3.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable Not outstanding, July 21, 2007

This review is from: Shop-Vac 5872500 5-Gallon, 5.5-Peak HP Heavy Duty Portable Wet/Dry Vacuum with Wall Mount Bracket (Tools & Home Improvement)

The machine was bought to use in a small engine repair shop. It works, with the following annoyances.
1. The User Manual is missing description of how to attach the tool caddy that is to be attached to the vacuum. In fact the tool caddy is not described in the user manual at all.
2. The design of the wall mount is sufficient to get the machine off of the floor. It does not have facilities for all tools (e.g., it is missing a hose hanger {you wrap the hose around the vacuum)).
3. The fit of the tools is sufficient, but not exact. You need to pressure the standard wand to get it to fit.
4. For a supposed 5.5 hp machine, its lifting power does not appear to be any better than 3 hp machines.

I will keep it, it is functional, but I am not pleased with the purchase.

This review is from: Shop-Vac 5872500 5-Gallon, 5.5-Peak HP Heavy Duty Portable Wet/Dry Vacuum with Wall Mount Bracket (Tools & Home Improvement)

This shop vac is just as strong as it's much larger counterparts. The fact that is wall mounted is why I bought it since space is limited in my garage. The mount and organizer are very handy but they do not really hold the attachments very well. I wish the vac had wheels since I wind up dragging it around when it is not hooked into the wall mount. Overall I am pleased with this product.

-Update: After using this product many times I must say that I am still pleased. I do however have a few issues. I bought it because it was small but that benefit has proven to be a weakness when working on larger projects that require me to empty and change the bag multiple times. Also the accessories that comes with it should be universal, they are not. Some require an adapter to make them fit on the hose end. This just seems stupid to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Shop Vac, November 9, 2006

I am very happy with this purchase, it is everything I wanted and works very well. It has great suction and is better than most shop vacs because it has a longer hose and longer cord, really great features. I mounted it on my garage wall and that is a great space saver. The only thing that I would like to change is to have wheels on it, like most other shop vacs. It is light and easy to carry but the wheels would be an improvement. I would definitely recommmend this product for routine household use.
