5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!, March 18, 2004

This review is from: Shop-Vac 962-16-00 16-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)

This Shop-Vac is wonderful! It came with many accessories, and this vacuum is really powerful. I am replastering the walls in my house, and with the shop-vac running in the room, the dust level has been considerably lowered. As for the wet-vac, our basement flooded recently, and we removed about 60 gallons of water in no time. An excellent product, and easy to use. Definitely one of the best home improvement purchases we have made.

Recently, when we had two heavy rain days in a row - my basement pump quit working & the water rushed into the my book storage rooms. I have an online bookstore with over 30,000 books in storage. This would have been a nightmare had it not been for the Shop-Vac 962. Not only did it vac up the water - it did is so fast that my books were saved from being damaged. Thank you!!

This review is from: Shop-Vac 962-16-00 16-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)

In view of better value for money, I chose this Commercial Vac. I'm thoroughly impressed... I use it as a Home vac and it saved me the miseries that the other home brands normally come with. I guess What's good for a professional is good for home use as well... it has amazing power and is very easy to use. maintenance of the product is cheap and simple.
