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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Save reason, no longer empty the bucket by hand!

This shop Vac Pump Vac 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 it 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 they all don't even sell it) Thank goodness Revain Prime with 1 day shipping got this to me quickly. 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
  • Few competitors
Cons
