Stanley SL18910P-3 Wet/Dry, 3 Gallon, 3 Horsepower, Portable Car Vacuum, 3.0 HP AC, Black+Yellow

Used it for 4 years almost daily, it is a solid product!

After reading the reviews I ordered the Stanley SL18910P-3 Wet/Dry Vac and I am so happy I did. The suction is fantastic, the capacity is perfect and it is very well manufactured not flimsy at all. Easy to handle and carry. We needed this to clean the port in our air conditioner as shown by a past buyer. Perfect, easy to clean when used as a vacuum too.I actually would have paid more after using it an seeing the quality.Shipped in original box and then in the Amazon box for protection. Shipped fast via Prime.

We were in need of a shop vac. We new pets in our home. I bought this small model after reading the "Obsessed LatinaBarbie's" review. We have lops and litter mess is not much more than than what a cat owner deals with. The sanitary issue was another challenge I had and the wife was not happy about me using her vac.I forgot about the grass. Buns eat alot of grass. The grass clogs small vacuum hoses and they are a bear to unclog.Plain and simple the Stanley vacuum works outstanding. Excellent. Oh yes the grass.It picked the grass up and sucked it down the narrow hose till enough was there to clog.Fear not. Remove the narrow hose from the suction side and insert into the blower side. Grass blown out the other end with little effort.It is almost a 5 star product. Longer hose or available to acquire. Longer power cord would help tremendously as wellIndoor rabbit approved.

I just tried this for the first time. Very pleased. I wanted this to use on my cars, and was concerned it wasn’t powerful enough. It did a fine job. The 2 problems are the short cord and hose. I have ordered a longer hose and the electrical cord is easy to overcome. I read some other reviews previous to buying, and one said it was quiet. Don’t believe it. No shop vac is quiet!! This is worth the money and convenience.

Top feature is great suction! It is also lightweight and easy to maneuver. The cord is awful short but we solved that by adding a short extension cord. The shell is plastic but sturdy. We’ve had it for three years and use it in the home and garage. It works well and has a great price. Highly recommend and will buy again when the need arises.

Great for indoor/ outdoor use. Light weight . Great buy

Lightweight and is reasonably powerful. Can't compete with the Bigger bucket vacs but it does the job well for how small it is . 5stars because no complaints.

EDIT: I wasn't a fan of this vacuum but Customer Service at Alton Industries really stepped up and made things right for me. It's actually not made by Stanley but instead by ALTON Industries. Stanley will not accept any customer service with this vacuum or other Stanley vacuums and they direct you instead to call Alton since they made it. Alton contact info is easy to find online.I didn't have the best luck with this STANLEY SL18910P-3 Wet/Dry, 3 Gallon, 3 Horsepower vacuum, the stainless one in tis size is much better but I now have the 2.5 GALLON 3 MAX HP PORTABLE VACUUM Model: SL18134P that like, I also like the fact that the hose screws onto the tub, it wont pop out and it has a nice strong suction and good form factor/foot print. EDIT: Looks like this one is no longer available and instead would recommend this stainless tub 3 GAL Stanley with same size.https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Vacuum-Gallon-Horsepower-Stainless/dp/B00XNMMO2E/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=SL18136&qid=1610733526&sr=8-1Now reading earlier reviews, I see others have dealt with burned out motors and its not just me. Alton Ind. was great but not Stanley, and shame on Stanley for not taking on the responsibility for something that has their name on it.My experience with this vacuum"I bought this vacuum just under 5 months ago and while using it normally on a counter top last night, the motor all of sudden started to slow down, as I looked down it then started sparking, making weird noises and then stopped; it all happened before I could reach for the on/off switch. Scratching my head I opened up the vacuum, it wasn't full, only about 1/4 full, about 10 minutes later I started it up again on a different outlet to test and all it did was popping sounds and could see sparks and then stopped on it own. It has not been used much and not even six months.The motor is dead and now my new Stanley vacuum cleaner is worthless. My Shop-Vac from Lowes around the same size has lasted me 8 years and that one gets more abuse and still going strong.Old Review:I quickly needed a small wet vac and decided to give this one a try but was unsure how good the performance would be with such a low price. I was surprisingly satisfied with the suctioning and it matched my 3hp/6gallon ShopVac in suction power.One thing that I do not about this Stanley vacuum is the hose, it's too short and very stiff, I'm constantly struggling with it and gets in the way all the time because it will never stay where you want it to, it flops out and catches on things which is annoying. Also being so short, you have to pick it up and hold the vacuum a lot so you can reach things, too short to be on the floor and vacuum your whole desk. I would gladly replace the hose if I could.
