Vacmaster VWMB508 1101 5-Gal 5 PHP Remote Control Wall Mount Wet/Dry Vac

Simple, lightweight, and perfectly designed for a clean garage setup. I mounted the Vacmaster 5-gallon wall mount wet/dry vac in my garage and it has been a great upgrade. It’s simple to operate, lightweight, and really well thought out from a day-to-day usability standpoint. Cleanup is easy too, which matters a lot with a wet/dry vac that gets used often. Performance has been excellent. I’ve used it for dirt, water, metal debris, and organic messes, and it has never failed me. Suction is strong and consistent, and it handles switching between different types of cleanup without drama. The hose length is one of my favorite parts. The hoses are long enough that, with it mounted in place, I can clean my entire two-car garage without taking it off the wall. That’s the whole point of a wall mount unit, and this one actually delivers. I also love that it doesn’t take up any floor space, which keeps the garage looking organized. One unexpected bonus: the red color looks great. I keep my garage pretty clean, and this actually looks like a purposeful piece of equipment instead of an eyesore hanging on the wall. If you want a reliable wet/dry vac that’s easy to use, easy to clean, and keeps your floor space open, this is an easy recommendation.

I can’t believe the Bluetooth switch in the handle isn’t standard on all shop vacs at this point. Absolutely brilliant idea. Certainly convenient if you’re using this vac as a dust collector for your slide saw or table saw, and you don’t have the automatic switch receptacle that turns on your shop vac when you turn on your tool. To be clear, the Bluetooth on/off switch is attached to the curved handle accessory that goes between the wand and the hose. That accessory is too big to fit into a pocket so if you need to use it for power tool dust collection and don’t want it connected between the dust port and the hose, it will need to be placed next to your stationary tool to use it. Especially helpful if your stationary tool is battery powered, in which case the plug in auto on switch receptacle wouldn’t work anyhow. Lots cheaper than buying cordless tools and a vac that can communicate with them. Hose size is 1 7/8” and the vac capacity is only about five gallons or less if you use a bag with it, so it’s not a replacement for a real dust collection system, but for the occasionally used home shop that this retired carpenter has now, it should be more than adequate for my slide saw, table saw and cordless sander. I wouldn’t expect it to work with a planer or shaper though. The wall mount is well engineered, and the three mounting holes are in a straight line one above the other, so if you locate a stud, you’re golden. For the price, I think it’s a fantastic deal, and if it came with a dust brush accessory, I’d call it real close to perfect. Absolutely love the Bluetooth switch. Wish I had invented it.

Great design and does several jobs for me. The fact that it can be used as a car wash style vacuum is terrific. It works well in both applications mounted and unmounted. The suction is really good and the remote handle is awesome. The best part of this unit is its incredibly long reach with tons of hose and a 18ft cord. I'm not sure you can match this quality and design for the price and it really feels like a great value to me. I also must add the pictures do not do justice and it looks impressive in person.

I bought this vacuum soley because I liked the Bluetooth on off switch in the hose. It's a very nice option and I like that it comes out of the hose and you can set it beside you in the vehicle. I find with it attached it makes it hard to get into tight areas. I think they could have made the crevis tool a lot better.. I do not like it at all. It's big and doesn't fit in tight areas. To get into those areas like in between seats I use the one that narrows down into a circle at the end and then my old crevis tool from my previous vacuum and it works well. I also like this vacuum because it is quiet. It could be a little stronger suction and the hose could be longer especially if it's supposed to be mounted to a wall it would be nice to be a little longer. I think the price is a little expensive but I think time will tell. I spent more on a different name brand one and it didn't last a year. Overall nice and would probably buy again if nothing else for a spare one.

Great vacuum for the laundry room 👍

I have a long history with wet-dry vacuum cleaners and used to work for this manufacturer, currently retired. In my opinion, I know first hand that the strong suction performance, portability and low noise level is second to no other unit offered within the vacuum marketplace. Additionally, there's a unique innovative remote control which is a huge plus when supporting a very long reach, 42 feet with extended hoses and long electric cord! You can literally be vacuuming areas over 40 feet away from the wet-dry vacuum and turn the unit on/off by a handheld remote control. The unit comes with a rugged wall mount assembly that's very secure allowing you to easily lift the unit from the wall, providing you need portability. Great value as this vacuum has quality features throughout and is way under priced, should easily be retailing for around $250-300! It's definitely one of my favorite tools hanging in my garage!!

Great suction power, long hose so you can reach all parts of the car. Installs easily and ca. be lifted off if you need to go mobile with it. Some reviews state while using the on/off feature on the handle the unit will randomly startup. I have not experienced that issue, but I turn the unit off when I am doing using it for the day. While I’m using it, I will use the handle feature as I’m moving around. Being able to have the unit mounted to the wall, it frees up space and any potential trip hazard of the power cord or the unit itself.

I'm reviewing: Vacmaster VWMB508 1101 5 Gallon Wall-Mount Wet/Dry Vacuum with Remote Control Things I like: I like the remote on the handle. That's really helpful when starting and stopping while far from the can. The vacuum power seems to be decent. The flexible hose is great, the longer hose, meh. Things I don't like: Without the appropriate attachments, it won't pick up things like grass on a door mat, or dirt on a grooved or uneven surface very well. You can't do a "scrub" type motion. There is no brush, only rigid hard plastic nozzles. The attachments and hoses are NOT STANDARD. This means that even if I have an attachment that would do what I need, it will not fit onto this machine. The hose and extensions feel like they aren't made for use with this machine. The larger end goes over the handle, then the next piece fits larger end over that one, and the whole thing feels like it's going to fall apart. It doesn't fit together with any secure fit. The wand bends is you try to put pressure on the end tool. It is nearly impossible to push the tool along on a rug or carpet. You have to pull the tool towards you and lift/drop the handle to create the appropriate seal for suction, This is even using the opening in the handle. Uneven surfaces aren't easy. When you pull the tool towards you, many times the suction hangs up and the wand pieces come apart from each other. And it is difficult to twist the parts to get a different floor angle. I had to go over a single, pea sized rock about 15 times before the floor tool picked it up. Seriously, just really disappointed with these accessories. It needs a better floor tool, with rollers and a lift function, and it needs brushes. I tried to vacuum some grass that blew into my patio from outside weed eating, and it won't come off without brushing. I thought this would save me some work, but it's really very awkward and bulky, without the reward of a good strong clean in one pass.

Very handy and efficient. Works very well. Really appreciate the wall mount so the garage floor stays clear

What a great little vacuum. I set this up on my garage wall. With it's very long suction hose and wifi control this couldn't be any better. I wouldn't wait, just buy this!!

Nice vacuum for the garage but i wish it had attachments for in between seats for cars. The handle switch on/off can be use even if not attached to the hose which is nice. It is a very quiet vaccum compare to the shop-vac i had before. Suction is good. would have given it 5 stars if it had more hose attachments. All in all, it is a nice vacuum and does the job quite well.

I was pretty impressed at how well this unit sucks. It comes with some really long lines which is great also. The holding tank isn't huge on this unit though, it fills up pretty fast if you are cleaning up a mess. For me that was a bit of a pain, but I guess you are trading off a more portable unit for a smaller tank size.

It is being used in our workshop and has performed well so far. It is quiet which we really like but it has not yet been put to the sawdust collection test so cannot offer a review on that front.
