Stanley 8gal Portable Wet/Dry Vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stanley 8-gal 5.0 HP vac has guts—pulling in sawdust, metal shavings, even spills without hesitation—but it also has a couple of quirks you’ll want to know. The poly tank feels durable and the casters make maneuvering tolerable even when it’s heavy. One smart design detail: Stanley offers a cartridge filter that claims compatibility for both wet and dry applications, though in practice most users advise swapping in a foam or “wet-safe” filter when doing liquid cleanup to avoid damage to pleated media. The cord and hose tend to be a bit on the short side, and the unit is louder than a household vacuum (expected at this power), but the blower port and attachments make it versatile. The lid latches are okay—just don’t lift with too much force or drag by the top. All told, it’s a dependable workhorse with trade-offs, especially for folks who alternate between dusty floors and spills.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum works so well. It’s light weight and very durable. I love that I can clean my car with a ton of suction and with plenty of accessories. Works so well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stanley 8 Gallon Dry Vacuum is extremely versatile. I've been using it while I remodel my house. The attachments are easy to use and they're very helpful. It's light weight and easy to move around my garage, my car and house. This product was provided to me by Influenster for testing and honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is fantastic! We keep it in our garage and it really helps keep it clean there. It has no problem with sucking all the wood and metal shavings from my husband's projects. It collects all the liquid spills really well too. Small accessories are great for vacuuming a car. It has a place to stick all the accessories on top of the wheels so they don't go missing. I only wish there were a way to keep the hose with the handle on it too. It is a great and helpful tool thats a homeowner must have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Impressed by the suction of this little vacuum. Great value for what you get and the size isn’t too bulky. The components I’d say are on the cheaper side: the hose I fear won’t last super long and the attachments slip off with some regularity, but overall a good product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already own a cheap version of a wet vac so I was super excited to try this and I got the chance when my car needed freshening up. It doesnt create too much noise, much less than my usual one, was super easy to set up and also came with a variety of helpful accessories.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a whole home vacuum, two Dyson handhelds and two mini stick vacuums but I needed a shop vac for my garage/outdoor areas. I am so glad I chose this Stanley! It’s perfect! The size is great, super portable (I can carry it around while I suck up cobwebs in the garage) and it has great accessories included. I was slightly confused about the dry bag and how to install it but I figured it out (it goes completely over the inside tube vs the instructions made it seem like it slides into a ‘holder’). One huge benefit is the ability to either ‘suck’ or ‘blow’. Blowing is super helpful! I was able to blow out filters and dust out of my other vacuums (you will not believe how much dust is in those stick vacuums!). Great product and seems very durable. Haven’t used the ‘wet’ vac option yet, but plan to use it next spring when I wash my three seasons room. I typically let it air dry but it takes forever, so being able to suck the water in will help expedite the process!
