Know before you buy
The Stealthsonic technology is designed to dampen noise without restricting airflow. You get the full benefit of the 5.5 HP motor’s suction power while operating at a significantly lower decibel level than a standard shop vacuum.
Yes, this is a true wet/dry vacuum. It is fully capable of picking up water, mud, and other liquid messes alongside standard dry workshop debris.
When transitioning from dry to wet pickup, you must remove the dry-use filter to prevent damage and clogging. Always ensure the tank is clean and the appropriate filter is installed for the specific task at hand.
The 12-gallon capacity is ideal for most residential and workshop projects, as it holds a substantial amount of debris before needing to be emptied. It strikes a good balance between high-volume storage and maintaining a manageable, portable footprint.
The vacuum comes with a standard set of essential attachments, typically including a hose, extension wands, and various nozzles suited for both floor cleaning and tight crevices. These accessories are designed to integrate directly with the unit for easy storage.
Absolutely. Because of its quieter operation, it is much less intrusive than traditional shop vacuums, making it a great choice for residential garages, basements, or hobby rooms where you want to minimize noise disruption.
