Was here when we needed it
We bought our first Shop-Vac, a 10-gallon, 4HP unit, back in 2005 and it served us well for 6 years, sucking up water quickly off the basement floor - sorry to say but we get a little bit of flooding from time to time when it rains a lot. And, believe it or not, we also used it to get the sand out of our pool filter a couple of times - several bucketfulls. Well... a couple of weeks ago that unit kicked the bucket, so to speak and we immediately ordered its successor. This one.

It's bigger and more powerful which, when it comes to Shop-Vacs that are expected to suck in water and sand, translates to 'better'.

Some things worth noting and which I like about this vac include:

- 6.5 HP, quiet motor
- 16-gallon capacity
- Simple construction - it's basically a bucket with an electric motor on top, a big hose and some accessories.
- Easy to take apart and reassemble. The hose comes off easily and so does the top.
- Nice drain, it would...

Shop Vac over Ridgid-my own test
I owned a Craftsman 16 gal for about 12 years then couple months ago someone(s) stole it and many of my tools from garage. So I went on search for new vac. The Craftsman was loud but it sucked up everything, wet or dry. So after reading reviews I settled on the Shop-Vac. I use vac for woodworking, sucking up water off patio, and general cleanup. I got the Lowes version which is identical to this one. After putting it together I tested it on several surfaces and types of debris. It is MUCH less noisey than the old Craftsman. You can actually talk over it while running. However the suction is much less. So I went to HD and got the Ridgid WD1450 model (14 gal)in hopeing it had better suction power. The Ridgid was quite as well. But it too seemed to lack very good suction. I put them side by side and compared using pleated filter on both. The SV has a foot longer hose and the hose seems more flexible and higher quality. The positive lock on the SV is superior to the Ridgid...
Solid High-End Performer
I have owned this vac for 2 weeks. Overall it is a well built and simple machine to use. The assembly instructions are reasonable and it comes with several difference nozzle options and a mesh bag that holds accessories together when not in use.

Prior to this purchase, I own a Rigid 4.5HP vac that I still use in another portion of my home. I purchased this unit to help with cleanup in my garage during wet winter months where dirt and water accumulate underneath my vehicles. I considered purchase of the unit with an integrated water pump, but realized that for my application this would not be of great benefit.

Here are the pros/cons of this vac.

Pros:
1) Good performance with all included accessories
2) Easy access to bin - removal of top engine is very simple
3) Low noise in comparison to other shop vacs I've owned, despite increased HP (actually this is my favorite feature in this otherwise well-build vac unit)
4) Simple filter...
