Boat carpet wet dry vacuum

 Hi guys, I've just brought a new boat and was chasing some recommendations on a good wet dry vacuum to use on the carpet. I've seen the karcher tradie vacs at Bunnings does anyone use one of these?

 

The missus wasn't too happy I used the Dyson stick vac! Haha

I got one from Bunnings. Not a Karcher though. Was 90 odd dollars and does the trick. Is all black, can't remember the brand

Either Kärcher or Ryobi

 I've had both, they both do a great job. Don't ask me why but it's a very, very wise idea to remove the paper dust filter and use the foam sock when sucking up water. It's an even wiser idea to empty it after use unless you want to start your own death spore science experiment.
I'm a muppet some days.......

30L with the stainless steel drum. remove the filter/dust bag and install the foam sock over the motor to use as a wet vac.  

 

very under-rated vacuums.... I've had mine for 5 years and still going strong as the day I got it.  also great for spew, red wine, dog piss, etc. add some bi-carb soda to heavily stained or stinky areas, massage it in, and suck it up for a stain and stink free clean!
