5.0 out of 5 stars Great price on a time proven workhorse
When shopping for a wet/dry vacuum, Shop-Vac is the first brand that comes to mind. This is one of the quietest units I have ever used. It delivers the expected performance sucking up every mess I can make. The pricing was exceptional and delivery was prompt.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quiet because it has no power
Very disappointed in this vacuum. First the recommended extra filters are not for this machine so don't buy them. As shop vacuums go this is in fact relatively quiet. However it can't pick up squat! It can not pick up a pebble the size of a pea, even with the attachment off. I had a 20 year old vacuum but did not have the hoses, so I used the hoses from this model...

I shopped around and wasn't able to find this model for anywhere near this price. It's quieter and more powerful than expected. The 12 gal size is perfect. Would definitely recommend. The only drawback is that it didn't come with any filter bags. I had to go out and buy some before I could use it.

It can not pick up a pebble the size of a pea, even with the attachment off. I had a 20 year old vacuum but did not have the hoses, so I used the hoses from this model rather than sent it back. I'll use if for wet pick up only. The original price is $178 but it is selling for $58; that should tell you something. Too good to be true.

It is a great product but the attachments will not allow you to work in smaller spaces.

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy with my shop-vac, February 10, 2010

This review is from: Shop-Vac 5851200 12-Gallon 5.0-Peak HP Quiet Plus Series Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
Great product, however I would have liked more attachments such as a crevase tool to reach inbetween the seats or hard to reach places where the oversized attachment head doesn't fit. Works great at cleaning up spills or cleaning furniture.

This review is from: Shop-Vac 5851200 12-Gallon 5.0-Peak HP Quiet Plus Series Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
The price was right and it performed as it should. It is a little bulky to work in tight spaces and the accessories are cheap, but that is expected but for the price I cannot complain. I miss the blower feature like I had on my old one. I wish it came with a filter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet is the word, January 14, 2010

This review is from: Shop-Vac 5851200 12-Gallon 5.0-Peak HP Quiet Plus Series Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
Having purchased this shop vac as a gift I was very nervous as to how it would perform. I had never purchased something so bulky as this from Amazon. I should not have worried because it performed just like the title says. - Quite Plus. The person who received this as a gift just said two words about it - "It Sucked" They were very pleased because it was performing ten times better than the previous model that they had. Thanks for having such a strong model at just a great price. I know that it will give a lot of years of great service.

This Shop-Vac is extremely powerful and quiet too. It works great and is worth the extra cost. I would buy it again.

Great shop vac for the $$$$!!!! size is perfect, not too small, and not overly large...the 2.5" hose is good for large jobs, but i will be picking up an accessory kit locally for smaller jobs....

I liked the price. I ordered it, received it, plugged it in and everything is just fine. I knew I would have to split for a better filter, but the price is still great.
