Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shop-Vac 201-14 1-Gallon Mini Hang-Up Wet/Dry VacuumCustomer Review: Great for the Price Summary: 4 Stars
UPDATE: I have since replaced this Hangup Mini with the shopvac Hangup wet/dry vacuum, which although lacks the wall mount bucket holder (has a side wall holder instead), no hose holder, no parts holder, it does have a much better way of opening the unit AND can be used as a blower. Other than that, they are pretty much both the same even though the HangUp states it has a slightly higher amperage, which I could not really tell the difference in suction.
I have to say that I was quite surprised by the power of this mini Wet/dry shopvac.
I was expecting dustbuster strength, but nothing as powerful as this. I should have known it would have been shop vac strength but certainly did not expect that from such a small unit. Granted the diameter of the hose is very smaller in comparison to a typical shopvac, but still wide enough to pickup dirt, wood chips and small nails & screws.
It sure is noisy though. I would have to wear ear plugs if I was going to use it for prolonged periods of time.
I have to agree with other users that the power cord is just too small. Perhaps Shop Vac decided that if your going to need an extension cord, might as well make the cord small for easy storage. Regardless, you'll have to tag on a few bucks for an extension cord, unless you already have one.
I love the weight of this Shop Vac and both the handle on top and the insert handle on the top base, makes it very easy to hold and vacuum at the same time. You can even decide not to install the top handle is you so desire.
The cubic beveled shape came in very handy for creating a backpack vacuum. I retrofitted an old backpack so that I could vacuum my workshop & even house with this shop vac on my back. It's so light and easy to maneuver this way compared to buying a similar backpack vacuum that costs well over $1000. Try it, you'll see how much easier it is to vacuum and it fits within most daypacks (Just make sure that their is an exhaust).
Last, I read on one of the posts that some people are using these for their RV's or trucks with a transformer. Although it uses less power than a typical shop Vac, it looks like your still going to need a 1500 watt inverter, rather than a 750-1200 watt power inverter. Just an FYI.
The reason I gave this review 4 stars is because I took off one star for the Noise (damn it's loud) and another for the short powercord, short hose, and the lack of a typical Shop Vac hose exhaust outlet. I have no clue why they did not add a hose exhaust outlet, as it certainly would have been a benefit to use it as a blower.
