Great so far

Pros: powerful
"Vacuum seems to work great so far. I've only had it for a couple weeks. I really like the size, not too big, not too small. My only wish would be that I would prefer a longer power cord. But, I won't lower my review because it is clearly stated the length of the power cord."

Great

"We chose the Vacmaster because of all the great reviews and accessories for the price. I just cleaned out my car yesterday and the power on this thing is amazing! The only reason why I gave it 4 stars was that one of the accessories cracked while I was vacuuming the car. Otherwise, this was a great purchase."

Vacmaster

Pros: great suction!, easily rolls in all directions!
Cons: difficult to take off attachments.
Model Number: 12 Gal/ 5 Peak HP
"Love the vacuum. Garage never looked so good!! Cobwebs and dirt all gone. I do have problems keeping the attachments on. If made real tight, impossible to get off and change. Called company and was told to put attachments on in an angle."

a pleasent surprise

"I've had a ton of shop vacs , this one is a keeper, I recomend it with no reservations for non commercial users ( the only reason I say non commercial is the durability of the plastic parts, not the performance)"

Smart design

Model Number: Vacmaster 12 gal/5 hp
"I was so pleasantly surprised with this shop vac I had to share the news. I've had it about 3 months and used it about 15 times. So far, I am very impressed. It was very well thought-out. For example, you can't tell from the picture, but just about every attachment easily mounts to a receptacle on the barrel for very quick/easy access. It is a very powerful vacuum. I have a habit of modifying things, and this vac is no exception. To preserve the somewhat spendy paper filter, I cut the bottom out of a cheap cannister-style vacuum bag and slide it over the paper filter, securing it at the top with a rubber band. This extends the life of the paper filter that comes from the factory and provides a "double filtration" advantage. Since the vac motor is strong, I get excellent suction even with the two-filter system. The on/off switch is very large and mounted at the top for easy access. The unit came with just about all attachments that you normally need. I haven't used the blower configuration yet, but I can tell it is a quick and easy transition. The vac is very solidly built and I would expect good longevity. I can't think of any negatives with one small exception: I purchased it on sale for under seventy bucks, so you may want to wait for a Costco special before purchasing."
