    Best buy June 14, 2007

    Great features at a low price. Wide set casters roll easy and keep it from tipping over. Four HP motor has powerful suction and the snap lock hose stays connected when you pull it around with the hose. All the tools store on the base so they are always handy and the blower connection lets it double as a blower. The drain is so handy when picking up liquids and has a large easy to use on/off switch.

    No bags January 14, 2009

    I purchased this unit because of the special pricing. Only after I had it for a while and threw away the packagging did I realize that you cannot use a bag with this unit. The store sells bags for just about every other size wet-dry vac and I expected to be able to purchase one for this unit. Since the price of the filters are so high I like to use a bag to collect the large debris and use the filter to get any small particles the bags let thru. It is cheaper to replace the bags while I can use the filter much longer. I would not purchase this unit again since it doesn't support using a bag and Sears does not sell bags for this size unit.

    easy to use,powerful,reliable

    Bought this for my husband last year for Christmas and it has come in handy on several occasions.  He loves pulling it out and using it whenever possible.  It was a great price and the quality is wonderful!

    Tough little tyke April 22, 2009
    By BlueCrewGuyInMA of Lowell, MA
    Pros:
    powerful,easy to use,reliable

    I purchased this wet-dry vac to clear water out of our basement following a massive flood we had here in 2006. We had about 3" of water on the floor, and this was the very last vac available at our store (and we were the last ones in the region to still have any!). It worked like a charm, sucking water quickly and effortlessly.

    I do recommend a few things: the hepa filter that's treated with teflon is a must. It's got great filtration and doesn't have to be removed for wet pick-up. Also, the noise/air diffuser that goes on the exhaust port makes a big difference with noise and keeping dust from flying everywhere for dry pick-up. The extensions and hose handle also make using the vac much more comfortable, which is no small thing, especially when cleaning up large jobs.

    If you're going to be doing a lot of wet pick-up, I also recommend the optional pump (16592) that can attach to the opening at the bottom. It can keep you from having to constantly empty the tank.

    I whole-heartedly recommend this vac.

    My father in law is even impressed. March 26, 2009
    By Swwbbp of Omaha, NE

    Ripped out a shower pan with my father in law and before the final tear out he pulled it out to get the small stuff out of the way so he could sweep up the tile pieces. He didn't even think that this could pick up the tile, but man it has some power. The only negative is probably a possitive, but it is a pain to use on floor mats as the mat moves everywhere the nozzel does.
