 Good product May 02, 2010
This does what it says it will do, but is a little heavey to keep taking up from the basement to the garage.

Did the job beautifully Mar 31, 2010
After the mid-March (2010) deluge in New England, I ordered this unit from Amazon. The only reason I didn't give this five stars was because of the really really bad assembly instructions - in several languages, but probably equally bad in all. No easy parts identification plus the instructions were for several models which added to the confusion.
Nonetheless I did get it all together - although I wasn't sure until I tried it for real. At the end of March (2010) there was another multi-day rainstorm. The unit worked for nine hours straight (and is still working). This is perfect for basement seepage - incoming water too shallow to pump. For the most part, I was able to position the nozzle where the seepage was coming in - sit in a chair beside it and read my Kindle (!) while the unit sucked up the water and - most importantly - pumped it outside through its hose connection.
I just wish I had had it for the earlier storm.
 doesn't work Oct 09, 2009
I have had this vacuum cleaner for several years and decided to try the water pumping feature. Well, I hooked up a hose to the connection and nothing happens. It just fills up the tank and shuts off when full. So to final-empty the water bed I have to roll 7 tubs of water at 100# each over to the bathtub. Fun. By the way, the wheels are skinny, slick and useless so you basically have to pick up the thing to roll it - great for your back! Regardless the wheels will scratch and track all over your floor. The Shop Vac website contains no useful information other than a soundless demo of a guy pumping water from a pool, applying an attachment to the inside of the unit that it did not come with!
 Excellent value Feb 17, 2008
I bought this because of its ability to pump water as I have a water problem in my garage when there is a lot of ice and rain. Works very well. Long cord which helps. Large tank and reasonably quiet. Easy to assemble and store.

Pond sucker Nov 03, 2007
I bought it to suck debris from the bottom of our pond. It does OK, but will often stop b/c it cannot pump the water out as fast as it sucks it in. Perhaps the algae and junk in the tank make it harder to pump out the water. It can suck up a fair amount of algae, leaves, etc, but it is not an industrial size motor.
As a vacuum (dry) it does fine.
It's good.
