5.0 out of 5 stars
Powerful, Durable, & Quiet,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Porter-Cable 7814 15 Gallon 1-1/2 Horsepower Tool-Start Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
After several models of Shop-Vac vacuums (they're all junk as far as I'm concerned) i decided to dig deeper in my pockets and get a decent vacuum. That led me to the Porter Cable.Decent is an insulting understatement. This thing has power!!! With a clean filter this thing loves to eat nails, screws, rocks you name it. This vacuum accidentally fell 9 feet to the floor below where I was using it. Nothing broken or bent. It didn't even come apart. Now that's durability. With respect to the noise level during operation, it's the quietest vacuum I own (i have 2 shopvacs and a Sears Kenmore canister). It's even quieter than the Sears vacuum with bogus Whisper feature. The only problem I have with this model is its weight. It's tough to carry up and down stairs even with the carry handle on the top. Lastly, if you get the filter bags for this from Amazon, make sure you're getting the 15 gallon bags. the 10's are the ones they usually show you in the "related accessories" area. I ordered a bunch of them (the 10's) thinking they were 15's. The 10 gallon bags do not work well in the 15 gallon vacuum (they rip apart from the weight of what they're holding). In a nutshell, you want quality? Buy this or the 10 gallon model. You won't be sorry.

This review is from: Porter-Cable 7814 15 Gallon 1-1/2 Horsepower Tool-Start Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
I purchased this vacuum for a small cabinet shop and am pleased to report that is quite superior to the Crafts**n (no names please!) unit I had been using. It has similar suction power, albeit through a smaller hose, but is vastly quieter than the "red screamer". The filter stays clean longer with fine dust due to the use of a 15 gallon bag prefilter, and the two stage filtration exhausts cleaner air than any single stage unit I have tried. The wheels allow for easier movement than the typical four swivel casters on most "shop vacs". My only complaint would be in the meager amperage limit of the built in 120 volt outlet which activates the device when used with devices like random orbit sanders. I would like to be able to use it with larger tools, such as a router, as well.

Great vacuum,

This review is from: Porter-Cable 7814 15 Gallon 1-1/2 Horsepower Tool-Start Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
I just wish, for $330 they included a couple of attachements. It's not that I'm going to vacuum my living room, but just the 2 nozzles from the accessory kit to pick up some saw dust or something after I make a mess.They make an accessory kit for another $60. A Brush, a wand and a wide attachement, plus more hose and extensions. $390 total. I use it with my router, sander and chop saw. Not a lot of noise and great suction. Obviously what it was designed for, wandless tool dust collection. Heavy to lug up stairs so I try to keep in in the shop. Nice long cord and hose. a Very nice vacuum overall.
