    This is fantastic! The taller skinny shape makes this a lot easier to work with than the wider ones. Easier to fit in a truck too.

    Decent Vacuum but Advertised Incorrectly

    This is a decent but not spectacular vaccum. The main benefit is it is relatively quiet - can use for a long time without feeling compelled to wear hearing protection. In my opinion it only has average suction power. Two things to note regarding BBY website product listing errors: This vacuu is only 4 hp, not 4.5 hp, and the power cord is only 6 ft long, not 16 ft long. I was disappointed to discover this during unboxing and could return it I guess but the price was very good on sale, and it is pretty quiet which is important to me, so I'm going to keep it.

    The name Stanley has been around for I don’t know I’m 63 and it’s been around ever since I’ve been alive. Tell you. This vacuum really sucks I mean that in a good way and is a great vacuum

    I bought this for myself for christmas and it has not been a disappointment. This was an upgrade from a way to small 2 gallon generic model that I had for about 7 years. I spent untold time emptying the hot tub. This is powerful enough and with a large enough capacity to get the job done way sooner and helping me clean my hot tub faster so I can enjoy it sooner. Excellent buy.

    Difficult rolling across a floor

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

    Suction is good. The hose is stiff and the vacuum does not roll in the direction you pull it. The design is awful, the power cord and the suction hose are on opposite sides, when you to try roll it by pulling on the hose, it gets caught up in the cord and wont roll forward at all. If you are buying for it to sit mobile, to vacuum a car possibly, then this is your vacuum, if you are purchasing to vacuum a floor and need to move all around the room, this is not the vacuum for that. Had I know, it would be so difficult to roll across a room, I would not have purchased. Very poor decision putting cord and hose on opposite sides

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Has large hose instead of the 1-1/4” most other vacuums of this type come with. Vacuum is perfect size for shop use. Plenty of power for sawdust extraction. Happy with purchase. Very fast delivery time.
