Nice. I've gone through quite a few shop vacs in my time. Dollar for dollar, Shop Vac's 5-gallon bucket vac is the best available today. It costs less than $25, clips onto the top of any 5 gallon bucket, plenty of power, and you can buy a 20 foot hose extension. The boat shop is a daily torture test for equipment. I've found the bucket vac will last just as long as the bigger, more expensive models.

Damn. That thing looks great.

I got my wife one of those shop Vacs a couple years ago, because I got tired of lugging my big one from the shop to the house and back (approx. 100yds each way) every time she wanted to clean up the fur in the house. Definitely worth the money, especially since one of our dogs at the time was a shepherd/husky mix. Our Great Dane doesn't shed nearly as much!

Yeah, my Lab mix sheds year round and I have the same problem. Couple of months ago I got sick of constantly emptying my vacuum every 5 minutes to dump the hair so I just bought a shop vac. Problem solved. Still annoying though; I hate dog hair on every single thing.

I use a FURminator desheeding tool on my GSD, really cuts down on the shedding.

My son has a cat and toy fox terrier that sheds all the time and hardwood floors up and down. We gave them a Roomba for Christmas. It really does the job well for cat and short hair pups. Initial runs require emptying about every 30 minutes or so. Not so often after a good cleaning. It's programmed to run while they are at work. They really like it and pets aren't bothered by it.h.
