Default Who uses a Wet/Dry Shop Vac on their Reef?

Just wondering who out there uses a wet/dry shop vac to clean out their sump? I seen people mention this, but want to know how effective they are. Can they overflow and make a mess, or do they switch off when full of water?

Thinking of getting one to easily clean the bottom of my sump, as trying to create a syphon with a gravel cleaner doesn't work well due to lack of height.

Thanks for any input.
