    Review:Stanley Shop Vac.

    I got this vac as a gift from a family member after they saw it in costco. I put mine together and tried it out. I liked the fact that it was light, easy to move around and does an okay job for the size and price.

    Pros
    Lightweight
    good size
    comes with alot of attachments
    easy to keep clean
    Stainless steel storage bin


    Cons
    low on hp
    wheels are small-might be a plus to some
    not alot of suction
    must change the filter to suck up water
    not that long of a hard wired cord
    instructions are not so great, had to use youtube...

    overall, I would give this a 4 out of 5 for its good design, but power is lacking.

    Nice review, and at least you now can give your other vacuum a vacation when you don't have to do serious vacuuming

    Re: Review:Stanley Shop Vac.

    I think it serves its purpose, Ill keep the old one for "bigger" messes but use this one when I need to do not so large amounts of work. My biggest gripe is with the filter bags that attach side ways to the end of nozzel. Its a bit odd, and they dont stay on that well. Im fine with letting all the dirt enter the steel container, but It would be more cleaning of the tank

    I have this one too... I remove the filter and the bag and never use them... Works great still... And that way I can mix what I vac up. I use it mostly with the crevice tool and put it to where it blows... Then blow all carpet and upholstery. Then vacuum it... That works way better... Try that and see what you think...
