Not sure about that particular one.
I have the 16 Gal stainless one and love it. I bought it after using a friends. I've used mine for everything from a kitchen remodel, cleaning the garage, and cleaning up a flooded basement. Nothing's stopped it yet!

I have what is probably the older version of that model.
It has worked great over the years, no complaints. |

Rehabed two houses completely, finished four or five basements, cleaned the cars often, sucked up water from a few basement floods, lots of construction/drywall dust etc. J- |

I recently switched from the rigid one that you posted to a shopvac brand at lowes and the difference is unbelieveable...
I'll never own a rigid again |

I have a Craftsman now and have owned it for years. It's been a good one. However, when I go buy a new one in the future, it will probably be a Ridgid. Not impressed with the newest Craftsman vacs and the Shopvac are even worse IMO.

I have that exact model. It's performed well.

They are chineese garbage. Go get a Shop Vac brand, they are much better and made in the USA

I looked at that model in the store. The hose is stiff, not very flexible.

You will hate yourself when you have to buy filters.

I think I have the same one, but with a older model motor as the top looks a little different. Works well and keeps on running.

I personally think all of them are Chinese made bullshit.
That being said, whatever you do, make sure to by a piece of Chinese made bullshit with the LARGER DIAMETER HOSE. I asked for one a few years ago, and got one with a small hose like on a regular household vac. Makes the damn thing pretty much useless for anything garage related. |

My first one was like that and was a piece of crap. |

I have a 12 gal version and it works well - but not long, so while the functionality is good the HD/Rigid warranty is pretty important. Don't lose your receipt. For me, they consistently last about 2/3 of the way through the warranty, then bite the dust (or stop biting the dust, whatever).

I just had my first Cree lightbulb go out on me the other day, and even though they offer a 10yr warrantee, they require you to provide the bulb, a receipt, and the UPC code from the box as proof of purchase. |

Our shop has this too if i recall, it works great! Barely any loss of suction as long as you take good care of it.

I doubt you'll regret it. I have the model that converts to a blower. It gets decent use, and has been great so far. Had it for a few years. All it needs is to be emptied and clean the filter occasionally.
