Mounted in a central location, Shop-Vac's clever 5-gallon Hang-Up wet/dry vacuum is the perfect no-clutter cleaning tool for garages, workshops, laundry rooms, and hobby areas. With the vac's 18-foot locking hose, you can cover a large area without the hassle of maneuvering the tank, and the unit's 4-1/2-horsepower motor delivers impressive suction and airflow of 165 cubic feet per minute. The filtering system features a high-quality cartridge filter, along with a foam sleeve for wet pickup. The vacuum also comes with a complete offering of 1-1/4-inch tools, including extension wands, crevice and gulper tools, and a 12-inch floor nozzle with squeegee insert. A handy tool-storage bracket keeps all tools organized and ready to use.

Noisy operation

The vacuum works great as far as the suction, mounting and supplied accessories and was a good value in those regards. However, even though the motor itself is not overly loud, when you attach the long hose it creates a loud high pitched whistling sound (with many of the attachments) probably caused from the air pulling through the corregated hose. This makes it irritating when used for any period of time.

Want-a-Clean Car

I puchased this vacuum to use in my garage both for general clean-up and to vacuum my cars. The vacuum power is great and the storage capacity is good. I am a little disappointed in the fact that all of the tools/accesories that come with the unit can not be put on the accesory rack that comes with it to attach to the wall. I would be nice if Shop Vac would come up with an accessory holder that holds all of the tools at one time, and in such a way as to allow the user to take a tool without having to take the whole thing apart in order to get what you want to use. In addition, they put the hose mount on the canister right in front of the unit. In addition to the thickness of the wall mount and the canister, with the hose attached to the unit, it sticks out from the wall about 20 inches. This is OK if you have a garage with a large space between the automobile you park in it and the wall where the unit is attached to. In my case, there is only about 36 inches between the wall and the car side, which does not allow me to put the unit on that wall without bumping into it in the way all the time when you have to pass by. Perhaps Shop Vac could also consider having the hose come from the side of the unit instead of directly in front of the unit. This would solve the problem entirely. Otherwise it is a powerful good vacuum.

It is nice getting the shop vac off of the floor and up on the wall so I am not tripping over it in the garage. The hose is very long.

Convenient, but loud and hose is prone to clogging
»
I've had this little vacuum for 4 years now, and it has been up on the garage wall for 2. I use it mostly to clean up the sawdust around the miter saw. It does a great job with that. The convenience of having it out of the way and up on a wall cannot be overstated. But it is loud (I use ear protection when it's running!), and the hose does clog often when e.g. I am vacuuming bigger things such as leaves, pieces of paper.

Still going strong!

I purchased this vac for my husband in 2004 and it is still going strong. It has been used often due to home improvement projects. Highly recommend!
