    Perfect tool - I like the smaller size, which makes it easily portable on stairs, etc. The incuded tools are also great. I am however, having difficulty finding the inner collection bags that are the correct fit.

    This was a great deal on the Best Buy deal of the day for a Stanley shop vac. It’s the perfect size for all the various chores we need to do. Easy to haul around as well!

    This vacuum has good suction, maybe slightly less than our now-dead shop-Vac, but is much more stable with a wider base. The latches that hold the motor to the top are easier to open and more secure than our previous vacuum and the 4 wheel covers each carry a wand or accessory which is very handy. It is noisy but with a deeper tone than our previous vacuum. The termination of the hose which is held is too short so that a person ends up holding part of the hose’s corrugated portion if not using an end accessory. HOWEVER, after only 3 months of use it only turns on intermittently which seems related to the position of the cord. We will see how Best Buy and Stanley respond to this problem.

    I bought this as a "Deal of the day" and for the price I paid it was an excellent purchase. The unit seems to be quality made. There is space above the casters to attach almost every tool, and the (long) cord will wrap around the top. The suction seems very strong and works perfectly for dry vacuuming. I have not yet used the unit to vacuum liquids, but I see no reason why it wouldn't perform just as good.

    This works phenominally. I've used it to clean my car and it's great. Whether you're detailing car for business and just for home use this would be an amazing tool to add to your collection. It comes with an extension to fit within the tight crevices of the seats.

    This is the first wet dry vac I've ever purchased this one is a very good but dry vac at a very good affordable price. Considering what you would normally pay for some wet driving. And the name Stanley has been one that's been around all of my years.

    It's ok, do not like the way the bags sit in the tank, also there is no way to move the nozzle to other side to fill the bag, you can only fill one way. Otherwise it is a nice shop vac.
