Shop-Vac 4 Gallon 5.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner for Home and Office Use

Bruce: Lots of suction when there are no attachments on the hose but once you put any of the attachments on the suction becomes almost non existant.

junebug: I have four dogs. I have been through lots of $500 vacuums over the years. Not getting rid of the dogs, as they are part of my family. Two of my dogs shed another two dogs every day. I have hair everywhere. I can suck out the vents, the corners of my rooms where the hair piles up, and under the furniture. The hose fits clear down in the vent, and keeps the hair out of my furnace, which I have paid to be taken apart and cleaned before. It's small enough to be handy, and the suction is great. I have no carpet, which would be totally impractical. Not sure that it would be good for carpet, but does have attachments. I'm glad I bought it.... no regrets.

Briananda: The suction was good but noisier than my last vac.
Not totally impressed with the quality of wheels and attachments.
I've kept my old Kenmore wand and attachments as I prefer the quality.
Has the price gone up? I paid $131.34 a couple of weeks ago for this model. It's not woth the $200+ than some are asking now.

playmytuneplaymytune: Just got this vac today to replace a 16 gallon vac that got to be too much to lug around. This vac is just right and the suction is just as good as the big vac. I like the smaller hose because it's not as hard to handle due to my arthritis. The only problem so far is if you move it backward it will tip. But that's not a big problem. I think anyone with disability problems will find this vac much easier to handle. Will follow through with this review when I really get down and start using it.

Lamar S.: You probably think you know what a Shop Vac is.. but this is literally a knee-high version of the standard models. That said, it does come from a pure-bred lineage. It comes with the normal attachments and has the foam, paper filter, and bag included. The bag means it can be used for dust collection, the foam filter makes the paper filter last longer between cleanings, and the paper filter can be used with wet or dry pickup. It won't replace its larger cousins, but it is handy for concrete floors, car interiors, etc. and provide surprisingly effective suction. One criticism is that the hose is small and excessively flexible/crushable, but again, this Shop Vac is not what is not. It's a smart mini-version for mini-jobs.

Douglas Mckerracher: i used this vac for in house vacuuming, so i wanted the high efficiency filter. working good so far; also the power cord is longer as well as the hose compared to other vacs i have tried.

Marcia Hill: Had borrowed a friends larger vac with the same suction power but it was clumsy & heavy.
This one is perfect. Great power & compact for moving around. Works great - needed a strong vac for pet hair & sand in my car. Does great job.

Nick: Setup didn’t take very long, just a lot of brute force. The two small wheels took every bit of strength I had to insert them fully into the holes. I got this vacuum for suction power and the compact factor. I’m a painting contractor and used this to clean up dust from sanding and overall dirt on subfloors. It does a great job of getting up everything. I am also able to fit this behind my seat in a Ford Ranger supercab and still have plenty of legroom (I’m 5’10).

My only gripe is the back wheels. I had never used a shop vac with wheels like these. When I vacuum I pull the machine around by the hose. Pulling it with the locked hose is nice, but if you happen to push it backwards it topples backward until it rests on the storage compartment. It’s more annoying than anything since you have to walk back to the vacuum and un-topple it since you can’t pull it around effectively anymore.

If it had the same wheels as the ones in the front this would be a pretty much perfect vacuum, especially for the size.
