If you do any kind of shop work--woodwork, metal, etc--GET ONE!
There are add-ons to an existing shop-vac. Dirt collects in a bucket under the cyclone, leaving the shop-vac filter almost completely clean. I haven't replaced mine in almost a year.
Saves time and filter $$

Mine's fairly cheap, but works well on stale horse feed, sawdust, metal grindings from welding projects and more.
It even separates fine agricultural lime dust.
No idea how energy efficient it is; I have the usual 'FIVE PEAK HP!!1!" Rigid shop-vac

Motor HP ratings, especially stuff like shop-vacs, drive me batshit.
It. Does. Not. Make. Five. Horsepower. #SorryNotSorry
Unless you have (5 * 750)/120 = 31 amp outlets, standard 15 amp outlet produces just over 2HP (assuming 100% efficient motor)
(1HP ~ 750W)

I'm thinking of 3D printing a fancier one from ABS plastic...but I like the clear one I bought.
It's really satisfying watching sawdust get spun out of the intense tornado in the funnel and drop into the bucket.

Yup. Breakers allow for brief high start-up current, so maybe for 1-2 60Hz cycles it's making "five hp"
They're like crappy car audio amp ratings: possible only in liquid nitrogen with 24V input for the few milliseconds before the output transistors fry.
