Was recently at Wal-mart trying to finish up all my Christmas shopping & get that out of the way, stumbled upon this 1 ½ gallon shop vac on sale for $19.95

I was like hey, what the hell. Iv'e been looking for something much smaller on mobile jobs, 16gallon 5hp shop vac is a beast to lug around all the time. Plus its walmart, If I didn't like it I was sure as hell bringing it back. Anyhow, got it home, set it up. And dear lord, this thing is just as powerful as my rigid 16 gal. I almost couldn't believe it at first but yup, put it to the test and vacuumed my carpeted stairs and it got everyyyyyyy little thing up. I'll gladly empty it more instead of lugging the big one around.

Anyhow, the only cons iv'e found are the hose could be longer (attached a spare, that's fixed)
the cord is a bit short but hey, that's what extension cords are for.

This is not a "full review" as such, just letting people know about it. Maybe those looking for powerful, small, portable shop vac on a budget.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I have the 5 gallon version and love it. You don't have to empty it as much as you would think....and when you do its so much easyer to deal with then the big shop vacs.
 
Those are nice machines. Anything is better than Rigid.

When using shop vacs, I prefer the bag insert. When it's full, just toss it and the canister and filter remain clean.
