WORKSHOP Wet/Dry Vacs WS1600VA 16-Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner, Heavy-Duty Shop Vacuum Cleaner, High Capacity with Filter, Hose and Attachments for Home Projects & Renovations

After 30+ years my trusty and sturdy Craftsman wet dry shop vacuum died, The noble device once garnered top marks and devastated the competition in the now long defunct Canadian Consumer magazine's shop vac test, astonishing the testers by inhaling a kitchen sink full of water in just six seconds..With parent retailer Sears now gone and their Craftsman tool line with it, I replaced the old shop vacuum with what seemed to be its modern day equivalent, the Workshop Wet/Dry 60 liter vacuum. It was an inspired move.The Workshop has just as large a bin as my old machine and has every bit as much power, perhaps more. It also provides places to store not only all the tools and accessories but the cord too, right on the vacuum itself. The old vacuum was prone to having the bucket fall off if you were to fail to lift it by the flange and instead lifted by what appeared to be handles but were in fact molded ducts to direct exhaust air down. The new one can be securely lifted any way you wish.The last pleasant surprise is that in spite of the passing of more than three decades, the new machine cost a mere $25 more than the old one cost, and that one was bought in 1985 dollars.I would not have thought that a vacuum cleaner would have me this enthusiastic, but there it is. :)Five stars.

I liked everything about the Vacuum Cleaner so far. I use it for general tasks around the house and garage.

Excellent shop vac, at an excellent price! Powerful, large capacity, and well thought out. A few very minor complaints..wet & Hepa filter not included, and a cord that could be longer (it's apx 20 ft), though these are as I said, very minor overall.

Works great and its huge

Amazing
