Shop-Vac 9251310 10-Gallon 5.0 Peak HP Drywall Wet/Dry Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this shop-vac before starting a big DIY drywall project, and it's been OK.It has quite a bit of suction, and it has a long hose and power cord, so you can usually drag it around without too much trouble.It's not too loud, and so far, it's done fine.The only thing I really don't like is that the intake has a kind of L-curve (apparently to stop objects from slamming into the filter) that tends to trap drywall crumbs and paper until the hose is blocked.Cleaning drywall dust out of the trap is easy enough, but no fun.

The main thing I still don't know, and wish I did, is whether the vacuum is particularly suited to drywall (i.e., some kind of dust-resistant motor), or whether it's just a normal shop-vac with a HEPA filter and the drywall tools.If so, you might want to consider getting a different Shop-Vac plus the cleanstream filter, drywall tool attachments, and some drywall dust bags.

Here's what you could get if you chose a different vacuum:

1) A blower.Most of the new, relatively quiet shop-vacs don't function as a blower, because instead of one big exhaust port that you could hook to a hose, they have a bunch of smaller ports to reduce noice (slightly).This vacuum sucks (which is good), but doesn't blow (which might not be good, if you want a blower).

2) A pump.You can use this shop-vac to suck up water into the bucket, but you will have to pour out the bucket every ten gallons, or set the shop-vac someplace where it can drain and use a long hose.Some of the others come with a pump, so you can drain a basement or a swimming pool by sucking the water into your shop-vac and letting it pump uphill.

3) More suction.More suction is always good.The drywall shop-vac does fine for piles of drywall dust and sawdust, but there is always a little bit left.I often wonder whether a little more power would do a little better.

4) Bigger or smaller bucket size.I have no problem with 10 gallons, but you might want something smaller and more manueverable, or bigger so that you have to empty it less often.

5) Household clean-up tools.This vac comes with the 2 1/2 inch wide toolset, which isn't that great for cleaning your house or car.You can buy the other hoses, but some of the other vacs might come with them.
