I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

Shop VAC’s and carpet shapoorers both do.
I just mean like wouldnt anything suck water into whatever drives the suction?
It sucks from the top of the canister, but the inlet is in the side. The water falls down, and the air is sucked out to maintain vacuum.
A small crawlspace next to my garage filled with water during some heavy rains. I’m glad I had a shop vac - Sucked up the water until it was full, brought it outside, emptied it out, and kept repeating until all the water was gone. Had a hose siphon going at the same time, but the shop vac was a lot faster. I bought a utility pump for the next time.
It’s a small crawlspace that doesn’t seem to have any way to enter it, so I’m not even sure how to properly fix it. It seems like water is coming through the dirt into there when there’s very heavy rain (which is rare where I live)
Shop vac was just a cheap Dewalt one from Costco.
