Review on Powerful 12 Gallon Shop-Vac 5821200 Wet/Dry Pump Vac - 5.0 Peak Horsepower (1-Pack) by Michael Boyce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Save reason, no longer empty the bucket by hand!

This shop vacuum pump vacuum pump saves your health! I have a leaky basement that I'm still trying to fix, and after the rainstorms my 12-gallon wet and dry vacuum filled up every 45 minutes, day or night. The manual, of course, says not to leave it unattended, but I left this thing on all night so I could sleep, and I woke up to a dry basement, not a flooded one. Literally no shop around me has this line of Shop Vacs! (Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, True Value, etc. don't even stock it). Thank goodness Revain Prime got this to me quickly with 1 day shipping. It's SO nice to be able to plug in a garden hose, turn it on, and let it do its job during a thunderstorm. I posted a video of water pouring out of a garden hose, that speed was enough to fill my 12 gallon vacuum in under an hour! Collect water, it's more for garbage collection. I had a 2.5" Hard Wet attachment from Home Depot and it fit like a glove! It's essentially a scraper with a thin hole on either side to collect water from a hard surface. If you suck up water you need this nozzle, like the one included in the kit, it doesn't drain the water well.

Pros
  • Industry and science
Cons
  • threadbare
