 Great power, but chintzy July 1, 2009
Bunson Honeydew (White Plains, NY)
I paid $19 for this at my local Target. It has amazing suction for a tiny machine, and the basic tools are more than enough for me. I bought it to vacuum out my car (excellent for this)and for the ocassional spills on my rugs.
The reasons why this is not 5 stars:
1) cheap plastic.
2) short cord.
3) A little tricky to empty when used for dry pick-ups.
While I like it and the price was right, Sears had a more powerful on sale a week or so later. It looked better made too.
If you can get this for $19, buy it. If you have to do heavy wet/dry vacuuming, buy a bigger and more powerful model.
 Tiny, but great suction! Easy to use! Perfect for quick jobs! June 20, 2009
Just A Mommy Too (Arizona, USA)
WET DRY VAC. Small, cheap, great suction - use with or without paper filters. OK, it's a cheapy, so don't expect miracles. Loud, but not obscenely so. Hard to clean out (without the paper filter bags) but can be done (vacuum out with another vac if needed.) Of course, without the bags the filter gets trashed real quick and has to be replaced. Bags are expensive, at about $3.50 each, with shipping, but CONVENIENCE is what a this product is about. On the plus side, is very light and easy to handle. PERFECT for what it's made for, quick light jobs, like a cardiac cleaning with company on the way, or pet hair, debris, etc, in corners, under cabinets, and along edges of flooring, or a spill. (YES, you'll want to glue the hose connection to the tank.) Only thing we'd like to see included is a long wand for reaching corners, cobwebs, etc, but we use one we have from another vacuum.

This Shop Vac is OK. The bigger, more expensive models are more powerful, but thats to be expected. Unfortunately, with Shop Vacs, you inevidibly, compromise power and performance when you go for the smaller models.
What I like about this vacuum:
1. Its lightweight-easy to carry around, especially when cleaning the car. I occasionally use it indoors as well.
2. I've used it a few times. If you clean the filter (or whatever it is that they tell you to empty and clean after each use) as recommended then the vacuum maintains its "full strength" power (as time goes by, it does lose strength when you're using it, but thats due to its small "holding" capacity-it can't stomach 16 lbs. of debris).
3. Price. Hey I paid ~$30, so I can't expect the performance of an industrial strength commercial cleaner or even my household canister that cost a few hundred bucks. But for the price, its a nice little tool for little jobs.
What I don't like about it:
1. It seems to blow a lot of dust around sometimes. But this may have more to do with how you hold it then the product itself. Because when I was cleaning my car, I'd notice sometimes an area that I had just cleaned would be dirty a few minutes later. And I think this was in part due to the how the vacuum was positioned because there is a part of it that vents out air which I think is responsible for blowing around debris and dirtying areas that had just been cleaned. So be mindful of how the vacuum is sitting or how you're holding it and you will be OK.
2. Not a lot of power. But like I said-for $30, I didn't buy this with unrealistic expectations. In fact, I was more impressed with what I got for the price, then anything.
3. Not place to store attachments-but hey, its a small vacuum made to be portable so I understand that there isn't room for that.
Great for the Price May 2, 2009

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.
 Boooooooooo! March 4, 2009

Space is an issue for me. So is cleanliness. Why does this vac stink? Because the motor is less than an inch from the walls of the dirt canister. If you've used a shop vac & know how dirt packs to the filter, you may as well empty it on your floor & vac it all back up again. Putting the entire vac in the trash receptacle, then removing the top is the cleanest you can get with this. The hose doesn't unscrew; it slides between the top & bottom.
The side tabs that lock are very tight; so tight that one snapped off, so I couldn't send it back. If you want a REALLY good small shop vac, go with the All Around. It may *seem* expensive, but when you get this vac, you'll kick yourself. A dustbuster would be better/easier.
Sorry ShopVac- you failed with this pain in the butt.
