4 out of 5 stars Solid performance -- attachments are a little limited   November 23, 2008
N. Jenkins (Raleigh, NC)
We got this for our basement and also because my husband does a lot of home building projects and this vacuum has worked very well over the years. For the most part -- it has really stood up under the abuse (though the switch quit working shortly after we got it so the only way to turn it on and off is by plugging it in or unplugging it -- or using a power strip with a switch).

This thing has a LOT of power and will suck up virtually everything in its path -- so be sure you don't aim it at anything you DON'T want to have vacuumed up -- like small pets, clothing, etc.

I gave it 4 stars because of the switch malfunction and I would really like to see more attachments for smaller areas -- but that probably isn't totally fair since it really is intended for large spaces and heavy duty jobs. However, since it is down in the basement and garage area -- it would be great if there were attachments that would be a bit more "car friendly" so that you could get into the nooks and crannies of car interiors better.

All in all, I would definitely buy this again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone that was thinking about it. We wind up using it far more than I ever thought we would.



5 out of 5 stars Shop Vac Customer Service is Outstandiing   November 13, 2008
P. Dayton (Philadelphia, PA)
I have had a few Shop Vacs in my little workshp over the last 40 years. I have been adding them, not replacing them. They have proved to be extremely reliable... the oldest one still doing dust collection duty for my table saw. I just had a problem with my "newest" one, a 10 gal unit. I emailed Shop Vac and explained the problem. In about 1 hour they sent me a response and said they will ship a replacement part. They stand behind their products!


4 out of 5 stars Overall, pretty good shop vac   October 15, 2008
Meredith Y. Kamprath (Panama City, FL)
Overall this is a good buy. My only complaint is something I have found with other shop vacs as well- the hoses have no locking mechanisms and the attachments come off rather easily. But this machine has a lot of power and I would reccomend it.


5 out of 5 stars WOW! What a "sucker"!   September 19, 2008
N. Delorfano (Northshore, MA USA)
Bet I got your attention with my title!

This 4HP wet/dry vac is amazing. It has excellent+ pick up power.
It's large but those littler ones would have to be emptied all the time. This is just as advertised. It is no louder than my regular vacuum cleaner.

I could suck up a pretty major spill if I had too with this.

Highly recommend.



3 out of 5 stars NOT DESIGNED BY USERS   September 4, 2008
J. Stanley Blumin (Florida)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

It is very powerful, sometimes to powerful. It picks up everything, a plus. Some poor design makes it a pain. Wheels stick out and catch on everything in the shop. Follows like a reluctant cat rather than a happy dog. Hose is too short and bends closed at the nozzle when you vacuum close or at the wrong angle. I had to duct tape it to stop it from bending. Hard to empty without using the bag. Bags are costly and if you pick up something by mistake you need to tear the bag open to find it. The hose is very fat and needs a handle to hold. Not too hard to figure out if you use it. Rockler did it, why not shop vac? Would have been nice if they had an automatic rewind for the cord. Also would have been nice to have a brush pickup. I would have paid more if these items were included.
