This shopvac will get any job done. Wet or dry nothing will stand in its way. Clean up is easy too. The perfect shopvac.

I bought this a few months ago, to empty the water out of our hot tub. For that purpose, I bought the VF7000 wet filter. Changing the filter was easy. Changing back to the supplied filter was a little harder. Getting the seal wet seems to make removal a little harder.Emptying the unit of water can be done with the drain plug, I believe. I never used this feature, resorting to unclamping the top and dumping the contents. That worked fine for my purposes.The hose and attachments are simple to use. I found them sizeable, and not altogether small enough sized for my hands, which are large. A handle smaller than the hose size would be helpful.Because the suction is so powerful, I had to step on loose carpets at the same time as vacuuming. Having the attachments made with a bristle or corrugated edges might help this aspect, which currently makes it kind of hard to use for those carpets, as I don’t usually vacuum with my feet straddling what I am cleaning.I was picking up drywall bits. The filter clogged up substantially really quickly. It didn’t seem to affect suction, but it made emptying the unit dustier than I expected. I used another vacuum to suck the dust out from between the pleats. I have not ever had to do that with my other vacuum systems.Storage of the hose ends on the caster feet is easy. I am left wondering if it will eventually cause me to nibble the end of the rigid tubing, because it only holds the very end.Storing the wire can be done around the handle. I have not used that feature, because it appears it would cause the wire to interfere with my grip on the unit. The cord is long, which means you don’t need an extension when you are close enough to an outlet. The cord is not self-retracting.

I thought it would only be used once in awhile but as I continue to practice wood working I tend to use it more and more to clean up all my ridged tools

Been hanging drywall and great for all clean up but need a bag for all the fine dust!

I love the 2 inch diameter hose, powerful motor, only downfall is the filter, needs a better way to filter.. The bags aren’t reusable and the filter that comes with the vac, gets blocked quickly

I like the power of this vacuum but most for me are the locking system for the hoses, they simply stay together at all times

I brought it a few weeks ago and I love it. Great product to have

I specifically chose this unit because it offered the highest horsepower with smallest capacity with the 2.5″ hose. If I could have gotten a 5 or 6 gallon with this motor and hose size it would be most ideal. The unit has great suction and the noise level is not overly loud (some reviewers complained it’s too loud) I like the large 2.5″ hoses, they just work better.

i bought this to assist in dryer vent cleaning. It works awesome for me. Lots of power. Only issues i have is the hose is not very maneuverable and could be a little longer. Being stainless steel and using it for what I do, it produces alot of static electricity. So I am constantly getting shocked.

Hooked it up to my 10″ table saw, 12″ planner, 10″ power miter saw and router table. Pulled in sawdust very well keeping my shop clean.

I love that the department bought these. We got the ones with the extra accessories for the cars. I love the extra long hose and the skinny nozzle to fit in between the seats.

I bought this shop vac a month ago and I love it. It’s powerful and easy to use. I wish I would have bought one a long time ago!

Bought this a few months ago and I am using it in a dust collection system. The hose for connecting it to the various stations is about 12 feet long and is connected to a home made cyclone. Even with all that distance the power at the nozzle will suck the chrome off a trailer hitch

I bought this for my husband because I am obsessed with performance machines. I apologize for not having a photo or video. But if I had one or the other, you would see the face of a satisfied man!! He uses it to clean the car, vacuum large areas wet and dry. I started to buy a smaller one but for a few more dollars I decided on a larger one and I’m quite satisfied with the performance of it. The videos I watched were also convincing!
