I just got a new shop vac from Walmart for 48 bucks, I use it at home at it works great!
Why do people prefer paying more for vacuum cleaners, when they can use this great one for a fraction of the cost?
Just curious...

You need additional insurance coverage to use a Shop Vac at home.

Sorry, just kidding.

Because the do not filter as good as a regular house vac and they are also hard to pull around the house and up the stairs and they are alot noiser. I love the shop vac for cleaning out the cars and the garage though and also they are good if you have a big spill over from water they really come in handy!
D'oh!
Are you kidding? I use mine all the time. Its great. But, to get pet hair out of carpet, I shop vac first, vacuum cleaner second.

Shop Vacs are great for their intended purpose, but that is not for everyday house cleaning. Primarily because they have no filtration to keep dust and dirt from venting back into your house while you're vacuuming. You're simply relocating the dust.

Yes, vacuums are way overpriced and advertised beyond reason.
And wet vacs, with the right filter, are good for many things.
But an upright, with a beater bar, is the best ever for carpets.
