What to Look For in a Commercial Wet Vacuum?
There are a few things you should consider when buying your wet vacuum. Here’s what to keep in mind:
– You want the machine to be powerful enough for the type of work it will be doing (such as mopping up spills or removing liquids from carpeting). More expensive machines have more power but they also tend to be heavier.
– The tank size will also help determine how much dirt and water a machine can hold at any given time, which is important for commercial use where you could be cleaning up an entire floor or building in one go.
– A wet vacuum that comes with various attachments will make it easier to do different types of work with only one machine.
