This is just my two cents, but I have hardwood floors in my house and I just use a 5 HP craftsman shop vac I picked up on black friday for 40$ and it does the job just fine.

5HP is 3728W - I guess your house is wired for higher amperages than mine.

Its the usual Craftsman "Peak HP" bullshit.

Shopvacs are loud as hell, don't have beater bars, and do a poo poo job of filtering.

I've got an old Panasonic canister (1990-something) that still works after two decades of abuse. We'll stick with that until the three-stage cyclonics come down in price.

Ah right; that makes some degree of sense. (I'don't think I've ever seen a Craftsman product. :norway:

and all that.)
