STANLEYWet/Dry Vacuum SL18115, Stainless Steel Tank, 5 Gallon 4HP Shop Vacuum, Portable Style Ideal for Home/Shop/Jobsite Dust Collection Job with Vacuum Attachments, Silver+Yellow

This vacuum is incredible. Easy to use. Picks up super fast. Suction is incredible. Super functional: compact yet powerful to get in those tight spaces. Looks awesome and is durable with a stainless steel body. Used it to vacuum both water in the crawlspace and it's the perfect size for that (anything over 5 gallons crawling out a crawlspace would not be ideal). Just remember to take the blue filter off when vacuuming water, and the dust bag too! Did a big project where I was throwing around sawdust like snow and it got all that up. Broke a glass in the process and got that up too. Pretty much just sucks up anything! Love it!

Works really well for the price, I’ve had it for about 4 years and it still works great.

It’s been a few years since I’ve purchased this so i feel it’s safe to say it’s time for a thorough review. I wasn’t expecting this little vacuum to go that hard but — it sucks in the best way possible. Picks up sawdust, dirt, and car mess like it’s nothing. The wet/dry feature saved me after a spill in the trunk. Easy to carry around and empty, doesn’t take up a ton of space, and the suction is surprisingly strong. Definitely a win for the garage or car detailing! Years later and it works as good as the first day i got it!

Powerful suction, light weight, well-designed and easy to use. Useful, handy attachments. A few other comments:1. When one pulls the vacuum by the hose, it doesn't fall over. This is a sign of a good design.2. The user manual is unclear when and if one should use the included big paper vacuum bag. It is possible to vacuum instead into the tank, but this has problems. I suggest that you use the large bag for vacuuming all dry messes and debris. On first use I didn't, a real mistake. The fabric filter bag over the motor immediately loaded up and became clogged with fine dust, and the vacuum motor began to labor. It took me a while to beat the fabric bag and get rid of the dust. Then I installed the big paper vacuum bag. Better late than never.3. The owner manual illustrations are poor and scanty. Example: No comment on how to fit the large paper vacuum bag over the inlet port neck. Should be obvious, right? No. It is all too easy to get it wrong, slipping the bag neck only partly on the inlet port neck.4. Replacement bags not readily available. No longer available here at Amazon, nor elsewhere on the internet. The big hardware store chains sell supposedly "universal bags," but the ones I found do not fit this Stanley. Want bags? You will have to call Alton Industries, the Stanley parent co. There you will pay a premium price and a rather high cost for shipping and handling.

This is such a nice vacuum. It is light weight so I can easily pick it up by the handy handle or scoot it around on the wheels. It does not tip over like my old one. The suction is good and there are places on the vacuum to store the attachments, so you don't have to look for them when you need them. Very well thought out. So far I'm keeping this in the house which they recommend. This is great around the litter box or wherever there is dirt that is hard to pick up or get to. The hose is long enough I was able to sweep under the bed and get all those dust bunnies. Probably not heavy duty enough for a workshop, but they make other models for that. This is perfect for light use inside the house where your other vacuums cannot reach. Would be perfect for a small apartment.

This is one of the best shop vacs I've had. The attachments are useful, rolls easy, and it has great suction power. Great buy for the $$.

While the unit is pretty small for a shop vac, it has performed admirably! Great power for such a small unit, and while I don’t think I’ll use it for typical shop vac work (I doubt I could use this in the garage shop) due to the incredibly small volume, it definitely works as a powerful all-tasks vacuum for the home. It’s cleaned up pretty much anything I’ve needed to vacuum away, from wet cat food from sloppy cats, to litter knocked out of the pans, to food I’ve accidentally dropped on the ground, and spent coffee grounds that I’ve dumped on the floor due to a powerfully immense hangover.All gone! Delightful!I would definitely recommend this little unit for housework of all kinds, but I’ll likely grab a 10-15 gallon version for work in the shop. I seriously doubt it would be able to handle all the wood dust/shavings from making furniture, but cat puke is not a problem! 👍

Love stanley products. Hold up well
