Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shop-Vac 9520262 5-Gallon 4.5-Peak HP Hang Up Wall Mounted Wet/Dry Vacuum
Customer Review: Not very powerful. Loud and clogs often.
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this vacuum for free as a throw in for buying a saw. I'm real disappointed. This vacuum in meant to be hung on a wall, if you don't it tips very easily. Operation wise it is reasonably powerful, but very loud. The most frustrating thing about this vacuum is the small diameter of the hose, which caused it to clog very easily. Definitely not a 'shop' vac. Best use that I can find is to vacuum the sawdust off my tools, everything else use a full size shopvac.
Update: can't stand it anymore...gave it away. Don't waste your money.
Customer Review: Perfect for your garage or workshop
Summary: 5 Stars
The Shop-Vac Hang-Up 5 gallon Wall-Mounted Wet/Dry Vacuum is an excellent choice for your garage or workshop. Once attached to the wall, it is conveniently accessible for your garage and workshop cleaning tasks.
One of the best features is the vacuum's extra-long hose. In a two-car garage, with the vacuum mounted on the back wall between the car parking spaces, the hose easily reaches all aspects of the car's interior, and even into the trunk.
Another excellent feature is the vacuum's stability, which arises from it's wall-mounted feature. Other typical shop-vac's may not have the stability that this type has, and may frequently tip over. Not so with this vacuum.
Importantly, the suction provided by this vacuum is quite powerful, but not forceful enough to damage your vehicle. The many attachments allow for all types of cleaning projects and makes the vacuum very versatile.
The on/off switch is located on top of the vacuum and is easy to reach. The noise made by this vacuum is typical of other vacuums.
The holding tank is large enough that it does not require emptying after a single use. Emptying the tank is relatively simple to do, and has a convenient bagless feature.
I would recommend this vacuum to a consumer interested in having a mounted vacuum in their workshop or garage. It is not designed for mobility, and therefore I would not recommend this vacuum if a mobile vacuum is the consumer's need. The value is excellent for the price paid.
Customer Review: Pretty decent after all
Summary: 4 Stars
In my shop I have 2 electric miter saws, 1 full size wood lathe
2 belt grinders, 2 bench grinders with wire wheels on them
1 drill press, 1 10" planer 1 metal chop saw, 1 14" bandsaw,
1 6" jointer, 1 10" table saw, 2 router tables, plus a few
hand drills, pad sanders, belt sanders etc etc..
ANyway.. I had a ankle deep acumulation of sawdust/shavings/chips in my shop. This machine is not a super
powerful professional shop tool. On the other hand if you mount
it on the wall and then use the 18' hose to suck up all
the debris in your shop it works pretty well...HOWEVER
first take out the filter that comes in the thing, and replace
it with the foam filter. The finer filter clogged up pretty
quick, however cleaned out well with a blast from the compressor.
The foam filter ups your suction by about 30 percent. The problem I kept having is that I was getting a
clogged hose where the hose meets the machine. Easy to break
up the plug and go on, but annoying.. It seemed to balk the
most at the lathe, I had been turning fir table legs the
day before. This vac is aimed mostly at the fellow who is
going to suck up that bit of dust his hand drill makes
after drilling a small hole. However the photos in the ads show
a guy vacuuming a bandsaw..hmmm.. Anyway after cleaning up
a mess that was more suited to a much more powerfull vac; I suspect that this will keep up with the day to day out put
of chips/sawdust/shavings that all of my machines make. The
concept IS a good one. Mount the vac on the wall in a central
location, and use the long hose to clean up....So for small
to medium work I would rate this vac as most suitable. However
if you want something that will suck a mouse out of the wall
of your garage, no go..Get one of those 10 amp 10 gallon supervacs. But for the day to day shop upkeep... It will do...
And after the HARD work is done I will put the finer filter
back on, cause with the foam filter on, while you get more
suction, you also get a LOT of dust discharge.. The other
filter while it does reduce the suction, also reduces the dust
output to almost nothing.....
So for convenient shop cleanup this is a good thing...Get one...
Customer Review: Quality Shop Vac, Convenient Package
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
Fairly quiet (lets face it, it's a shop vac, it will make some noise)
Plenty of power
Large bucket capacity
Filter does not clog easily
Good pre-filter extends the run time
Hanging on the wall, it is never in the way and is always ready for use
Quality 18' hose is very convenient
Cons:
You must remove it from the wall to empty the bucket
The wall mounted accessory rack does not hold all the attachments
This is an update of a review that I wrote in January. I have now owned this product for 4 or 5 months and I am still very satisfied. I do a decent amount of wood work and this vac holds its own with my saws, sanders and router table. It is very convenient to have this hanging on the wall, out of the way and ready to go at any time. The other night I wanted to do some sanding, I plugged my sander into power and hooked up the 18' vacuum hose and off I went. It has enough flow to keep up with the power tools and enough suction for carpets and car seats. Noise level is good for a shop vac and the long hose and wall mount capability allow you to mount it away from your work area further reducing the noise.
Customer Review: STRONG...BUT NOISY
Summary: 4 Stars
I originally purchased this vac in 2002. I mostly use this little vac on a 21/2 inch dust collection system for my table saw and miter saw. It does a real good job of removing dust and chips from the two tools. I have it hanging on a 10x10 post to one side of my small shop and can vacuum the whole shop floor with the 18 foot vac hose that came with the machine. It has a good selection of tools and filter replacement is fast and easy. However, it is noisy. It actually drowns out the sound of my table saw. The 4" Delta dust collector I use for my planer and jointer is actually quieter than this little vac. I will continue to use it (maybe build a sound box for it), because it does do a great job. Except for the noise level, I would reccommend it to anyone.
An update...Nov. 2004...8 months after I got this machine it started making strange growling sounds at shutdown, and was getting very hot. I called Shop Vac's customer service and the rep was extremely helpful. She told me to put it in the orig box and ship it back to them and they would replace or repair it free. I commented that the orig box was long gone, and could I use a generic box. She said never mind, we will send you a new unit and you put the old one in that box and send it back. Three days later the new machine showed up, I unpacked it and repacked the old one, applied the shipping label they supplied and sent it back. The replacement machine has worked flawlessly now for about a year and a half. Want to thank Shop Vac for their excellent customer service.
Update...April 2005..This little vac is still hanging on it's post and doing a great job. It probably averages 2-3 hours of run time every day and has performed perfectly. It now only services the miter saw, r/o sanders, large disc sander and of course cleaning the shop( everything else is on the 4"). Still highly recommend this vac...it is a great little tool.
UPDATE...JANUARY 2007..It's still hanging on its post and still doing a great job. Ya gotta love a machine that keeps on delivering great performance year after year. Still highly recommend this vac.
STILL JAN 2007...shortly after writing the update above my little vac began to make weird noises at shutdown. I contacted my local repair shop and was told if they had to get into the motor it would cost over $100 to repair. They recommended that I contact Shopvac direct. I called the 1-800 number and after speaking to a very nice young lady, discovered I could purchase a new motor for $40, including shipping. Needless to say I ordered one. It took about ten days to arrive in the mail and took less than 15 minutes to install. My little vac is once again doing its job, still hanging on the same post for over five years. I think any electrical appliance that will last five years with the use and abuse this one has had is a great machine. Still highly recommend.
