My Favorite Tool! (Toy?)
I bought the 16Gal Wet/Dry Vac w/blower in Dec 06 just before moving into a new house- thinking it would be nice to have a utility vac for indoor/outdoor use, car cleaning etc. It quickly became a lifesaver as our basement flooded and I was able to quickly clean out the place with the strong suction and usefool tool assortment. The detachable blower acts as a nice "dryer" by just setting it on a floor without attachments. It will dry about a 2x5 space in 5-10 minutes, and I've left the blower on for hours without any trouble.
The detachable "blower" is a cool funtion and is quite powerful- great for blowing leaves around, out of gutters etc.
The 16Gallon capacity is just right. When full of water, it's quite heavy to lift up to a sink etc. There is a removable plug to drain outside or into a floor drain to make that easier.
This Fall (07) I purchased the optional gutter cleaning kit and easily cleaned out my gutters. With my existing vac assortment, the gutter pack allows me to reach heights of 10-15 feet above ground, so I can reach most spots just standing on the ground. I share it with my neighbors and am a local hero with that little $20 add-on.
This December 07, the Vac was again called into service as we got another "storm of the century" in Seattle. Again clearing water and blowing dry- hours of continuous operation without trouble.
Like many Sears products, this item cycles in and out of sales pricing. I bought mine at a great price, well below the standard list price today, so if you can wait a bit...you might be able to catch a great deal; but if you can't, I would say it's worth the full $120.

as blower, won't last long
This product as a great idea, nearly well executed. I loved mine for a few months. If you use it predominantly as a shop vac it's fine. Use it as a blower and you'd better only ever blow leaves in one direction. The issue is that the impeller is made of flimsy aluminum. At those very high revs, as you swing the blower around, as you have to, the gyroscopic forces on that impeller stress it. The impeller will shear off 1/2" from the axis. I can be pretty confident in predicting that because it happened to me twice.
How twice? When the rigid one broke, short both a vac and a blower, I went and bought a Craftsman. When that broke within months, I recognized the identacle impeller on taking that one apart too.
I presume Home Depet/Rigid re-brands Craftsman items or they have a common manufacturer. It was opportunistic of both companies to make the motor a detachable blower, but they should have re-engineered the impeller for the different manner of use. Pity. Great idea but like a chain is as strong as the weakest link, with that flimsy impeller I have 32 gallons of landfill and a story to tell.

5 years and still going!
This is one of our favorite tools for the house and yard. We use it more than the house vacuum. It's so powerful. Loud (I wear noise canceling headphones when I operate it), but powerful. With three dogs that shed, this is a must for keeping our house clean. We purchase the blue HEPA filters to reduce allergens. We also use the blower all the time because we live under 6-7 live oak that drop leaves 12 months out of the year. This machine has never let us down. A few filter changes over the years, that's it. Great product, please don't ever discontinue this item.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Good vac for the price...
I bought this vac to vacuum my vehicles and because it has the detachable blower. So far has done a real good job, no problems. I only give it 4 stars because I would like this vac to have more attachments, like one of those big brushes....this one did not have one and I have to purchase it separate. I paid 109.00 and I looked at other major stores and they all were more expensive and it did not have as much power than this one.

Unreliable
Bought this wet/dry & blower in order to not have two tools (all-in-one) in my shed. Well I have mainly used it as a leave blower for the last 4 months and it has work fine until I used it to clean up my shed and vacuum sawdust and other debris. After about an hour or so of vacuuming the unit would not turn on. After several attempts to let it cool down (just a thought) still the same results, nothing. Lucky I purchase the extended warranty even though the unit is only 6 months old. Either way I wait for my store credit to try it again.

Yes, it really does two things well
I generally don't like tools that try to be two things at the same time. But for my purposes, This blower/vac combination is excellent. I had the previous generation model of this vac until it failed nearly 15 years later. This unit seems even nicer. Super powerful motor. Highly recommended.

The Best
I had this vac for 15 years and will still suck the paint off a wall! The blower is just as good, I can't find a gas one with the same velocity! Unlike Shop Vac brand I don't get dust blowing everywhere in my shop when I'm cleaning up. If you need a good vac, this is the one.
I would recommend this product to a friend.
