I have a regular Shark AC hand vac with many attachments. I think a useful attachment would be a bin of sorts for wet material.

The device would be a bin with two holes. Into one hole you would attach the hose of your regular vacuum and into the other one you would attach another hose with the appropriate attachments. It would work like a regular wet/dry vacuum tank, but with your standard vacuum providing the suction.

It would include an adapter for upright vacuums with no hose. See link for an article on how wet/dry vacs work.
