I bought a Rigid as a Black Friday special at home depot several year 
ago.  It is a big step up from my small Shop Vac.  Much quieter too.  
I've filled it with plaster dust and cellulose insulation to the point 
where it lost suction.  In other words, lots of abuse.  I've also used 
it for digging in a confined space for plumbing or electrical conduit 
under a slab.  Break up the dirt a little with a pry bar or big 
screwdriver then suck it out with the vac.  There are four different 
filters available, including a HEPA one.

I recommend the ones where you can also put the hose on the exhaust so 
you have blower.  The blow function will also assist unclogging a hose.  
Stick the attachment end in the suck side and then put the other end in 
the blow side and most of the time it unclogs whatever was stuck in the 
hose.

I have a wall mounted Shop Vac. 5 gallon I think. Easy to unhook from the 
wall mount to carry to places the long hose does not reach.

I recently bought this one:

http://www.amazon.com/WORKSHOP-Wet-Dry-WS1600VA-16-Gallon/dp/B00FX35YNC?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

I used it for a lot of drywall work when we remodeled the basement and I
was very happy with it.  Having the hose locked into the vacuum means it
doesn't pull out every time you try for a little extra reach.

It would be a bit cumbersome to haul up and down stairs all the time, but
the handles aren't bad.

Regards,
