VacmasterVQ607SFD, 6 Gallon 3 Peak HP Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum

What a great looking vacuum. I haven't tested it out fully, but I thoroughly inspected everything upon assembly and dry vac testing, and everything is perfect (no dents, or missing parts, or anything). I bought this because I needed a vacuum for my apartment, and also because the basement gets water coming up during heavy rainstorms, and I thought a wet vac could help a ton. I haven't yet tested the wet vac, that I have to wait for rain before I can. But I have absolutely no complaints. My little R2D2 has great suction power, all the accessories I need, it's just perfect and I don't regret not buying a slightly more powerful one that doesn't look as handsome as this one.Edit: It rained! And I just had to add a bit to my review because I got to test this baby out in a wet vac situation. And holy cow, did it perform admirably. For the wet vac use alone, this product met and exceeded all expectations! I put it to the test as best I could, sucking up gallons and gallons of water that kept coming in to my basement, and boy does this thing make cleaning floods SO much easier than ever before. It is FAST, much faster than I expected. It handles liquids just as well as it handles solid debris (and both simultaneously).After all was said and done, my floor is dry & clean, and my vac took it like a champ. Filter just needed to be brushed off and dried (I'll clean it if it gets real dirty, but it looks almost new still). Cleaning and drying the inside tank of the vac was simple and quick too, I just wiped it down with a rag and it's as clean as when I first opened the box.I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this vacuum for just about any application. And if I ever need to buy a replacement, I'm sure I'll buy another one of these.

We needed a new vac and it was a hard decision because so many seem in the same price range and reviews were a mixed bag on most of them. This one I picked partly based on the reviews and also based on how it looked. Been using it for a few days now and the suction is great. Picks up everything from dust to sand to cheerios, and it's not loud like other shop type vacs we have had. No issue with moving it around and all the attachments fit snugly and are easy to use. It arrived quickly and no damages or issues. I am so pleased I chose this vac. My hubby also loves it. He said he would recommend this to anyone over the ones most people know. I agree. It's really a good vac and I can see this lasting a number of years. I was worried the 3 HP motor wouldn't be as good as the 6 HP one in our old vac but I don't even notice a difference. The hose is very well made also, which is a pet peeve I have with vac hoses. Lots are made so flimsy you just know you will get a ding or hole in it and need some duct tape before you even had it a couple months. I don't feel this hose will have that issue under normal use. Again, I really am pleased with this purchase and if you are like me, reading all the reviews trying to decide, get this one. It looks nice, works great.

The 4 wheels and handle do have to be attached with a Phillips screwdriver after it arrives.The cannister is a very shinny stainless steel but it is also very thin making it vulnerable to dings and dents.The lid has raised half-moon nubs that the attachments sit on and they aren't very well made. The largest floor attachment doesn't really fit and the rest of them can fall off if the canister isn't treated gently.The handle has a suction release port which allows you to adjust the suction to best serve your needs and it also protects the motor from overheating. The large floor vac attachment has a brush on it which is gentler on hardwood floors. The smaller upholstery attachment has a removeable brush allowing for use on multiple surfaces.I used to have the Dewalt 9 gallon Poly wet/dry vac but imo this works better for around the house. It's much more maneuverable and even though it has a lot less power, its suction efficiency seems better somehow. When I wash my truck or car it isn't taking as long. The hose is well designed in that the hose can rotate while the head and the connection at the vac stay stationary allowing for more of the the aforementioned maneuverability. I like the hose's length as well but the power cord is a little short for my needs but I already had an extension cord to compensate.Overall this is a well thought out wet dry vac but it is without a doubt flimsy, including the bottom cord hook which is simply clipped in place.
