I saw this sale on sears for father's day.

http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?...00100383&AFFL=Y

it's a craftsman wet-dry vac for $15 1.5 peak hp... good deal?

 

looks like it is cheap even before the sale!!
and it has a high rating-
i dont have one, but do know lotsa guys who use these.
i have a vac n blow- and it was about 10 times that cost!!

i say that you go for it (not much to lose for that cost), and do a write up on what you think about it after you use it- heck, you have me interested now !!

 

I just placed an order.. my only concern is the 1.5 hp but for $15 it's worth a try. I think the Vacnblow has 4 hp?

 

Yeah, that is a good price for one of those mini wet-dry vacs. These work pretty well for interior cleaning, and are especially useful if you don't have space for one of the bigger, more powerful units. I think I paid about $25 for essentially the same product a number of years ago.

 

It's only $15. So, it's no big deal if you don't like it. However, for around $60 or so you could have gotten a wet/dry vac with at least 4 hp which is definitely enough power to get the job done.

Right now I'm using a machine that has 4 hp. I think it's a Rigid, but I would love to upgrade to a 5 hp machine. The extra power would be great for extracting water from wet carpets.

 

Well, my 6.25 hp Stainless steel Shop Vac does a lot more than a mini unit, but also set me back $130. Has a bigger hose, more efficient filter elements, and all. If you have the spare change and space to store it, by all means go for something like that. But if you are tight on space and are only going to use the vacuum for car interiors, those mini units do a surprisingly good job.

 

thanks for the input everyone! i will be picking this up from sears soon.

 

be sure to post up your review of it !

 

Just got done washing the car, and this wet and dry vac made everything so much easier! I've been wanting one of these for a while, but couldn't find myself spending the money; but for $15 this is a very good deal.

The shopvac it self is very small, very portable. The only gripe I have is that I wish the 4ft hose attachment were a little bit longer!

 

i got my 6.5 HP Shop Vac WEt/Dry/Blower I LOVE IT!!! its the best...
