Looks good, I just got a 2.5 gallon craftsman one about a month ago and I really like it. Mine was around 50 I think and it half the size so it looks like thats a deal.

Here is a $10 off $25 or more purchase coupon that you can use to bring the price down to $40.

Life Takes Visa

You should be able to send one to each email address you have.

They are one time use, if you use self-checkout then you can pay with any credit card you want.

Fill out the name and address anyway you want, it does not matter.

gmblack3 - bought this vac last friday!

Pros.

1. kills my rigid 4 gallon I currently had that died on me. (lasted about a year)

2. Right out of the box I was making single passes in some really nasty vehicles. So it's 5.5hp engine really sucks!

3. Best $50 anyone could spend if planning on buying a shop vac thats light portable.

4. Oh yea comes with the claw and crevice tool.

5. Did I mention QUIET!

6. can also be used as a blower.


Cons

1. Longer hose would be nice, but I believe you would lose suction power.....

2. Cord holder on the side is kinda half-ass, seems lose to me with no adjustment.

3. Might be hard to find one @ $50 so go get it !





$53 out the door for a compact powerful shopvac

Thanks for the feedback Ehuth1.

I am thinking about getting this for my mobile setup or just keep this one at the house and my Ridgid wall mount in the trailer.

I went by today to pick up a few other items. They had the shopvac at $59 on the shelf sticker, so you might want to bring a print out of the webpage with you.

The wife and I used 3 different $10 off $25 coupons on different items making seperate purchases. So tomorrow I will get the vac using another $10 off coupon.

Anyone have any alternatives for a longer hose? How's the size comparison to the 4.5 Rigid Portable Vac?

How is the blowing on this?

Eh well I went and picked one up. No problem getting the price as it was 15% off all shopvac's this week.. then added the 10 dollar visa thing thanks to Bryan.
