Shop-Vac Shop-Vac 1x1 505-50

Pros: Small, convenient and powerful.
Cons: Tends to be misused as a regular shop vac.

Let me first say that this vacuum is perfect...for the right person and job. This is a tiny shop vac that I purchased for small minor but rough clean up jobs like cleaning out my car and bench top debris on what was once a shop area. I had a five ...

Pros: Portability, 1 Hp, and Cost
Cons: Not at this price!

The Shop-Vac 1x1 505-50 is one of those tools that you cannot do without, once you have experienced the convenience and versatility it offers in everyday situations. The fact that the unit is so portable and light, not to mention easy to use and...

Pros: Easy to use and store. Compact and affordable.
Cons: Doesn't have wheels, not for those truly heavy duty shop jobs.

I recently bought the Shop-Vac 1x1 505-50 because I was tired of cleaning out the ashes in our fireplace with the standard broom and dustpan. I certainly didn't want to use my all purpose household vacuum for such a messy job and I didn't want to pay a...

Pros: lightweight, sturdy, quiet
Cons: cord may not be long enough

It’s so tiny!

Yes, I said this to my husband, but he wasn’t offended. This was my first reaction when he came home with his new ShopVac. When he told me he was going to buy a ShopVac, I thought he meant those huge models....

Pros: Portabler Than Most Vacs. Picks Up In Those Wet And Dry Situations.
Cons: Don't Tip Over. You'll Lose More Than Just The Beans.

SHOPing For A VACuum:               Wow! Three months without the Internet. Now I know how smokers feel when they go cold turkey. But anywho...During that period, I got a new ...

Pros: Powerful Vacuum, cleans fine particles, easy to clean, light weight.
Cons: Short cord.

We rescue cats. I am also allergic to dust. Having lots of cats, you can imagine the floors in our house accumulate a lot of cat hair, spilled litter, claw sheaths, and related debris. I was looking for a Vac that would speed up the frequent clean up ...

Pros: Compact, powerful, affordable
Cons: Short cord, messy dry filter changing.

Since I have a 5 year old who is a master of messes in the backseat and sand in the trunk from her beach toys (we live a mile from the beach), I REALLY...

Pros: Small and powerful
Cons: Easily falls over and has a short cord

I bought the ShopVac 1X1 for use in my garage where I do a lot of woodwork, carving, and all around messing around. I needed something small but powerful to cleanup after myself. I was pleasantly surprised when I turned in this little vacuum. It's very...

Pros: It vacuumed up dirt well for 10 seconds before self-destructing.
Cons: Cheap, cheesy design and construction that is beyond belief. Cord is too short

I just bought this Shop-Vac yesterday and was trying it out vacuuming up dirt around my wood stove. The cord is much too short to reach just about any outlet, so I had to go to the garage for an extension cord. Just as I started vacuuming I pulled a ...

Pros: It has good suction.
Cons: Cord is to short.

I was really impressed with the size and weight of this Shop-Vac. We used to have a bigger one that was big and heavy. It made it difficult to use in vehicles. The bigger one just didn't get to the hard to reach spots because it just didn't fit. This...

Pros: Light, POWERFUL, Convenient & Handy. It will be your best friend.
Cons: Cord isn't very long, I keep an extension cord plugged into it at all times.

I absolutely love this vac. I bought it on E-Bay for $13.00 and I have already used it a hundred times. I am currently looking for a store locally to purchase more of these. The power is unbelievable for the size. I am going to be working as a cleaner in an apartment complex this summer and am going to be taking this vac with me. It is so easy to pull this out and use it for small jobs but it is also so powerful that I pull it out for bigger jobs as well.
Overall, I give it 5 thumbs up. I couldn't live without now. Highly recommend.
