Any one have this shop vac?

I'm looking to buy either this unit or the Metro hang up that CMA has. I can get this one for $260.00.

I can't speak for the quality of that vacuum, but my Metro vac really sucks! But then for a vacuum that's a good thing.

I have something VERY similar. It's the Shop Vac Hang up Pro. It's 4.5 HP and draws 8 amps. Comes with a long hose and a bunch of tools. I got mine at Sears for $80. Works great, plenty of suction and portable as well.

Here is a pic.

I had a chance to use the Shop Vac Hang up Pro at the Autoint/Valugard shop this week. Does a fine job, especially for the price.

For me, the 16/20' hose is very important.

I'm considering the Fein, also, since I may need a little more mobility.

ShowroomLincoln , that the unit I currently have. It works well , but when I looked into the specs I was suprised to see the SP rating of only 57". Don't get me wrong I love the vac but I want more power.

ejant do have a website for that company , I'd like to look at all possibilites. I like the wall mounted feature makes the shop look nicer and one less thing to put away.

Thanks
