    Great Stanley Wet/Dry vac I love this machine

    This is better than the last model of this brand I bought. There is a dust blue cover and a round ring and a dust enclosure like a vacumn bag I didn’t get all that with the last one I bought. I bought this new smaller version because it was on sale and I was surprised to see all the stuff that cans with it. I trust Stanley Products brand name. My only complaint from my last one was the wheels broke off. The entire plastic housing just snapped one day I tried to use a bunch of super glue and it held up for a really long time. So I’m using this new one on the inside and I will use the broken one I. The outside until I can replace the broken one. Even though my last one broke I still trust this brand. I wish they would make a version of this machine with heavy duty caster wheels with a metal wheel base for rugged users. But I still love Stanley I buy everything I need from Stanley the trust source fur everything at home users needs to fix up our homes. Very easy to use and I love the color of yellow and shiny metal you know Stanley tools and the Stanley brand when you see their signature yellow color. I have had other brands in the past that didn’t hold up. Stanley brand holds up and their products last longer.

    I have been using this for a few months to clean up all the debris on my outdoor patio. This thing works great!!! The power/suction is very good and it's very easy to clean, empty and take apart. I love it so much, that I just ordered another one for inside my home. After spending $350 on one of those name brand vacuum cleaners and having a small ping pong ball sucked up into the handle area, where I can't retrieve/remove the ball........I AM SO DONE OF TRADITIONAL VACUUMS!!!! I'm so upset that I can use my $350 vacuum and totally wasted my money on that by getting a ping pong ball stuck in it. From now on, I will only be using this shop vac. The $45 daily deal special can't be beat and no worries about not being able to access anything that gets stuck.

    I really like this 5 gallon wet dry vacuum. It has very good suction and moves around easily. The cord isn't very long but I just use an extension cord which is no big deal. The metal look also is very nice.

    Super easy to set up and use. Holds a large amount of water if needed to drain anything. Powerful suction makes it a much faster process to clean.

    My 6 year old son is autistic and his “stim” is shredding paper. If you know about autism, you know you just have to let them do it. I’ve gone through 2 standard vacs not because they weren’t good, but because they simply couldn’t handle all the paper I had to clean every day. A friend recommended I get a shop vac instead, so I picked this one up on sale and it’s been a game changer! Phenomenal suction, enough attachments to replace a standard vac, versatile with the wet/dry features plus it’s attractive. Everyone, especially those with kids, needs one of these!!

    Very happy with this purchase. In my opinion this is a perfect size vacuum for home projects. It helped me keep my basement clean while working on the framing, drywall and other construction stuff during my basement refinishing. The wheels work well and the hose clips into the vacuum so it doesn’t disconnect when pulling it to another area to clean. Powerful enough to pickup loose nails as well.

    I wanted a small powerful vacuum that I can use to clean my car from time to time. This vacuum works great. It is powerful and gets the job done for a basic cleaning. I like the size and it is easy to maneuver.

    Didn't need a large vac and this size was just fine for my needs. Suction/vacuum is strong especially doing car trunk which is usually toughest to clean. Not too bulky, light weight and has many different add-on's. This also has a blower. Haven't tried vacuuming water/liquid but hope I won't have to.

    Got this on sale as a Deal of the Day, so the value was pretty great. Absolutely love this shop vac! Read the instructions and watched a quick video on setup but honestly it was super easy to put together, maybe 5 minutes, and then used it right away. We just bought a house and had quite a bit of cleaning to do in the basement/garage and this vac did a fantastic job. No more cobwebs and the attachments were great for all the nooks and crannies and getting the floor move in ready. I use it for everything now, really a great buy and investment!
