I use this mostly in the garage but expect to use it on porches and inside when doing projects. I especially like that I was able to get the filter bags for finer dust particles #90671 for certain inside projects. The Shop Vac has good vacuum. I accidentally vacuumed up a long nylon cover to a golf umbrella, just pulled the hose from the unit, reached in two fingers and pulled it out. I can get into the tight corners behind the water heater, behind equipment, and into the corners in the ceiling with no problem. It rolls very easily. There is little room to try to fit all the attachments with the hose and cord wrapped around. I can fit them, but a pain. Better to just put them in a separate plastic box. Hoping this lasts a long time.

I bought this for clean up in my garage and to vacuum my vehicles. I purchased this unit on sale and did not pay mfr list.
I like the stainless steel aspect of the barrel and the motor provides good air flow and suction. The hose is nice and long and gives good access into the large cab of my 1 ton truck.
I do have to grade this unit down on two short comings. First the electrical cord is ridiculously short, thank goodness for extension cords. I believe this might have been intentional as storing the unit with a 20' cord would have been more difficult and made it much more bulky.
The second short coming is the latches to attach the vacuum head to the barrel. It is a little cheap and cheesy but it does work if you play with it some.

Decent vacuum and decent looking, but the cord is just way to short. If you are using to vacuum a car, you'd either need an extension cord or plug in two different outlets or move your car to get all the vacuuming done.

Bought the vacuum for the garage and the cars, works pretty good but would have liked it better if the hose was a few feet longer.

This shop vac works good for daily small jobs, wouldn't be great for bigger jobs due to small capacity. Wish the cord was longer.

I only use this as a indoor dry vac. I don't know why I thought stainless steel would be a good idea. It makes it heavy, awkward to hold, and the storage for the tools do not fit on right. This would also not be a good idea if you used this as a wet vac imo.
On the other hand, It has great suction and capacity. You can buy a ton of attachments for it.
Since I only use this in a apartment for dry purposes it fits my needs. If you were using this as a wet vac, lugging it around, or wanted to store all your attachments on it I would say look at something else.

Has a little play in the lid, but will seal when the vacuum is turned on. Great and powerful for its size. Did not research or compare size before purchasing so I thought it was going to be bigger. Satisfied
