Shop-Vac 971-02-00 1-1/2-Gallon 2 HP Wet/Dry Vacuum

Good suction, wheels make it easy to move, plenty of cord and hose so that you don't have to keep unplugging it. Only negative - doesn't have a place to attach hose for blower function, like the larger models.

My little shop vac is awesome! I live in a park model mobile home and needed a shop vac to clean up outside on my deck...it's a little tornado...worked even better than I had hoped...if you need lots of power in a small unit, this is the vac for you!

I love the All Around Vacuum. I have purchsed two in the past years. The last two that I incouranged neighbors to purchase have defective cords. The cords kink and makes it very hard to wind up the cord.

My question? I need to purchase the vacuum hose only as my is broke. Is this possible?

Thank You

We live with two 70+ pound dogs that shed about 13 months of the year. So, we've gotten rid of any carpet in our house and gone with laminate flooring throughout. My wife has tried Oreck, Shark, and Eureka vacuums and found them lacking (Oreck was too expensive to maintain, the others were too messy to clean).

Based on our experience in my workroom and garage, we tried this small ShopVac for less than $50. We are pleased with the results. It picks up all of the dog hair, slides around easily, and gets under furniture easily. Also, the bags are easy to change and last almost two weeks with daily vacuuming. Finally, it is light enough ( about five pounds ) to carry up and down while doing the stairs.

True, it does not have a HEPA filter, but the bags seem to trap most of the dust in our house. And it does not have on-board storage for additonal tools, but that would just be extra weight that we'd be carrying around.

Perfect when you want to clean up a smaller mess without have to deal with a huge vacuum. If you dealing with bigger messes, you'll need to go with a bigger unit.
