It's too bad the the name brand is Shop-Vac, because as a true shop vac it doesn't have enough capacity, power or hose diameter. It should be called a garage vac, because it's absolutely perfect as a car and garage vacuum. Being wall mounted it's never in the way, while the long hose makes it easy to reach the entire car interior even when you park it just outside of the garage. It is loud, but all vacuums are loud, so don't let those who say it's abnormally so influence you.
I have one quibble. The wall mount is designed so that the canister hangs from it. To empty it you would have to take the entire unit off the wall, then detach the motor section and put it somewhere while you empty the canister. A much handier arrangement is to have the motor section hung from the mount, so when you want to empty the canister you can unlatch it and drop it, leaving the motor section still hanging. I made a 6 inch by 6 inch 'L' bracket from a 2x4, which the motor section hangs from by its handle.
