Customer Reviews

A teenage son, five large long-haired dogs, and a rural country home - these three things combined have been the cause of death for a couple of my vacuum cleaners. I bought a 6HP ShopVac about five years ago, and I doubt I'll ever vacuum or sweep again with anything but my ShopVac. I haul out my ShopVac and suck up everything that's not fastened down! Dirt and leaves, cobwebs (with spiders), dog hair and dust bunnies, candy wrappers, an occasional dirty sock (gotta watch out for that, these ShopVacs have great suction), and two or even a UFO (Unidentified Fallen Object). A house that's going to have a lot of pets, children or located in a rural area should be sold with a ShopVac as part of the escrow. Forget diamonds - ShopVac is a girl's best friend. Seriously, I highly recommend this unit.

I bought this after realizing the very expensive ($ 300 - $ 800) drywall vacuums use the same dust collection principle and have similar power (based on amp draw). I added a HEPA filter, drywall dust collection bag, and used inexpensive Hyde screen Sanders and the job was dust free. After the drywall project, so I cleaned up sawdust in my shop and vacuumed out the wood stove ashes while I was at it. Absolutely no dust escaped the bag and the inside of the vacuum was as clean as the day I received it. I am 100% satisfied and would recommend this product.
