Most owners agree this shop vac delivers strong suction for wet and dry messes, from workshop dust to flooded basements. The trade-off is that the 6-gallon tank fills fast when tackling big water spills, making it heavy to dump and a bit awkward to lift.
Loved by buyers
- •Strong, dependable suction for wet messes like basement floods and dry jobs like workshop dust collection.
- •Works with power tools for dust-free sanding, doubling as a shop dust collector.
- •The cord and hose together stretch over 17 feet, so you can clean the car from the garage outlet without moving the vacuum.
Buyer concerns
- •The tank is heavy to lift and pour when full, which makes dealing with large water spills a workout.
- •The legs need to be screwed in to stay put, but the manual omits this step and screws aren't included.
- •A small number of units have stopped working suddenly, a frustration given the otherwise positive track record.
