You haven’t lived until you’ve gleefully sucked up a spill on your floor with a vacuum, and the Vacmaster Wet/Dry Vacuum is here to make it happen. On sale for an impressive $50 off, this vac can handle up to 12 gallons of wet and dry messes at once. The whole thing rolls around on wheels, making it more than easy to use.

“Two labs in the house. Brick and hardwood floors. Dog hair galore. The Shark just could not handle this and the regular household dirt,” a five-star fan said. “Works like a champ, my wife loves it, and so do I when she lets me take it out to the garage. 2″ hose never clogs and there’s a variety of attachments that come with it.”
