Ultra Pro - 14 Gallon Ultra Pro Wet/Dry Utility Vac w/ Built-in Pump - 960-14-00  Product Reviews

"The best house hold vaccum I have ever bought and used. Still have not used it in wet buit I am sure that I will work."

"Ordered this heavy-duty unit after torrential rains overwhelmed my consumer-grade unit. Confronted with world's worst instructions -- apparent attempt to cram multi-lingual instructions onto a single sheet of paper. After finally getting the beast assembled, pushed the switch to test it out and ... nothing. Switch seems to be faulty, but Shop-Vac customer service says to return the entire unit to seller. Will update this review if I ever get satisfaction. Wish I could change my rating to 3 stars. Shop-Vac came through with a new power unit to replace the one with a faulty switch. The instructions still suck."

"I highly recomend this for water pickup. I bought this after getting water in the basement after an early snow thaw this January. I tried at first to use a 5 gallon wet/dry vac but I found it not to be practical as I needed to keep emptying it out and after 20 times I was ready to give up. I bought this 14 gallon with the water pump built in and was able to pump it to a drain with a garden hose attached. This was so much easier and I was able to save my back and hours of time. I have not tested it as a dry vac so I can only give my opinion on water pickup.Also it is very quiet compared to the 5 gallon vac that I have."

"I bought this unit after carefully reviewing the market. It does have plenty of power and it is quiet for it's size. I would however recommend buying the optional 1-1/4" hose kit in order to take full advantage of this vacuums horsepower. After assembling the vacuum, I was disappointed by how extremely large it really is. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy this vacuum with the intention of using it inside a finished home. It's just too big for that. You cannot easily carry it up and down stairs and it just barely rolls through a standard doorway. The tools do not fit in the storage bin and the cord will not wrap around the hooks they provide....very poor design. I am exchanging this vacuum for the 8-gallon size shop vac. "
