Sucks up the mess without a fuss!

I ran out and purchased this when power failed at the house the day before we moved in and the basement flooded.  Worked great and really cleaned up the mess quickly, allowing us to move in only a day later. 

Now I use it mostly in the shop, cleaning up sawdust and other small bits of things.  Every now and then, I need to use it in the house to clean up a large spill, but not too often and it has not let me down yet! 

The only thing that would make this shop vac better would be if the attachments clipped on to the nozzle.  It would make it a lot easier to keep the tools attached. 

I would recommend this to anyone looking for an all around shop vac.

Cooked Motor
The Vac overall worked great for 87 days. It has great suction ability. I personally really dont like things made wholy out of plastic and was skeptical at first when I purchased it. Then the motor started to cook itself on the 87th day of ownership. It started to smell really bad and was throwing small bits of plastic out of the motor vents.

This thing sucks!

I did a lot of research and looked at different shop vacs from various other stores, but this one was by far the best deal I found. Not only was the price great, but it works incredibly well. The suction is very powerful and I'm now able to clean my car in minutes, not an hour like it used to take. This is a great product and I'm definitely not disappointed.

Sturdy

We have 4 of these in use for our company. We use them primarily to suck heavy, wet sand out of pool filters. This unit has the power to do the job, and they wear like iron! We have tried other "pro" brands, but they don't even compare!

I would recommend this product to a friend.
