Don't know, maybe this won't necessarily be the most popular opinion, but I'm a big fan of Craftsman, I actually got one last year and I couldn't be an happier with it. https://popular.reviews/wet-dry-vacuum/#1_CRAFTSMAN_17595
I generally get my stuff from manufacturers that I've previously had contact with, and I had some other tools in the garage from this brand and was pleased with them. It's a 16-gallon model so I empty it only from time to time, and it pulls up anything without flinching.
