Anybody have any experience with this model or brand? For $30 it's got to be worth a try, right? Shop Vac 5.5-HP (Peak), 12-Gallon Wet/Dry Vac barry
really? wow. I musta been sleeping. 12 gallons is decent. I actually have the 6 gallon one. To be quite honest it is good, but the thing you need to look for in a shop-vac is lift. 102" of lift is better than 90" of lift.
It doesn't say anything about Lift. I pulled the trigger on it anyway. Even if it sucks (no pun intended), it only cost $30.
I ordered one and picked it up from Lowes a few hours ago. I vacuumed out my car (dry) and it seemed to be pretty good. It definitely has plenty of suction. It comes with a few accessories, but no brush head for agitating the dirt while using it, so I might pick one of those up next time I'm in Lowes. I'm not a pro so I can't say whether or not it would be appropriate for people that would need to use it every day, but for a weekend warrior like me I'd say it was a pretty good deal. For $30 you can't go wrong. barry
I wish the inches of lift was easier to find. I'm using an old 3.25 HP craftsman and would like to upgrade, but I would like to know the inches of lift. Damn it.
I looked on the box and I couldn't see anything about lift. Nothing in the booklet either. FWIW, the model number is 9304211. I couldn't find much information online.
