Shop-Vac 5 Gallon 4.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vacuum, Portable Heavy-Duty Shop Vacuum 3 in 1 Function with Attachments for House, Garage, Car & Workshop, 5971536

We love this little guy! Was going to return it because "it lost suction after 2 cleaning sessions" even tho those had excellent results. Turns out the hose clogged where I couldn't see and when that clog broke up, it was good as new suction-wise. Turns out it doesn't care for helicopters from Maple trees! It has plenty of power for me even with all 3 extension tubings connected. Mostly use the "Gulper" accessory and works great on our large stone fireplace/hearth. Did my whole house hardwood, carpet, carpeted stairs and area rugs after de-clogging it to test it out, and more than satisfied with the results. Plan on use in workshop/shed, garage and autos and believe it will be up to those tasks. Hose is slightly smaller, size of most other brands tho, but will just watch for clogs if it starts to lose suction again. Probably wouldn't work for items like leaves. Does need an extension cord but no problem there - very mobile little guy. Very nice item to have around, and would highly recommend for use like I've mentioned. Hope it works well for you too.

Works great.

Great vacuum. Manufacture has a problem how it's packaged. It has a high probability of getting damaged during shipping. There are two tabs on vacuum that allow you to wind up the electric cord. They are subject to breaking if the box gets sttuck on its side. This caused me to have to return one that I ordered.

Excellent product for small jobs

I purchased this Shop-Vac to replace my old one, which died after, probably, 15 years. Before I ordered this one, I tried two other models from Stanley and returned them on the same day. One came with the outside damaged, and the other one was very noise (likely the first one was too)! This Sop-Vac is the perfect size for house cleaning, car vacuuming etc. It is not the same quality of my old one, but it is good. The only issue I have is the length of the power cord, 6 feet only. They say 13 feet cleaning range (6 feet power cord plus 7 from the hose), but that does not work well, you do need need an extension to take fully advantage of the wheels.

I am a pet sitter. I actually vacuum my house with this thing. It works better than ANY vacuum on the market made for home use. I guarantee it because I have tried them all. I feel so strongly about it that I wrote a letter to Shop Vac begging them to at least design a wand that would be gentler to interior floors. If you need the vacuum for more heavy duty use, no issues. This vacuum sucks! Literally!

My chosen sister whom is one of my caregivers has fibromyalgia along with psoriatic arthritis and she could no longer handle the larger shop vac and she just loves the heck out of this I surprised through it!

Cheaply made, cord too short.
