vacuum handles it all with surprising ease. Its compact design doesn't compromise performance, and the quiet operation (thanks to the blower's design) makes it a neighbor-friendly option. We're impressed by how efficiently it manages messes across seasons, proving that size and function can coexist. For those needing a reliable tool that adapts to life's unpredictable demands, the 6-gallon model is a standout choice.
