    my goodness this saved me a lot of work. it had a great price works perfectly and i just love it. i never really wanted a shop vac but am so glad i got it. i did not realize how much water was left in bottom of pool until i started bailing and mopping. it was far more than i thought. this pulled all the water and gunk out in minutes so the kids could enjoy the pool in just a couple of hours.

    This stanley dry-wet vacuum is portable and convenient to capture dry and wet items from floors. Connected wand can be used in an upright position to collect dust from curtains and furniture.

    Don’t Like The Vacuum Attachment

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This vacuum is powerful, but I don’t like the small attachment that it comes with. I bought it to vacuum my car so the main attachment that I need for small spaces doesn’t have the bristles and the rubber piece that the larger attachment has. When I use the small attachment it just gets stuck and won’t slide.Will have to return it.

    Actually vacuum is not able to use because Best Buy sent the used vacuum and damaged package. I even did not open it and return it . Now waiting for 15 days for Best Buy to process the return. It’s ridiculous.

    Only 3 stars due to the following reasons: 1. The cord length is advertised as 16' but is actually only 6'. A disappointment as I will need an extension cord for most applications. The 16' cord specified was one reason I purchased. 2. The hose length is advertised as 81.6" but is actually only 72". The cord is flexible but will not stretch. Not a big deal unless you need an extra foot to reach that back corner of your car... 3. The description mentions that filter bags (plural, indicating more than one) are included but there is only one bag included. With the above said, the vacuum has decent suction and if the limitations above are acceptable to a prospective purchaser I would recommend this vacuum. It is an attractive vacuum and it is easy to access the filter bag for changing.

    This works great in my basement floor. Powerful suction and noise level is lower than other wet-dry vacuums. It is very easy to set up and easy to use. Only con I noticed was that the cord is very short, and I need to unplug and plug to clean the entire floor. It's not that painful, but a little turn off point.

    I like the suction; the vacuum is powerful and easy to use. Works great. Cord is short so I had to buy an extension cord to keep with it for mobility.

    I purchased this vacuum for my home in Ocoee, and I’m extremely satisfied with its performance. It’s powerful, efficient, and very convenient for heavy-duty cleaning. The size is perfect for large areas, and the stainless steel construction ensures durability. Fast delivery and well-packaged. Highly recommend!

    I’ve already used this vacuum in both my house and my car, and it performed really well. It has strong suction power and handles dry messes with no problem. I haven’t used it with water yet, but so far, I’m very satisfied. It is a bit noisy, and the power cord could be a little longer, but overall, it’s a great product. For the price, the quality and performance are excellent. Definitely a good buy!

    Great price starts this review! Easy roll and powerful suction for hard to clean jobs in my shop. Portability is simplistic and not overly heavy, even when full. Highly recommended for any job.
