Pleased
This has been a pretty good shop vac so far. Good suction. The handle on the top can be used to wrap up the power cord. Rolls nicely. Keeps fine dust from sanding inside where it belongs. Bags and filters are easy to change. And I havenât had any issues getting replacement bags/filters for it. (Thereâs a number to call for replacements in the manual and on the vacuum bag it comes with, but I havenât had any trouble finding what I need on the internet or Amazon.)The only time this has ever tipped over on me was when it got hung up on something in its path (tools, etc). As long as itâs on a smooth surface (hard flooring, short-medium carpet, cement flooring) it should roll just fine.The hose is a little bit stiff, but not too bad. Itâs still easy to use. Though I usually have it attached to an extension for using it with power tools that require dust management (palm sander, drywall sander).The tools all mount right on the base so as long as you remember to put them back, they wonât get lost easily. And they all work pretty well. They stay connected together, even when vacuuming carpet and leftover sanding dust off walls.Just be careful going over/around painted surfaces like walls, the black plastic can leave marks on the paint, a bit like shoes leaving black marks on certain flooring.Overall, Iâm pretty happy with this vacuum.

Great Vacuum for the Price
Had a larger canister vacuum by another maker and the motor died, so we replaced it with this one. It is small but large enough to do the job we needed- basic clean up of the garage, cars, carpentry dust, and other messes. Suction is really good. The unit is very light which is great but it also tends to be easy to topple for the same reason. Wheels roll ok… not fantastic… but acceptable. Reusable blue dust filter cleaned up great rinsing under the water in the sink after a few hours of dusty garage cleanup. Have not used the paper bags yet. Hose is sufficiently long enough and tools give you options. Would like a tool with a brush on it for things like ceiling spider webs and the like but just a preference- not a necessity. Really like the steel canister rather than a plastic one. Really like that there is a place to wrap the power cord (the old one didn’t have that- which was annoying.) Tools can be stored on the base. A little difficulty getting the top on the canister at first. It has to be lined up so it doesn’t hit the inside valve. Also like that the hose click in place and there is a tab to push in to remove it. The old vacuum’s hose was ALWAYS pulling out- which was infuriating. Very pleased with this vacuum- especially for the price.

Very very nice
Very sharp looking shop vac, came with standard attachments and decent size cord. Love the bag option as well as it’s easy to attach.I bought this as we have fur babies that shed horribly so thought by looking at picture it would be perfect to use as a “vacuum” as per hair is horrible on standard vacuums. But the bigger attachment just isn’t big enough to do so, at least not for a big room.Other than that it’s great, super good suction power. Great cord length. The swivel wheels work perfectly! Love the looks of it. Would buy again for sure!

A good vacuum
We’ve renovating and this vacuum has been amazing! We love it. We’ve had a few issues with it getting clogged with larger debris, but that’s not often and it’s usually with fairly large chips of wood or wallpaper that we really should be sweeping. When it clogs, it’s fairly easy to clean out. The attachments work well. Occasionally, a larger flexible hose would be handy for high up spots, but the vacuum is light enough that we can get around that by having someone hold up the vacuum itself. A hardy workhorse of a vacuum

Very Pleased
I like Everything about this wet n dry vac. It’s suction is great. I haven’t used the wet yet, but I am very enthused about it. I trust the brand Stanley and with good reason. Multiple things are in my household with the Stanley brand on them. Never had to take anything back. Very reliable. I have cleaned everything from floors to my fireplace with this vac and it does a great job. People have complained about the handle, but I don’t have any issues with it. Very light weight. The blower part of this product is awesome too. The hose is nice and long. Plenty of onboard tools to use. Easy cleanup. I would recommend this to Anyone without fear of bad feedback. Thanks for such a great product

Excellent unit! Efficient and VERY powerful!
Even i wasted 1.5 hours trying to figure out how this blasted unit works, I give it high marks for performance. The very-reasonable price makes this even a better investment.The support line was not available when i called; open til 6p CST?. The web site has no online manual. There are no videos anywhere on the web to show how this works!I needed this for mainly for fine dirt. When i finally did connect w/support, they advised that the best way to use this is to use the foam filter, covered by the blue cloth reusable filter, and the (large) disposable brown bag.I’ve owned wet/dry vacs before, but this is the 1st unit that sucks and blows at the same time. I was concerned that stuff would start blowing out of the blower port; but, after vacuuming a LOT of stuff over several hours, this did not happen.

Love my shop vac! Short cord but….
This is the lightest shop vac I have ever had! It is easy to use, moves well, easy to empty and vacuums great! The only drawback is the short cord! I was the cord was a lot lot longer!!!! I have a 20 foot drop cord that I use with it! Other than that, I love it!
