Griots Wet/Dry Vac

I need a new vacuum for my detailing business as the current one I have has taken quite a beating! I am looking at the Griots Wet/Dry Vac: http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog....1006&SKU=77836


Does anyone have any? I am particularly drawn to this one due to its size. However, I know absolutely nothing about vacuums. Is 5HP enough to get the job done, and also enough to extract water from carpets? Is the $199 price tag too high?


Thanks for the help!

Thanks! Funny thing is, I am actually updating my site right now. I desperately need to get rid of the frames...working on a CSS design.

Thanks!


Yea, hopefully next time I am up in Chicago I will also be able to come to one of the MINI events...since such a thing is non-existant in Austin .


Who knows...maybe I will be spending the next four years in Chicago since I am applying to a few schools there for next fall .
