If you spend time in the garage working on your car or other DIY projects, you know how fast the mess can pile up, such as oil drips, sawdust, metal shavings, and all kinds of debris that a regular vacuum just can’t handle. That’s where a portable shop vac comes in handy. Quality models are built for serious cleanups in the shop, but they’re also versatile enough to use around the house when life gets messy elsewhere.

The Shark MessMaster is exactly that kind of wet/dry vac, and it’s currently on sale for $80 at Amazon. That’s a whopping 56% discount off its original $180 price, making it an awesome deal on a vacuum designed to take on messes you wouldn't dare touch with your everyday sweeper.

Shark MessMaster Portable Wet Dry Vacuum, $80 (was $180) at Amazon

Weighing just 9.8 pounds, the MessMaster is light enough to move from room to room, and tough enough to handle heavy-duty cleanups. It includes a long hose and cord for added reach, plus a full set of attachments, including a squeegee, crevice tool, and extension wand. Shark’s AnyBag technology lets you vacuum directly into any 2 to 13-gallon plastic bag for easy disposal, and a self-cleaning feature allows the vacuum to clean itself with just a cup of water. The dishwasher-safe dustbin makes maintenance easy, and its unique filter design prevents clogs while maintaining strong suction from start to finish.

Buyers rave about the power and portability of this shop vac. One called it “lightweight and super portable,” while another wrote, “suction is outstanding” and a third said it’s “insanely powerful.”

Its versatility is another feature that customers seem to love. One buyer said it “has totally changed how I clean,” while another described it as “a game changer” and “incredible” for handling everything from kitchen spills to beach-day cleanups.
