Review:Stanley Shop Vac.

[Bill1234]

I got this vac as a gift from a family member after they saw it in costco. I put mine together and tried it out. I liked the fact that it was light, easy to move around and does an okay job for the size and price.

Pros
Lightweight
good size
comes with alot of attachments
easy to keep clean
Stainless steel storage bin


Cons
low on hp
wheels are small-might be a plus to some
not alot of suction
must change the filter to suck up water
not that long of a hard wired cord
instructions are not so great, had to use youtube...

overall, I would give this a 4 out of 5 for its good design, but power is lacking.

Nice review, and at least you now can give your other vacuum a vacation when you don't have to do serious vacuuming

I think it serves its purpose, Ill keep the old one for "bigger" messes but use this one when I need to do not so large amounts of work. My biggest gripe is with the filter bags that attach side ways to the end of nozzel. Its a bit odd, and they dont stay on that well. Im fine with letting all the dirt enter the steel container, but It would be more cleaning of the tank

I have this one too... I remove the filter and the bag and never use them... Works great still... And that way I can mix what I vac up. I use it mostly with the crevice tool and put it to where it blows... Then blow all carpet and upholstery. Then vacuum it... That works way better... Try that and see what you think...
