Bought one back in 2005 and it's still working well, sucking up water quickly off the basement floor - sorry to say but we get a little bit of flooding from time to time, when it rains a lot. And, believe it or not, we also used it to get the sand out of our pool filter a couple of times - several bucketfulls.
The things I liked about this vac are:
- 4 HP, 7.9A motor
- Simple construction - it's basically a bucket with an electric motor on top, a big hose and some accessories.
- Easy to take apart and reassemble. The hose comes off easily and so does the top.
- Nice drain, it would empty the 10-gallon bucket in less than half a minute.
- Easy to move around on 3 little caster wheels.
- Great suction power - it fills up the 10 gallons in a couple of minutes and would remove the water literally to the last drop.
One thing that could be improved is the length of the power cord. I could use more than 18 feet. And it would be nice if the cord could be detached from the vac, making it easier to move it around when the bucket needs emptying.
In spite of the little shortcomings, it still gets its 5 stars (translates into "I love it" on Amazon's stars scale) because not only do I love it but I'd probably buy a replacement if the one we have now stopped working. But, 5 years after we bought it, it did NOT stop working. Therefore the endorsement.Get more detail about Shop-Vac 9254010 10-Gallon 4.0-PeakHP Right Stuff Wet/Dry Vacuum.
