A flooded basement, a renovation cleanup or a car detail needs a shop vac for one day. It is bulky to store and cheap to borrow.

Renting a wet/dry vacuum: common questions
Can it pick up water?
Yes, with the paper filter removed and the foam sleeve fitted. Running it wet with a paper filter ruins the filter.
How does the security deposit work?
It is a hold on your card sized to the item’s declared value, never a charge. It releases automatically 72 hours after you return the item, unless the owner files a damage claim within that window.
