Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shop-Vac 5850600 6-Gallon 3.0 Peak HP Quiet Plus Series Wet/Dry Vacuum
Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
The hose on this model is a much smaller diameter than the larger Shop-Vacs, and often clogs at the worst possible spots. The wheels falling off was also a pain--until I screwed them to the base. The biggest problem, however, is that after a few months the filter will not stay in place, and dust spews out all over the place. I'm currently looking for a bigger/better model.Customer Review: Don't go this cheap
Summary: 2 Stars
I have not been too happy with this vacuum. It works, but the filter is a 3-piece set (sponge, cloth, ring) and the ring keeps falling off, blowing dust everywhere.
The hose is easily clogged because it gets smaller at a fitting just before going into the tank.
The power switch doesn't seem like it will last very long on my model. And my last complaint, it doesn't come with a crevice tool, which is what I usually use, so I had to buy one. Isn't that what most people use? (maybe it's just me..)
UPDATE 10/07 - Yes, my power switch stopped functioning and this will be going into the weekly trash pickup. I will be shopping for a different brand at the big-box store.
UPDATE 11/07 - I bought a Craftsman model for around the same price as this one (on sale) and OH the difference! It is so much more powerful and doesn't clog and it has an actual cartridge filter.
Customer Review: Dust blower
Summary: 1 Stars
The filter design on the vacuum is defective. It consists of a sheet of filter paper which you drape over a cylinder and secure by sliding a big o-ring collar over it.
No matter how good you slide the ring on, it is only a matter of time until the ring slides off. When this happens, you'll know, as the vacuum spurts out an amazing amount of dust. We used this vacuum for about a year during many home renovation projects and I can't count how many times it has blown dust all over our house. We even got into the habit of checking the filter before every time we turned on, but it still happens some times.
It just happened again: dust blown all over my kitchen.
This puppy is getting sold for pennies on the dollar on craigslist and I'm going out to buy another. What a cheap product destined for the landfill.
Customer Review: Good Motor - But an unreliable product with the included filter
Summary: 1 Stars
You cannot expect the world for a lower priced wet/dry vac, but this product's performance ranks well below its price because the included filter is useless. You are better off with any other product unless you immediately throw the paper filter away and upgrade to a cylinder 903-- type filter. The paper filter that comes with the vacuum is secured by a plastic ring that you push (not screw or latch) on. It WILL will fall off during use with no warning - instantly blowing any dust you have collected into the room. By the time you see the dust it is too late. This happened three times in the first day of use (yes, we did push the ring on tightly, especially after the second time - didn't help). We would have been better of never turning it on. Again, purchase this product only if you upgrade the filter prior to first use.Customer Review: Great little cleaner
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a great little vacuum. Very powerful and does a nice job of cleaning. Got it because of its small storage size to fit into my apartment. Use it for getting into areas that an upright just can't reach as well as the tiled floors in the kitchen and bathroom where it does a fine job. Have only had it a few days and don't understand the other bad reviews at all. Only paid $30 for it at Lowes (where they have the 12 gallon for the same amount of money) and its a fantastic value at that price. Only downside is that there is no crevice tool and the 6' cord is rather short.
