5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of power for the price, April 13, 2009

By 

Derrik Mantel (Maplewood, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shop-Vac 5861600 16-Gallon 6.5-Peak HP Quiet Deluxe Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this vacuum because a 6.5 HP motor seems to be as big as you can get without jumping into the industrial line of vacuums. I wanted a big motor for a reasonable price.

Warranty - It also has a 3 year warranty, which of course I hope I do not need to use.

Assembly - It is easy to put together...about 10-15 minutes. I only needed a flathead screwdriver to mount the wheels.

Blower -The vacuum has a blower feature which you enable by plugging the hose into the exhaust port.

Drain - It has a drain for emptying the vacuum after wet pickup. Useful when 16 gallons of liquid is too much to lift.

Noise - I can't tell if this vacuum is "super quiet" as advertised. It seems as loud as any vacuum I have owned. Probably some room for improvement. Without a decibel rating... it all seems relative.

Sucking power - this vacuum is powerful. No complaints.

Included Tools - everything is plastic and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. The crevice tool is larger than you might think. I think they could have included a round brush tool for the price.

Tool Carriage - mounts easily to the back of the vacuum. It is of marginal value. Bad for extension pipes and hoses, good for the crevice tools and gulper tool.

Weight - This vacuum weighs 20+ pounds which makes it heavy to many people. There is a handle on top of the unit which you can use to carry it.

Extensibility - shop vac makes some additional products such as a gutter leaf blower attachment, a dust collection system, and drywall sanding screen/collection system all of which give this product some growth potential.

Filters - This one uses the round cartridge as shown but can also accomodate bags for drywall dust or fine dust. I like the one piece design as opposed to the sponge, o-ring, filter design used in other models.

Cord - 18 ft. cord is nice.

Areas for improvement - add some extra tools (brush head and/or small crevice tool), give a 5 year warranty, reduce the noise further, add a crush proof hose, add a tote bag for the tools as opposed to the on board carrier.

I bought this so I could do light shop duty, but mostly to use instead of my dyson for car cleaning. The dyson is really hard to use to clean cars with it's ridged short hose.

I was worried it wouldnt provide as much suction power as the dyson, but it seems to keep up fine for the car application. I purchased a car set Snap-on 93078 Car Cleaning Kit to assist with the cleaning. I am now able to get in between the seat and behind the pedals where I couldn't before, and it is much more comfortable to use to clean.

The vac is easy to tote around on the wheels that come with it, and its fairly light. The suction power works great and can clean anything I put in front of it (NOTE: I havent used it on any liquid yet). Other people have complained about the big airvent in the back, but I think it is a nice addition. I use it to blow off computer stuff instead of using canned air and it works great. I have only used it outside so I havent noticed it blowing dirt everywhere.

I wish it came with a few more attachments, but the general purpose ones that come with it seem to work fine. The cord is a bit short, but its easy enough to add an extension cord to so you dont always have to have a super long cord.

I would recommend this vac for anyone looking for light duty shop and car cleaning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great clean up tool, June 12, 2010

Ex Texan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shop-Vac 5861600 16-Gallon 6.5-Peak HP Quiet Deluxe Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've used this for cleaning out my basement (lots of dry stuff). I've used this for cleaning out the pool where my water fountain sits and it does a nice job. What I wish I had was an attachment to the drain so I could just let the water run through the vac and out a hose into the alley. As it is, I have to stop after it fills, take off the top, remove the vac hose, roll it down a sidewalk and out to the alley and then dump it. I've searched on-line for a drain hose, but can't find one. If anyone can direct me to someone who sells these things, would be much appreciated.
