Biggest fail in engineering history
This little thing is the absolute worst case in engineering. The moment you turn it on the exhaust air comes out the same direction the vacuuming hose goes, so you actually blow the dust further away from where you want to clean it up. But that only happens if the little thing keeps standing upright which normally it does not, it topples over with the slightest move. If this happens you cannot just set it back upright, no, you have to turn it off, so the valve inside can go back to its right location, then you can set it up and turn it on again, only to start the whole show over and over again. I seriously have no clue, how somebody could invent something so bad. However, I have a very narrow crawl space that I desperately need for storage, and I needed something as small as possible to go in there with me, that would still give me enough space to move around. So, during my first super frustrating test run I had a galvanized bucket from the dollar store (those that are a bit on the heavier side of things) by sheer accident sitting right next to me, so I put the little thing in there. This solved all the problems: The bucket re-directs the exhaust air upwards, away from your working space and the weight of the bucket keeps the vacuum cleaner from falling over all the time. Ever since it's a great little device, I love my little vacuum and carry it around with me in the said bucket everywhere I clean. The suction is really good and it's easy to clean once it's full. I find it a lot of extra mile to go with, if you're willing to do that it's really great, if you don't - keep your fingers off, don't waste your money!

    Can't live without!
    This little Stanley is amazing The only issue is if it tips over it does stop working but it's so tiny it can easily be held with one hand while vacuuming up.

    Portable vacuum
    (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Very powerful small portable vacuum. It's better if you can plug-in this in your car but it's not. Only power outlet.

    A great little shop-vac
    After 20+ years with my last Stanley 1 gallon vacuum, the hose finally split and I was so happy to find it's replacement! Great little vacuum for the garage and cars, good suction and easy to mount and use. If I get twenty years out of this one I'll be both old and happy!

    Almost perfect
    Love it but...(like most reviews) - it needs a longer cord. My house is not large, yet I am always finding the ends of the cord. This is the main thing I would want altered. It drives me nuts. - it could really use an optional anti-tip piece for the base - having the venting pointed forward seems like a simple whoops when they designed it All-in-all, it is a fantastically useful tool and is quite the bargain. Be prepared for sore ears as this is a "shop vac" am not a weak duster. Find a decent extension cord and carry the base around to avoid tipping. The +'s are much greater thanks the -'s.

    Fine but not great
    Gets the job done if you're using it in a small space. The cord isn't long enough to work through an entire room but we used it in the bathrooms, car, etc. and it was just right. Only drawback is if the vacuum tips over, the motor gets jostled and doesn't work properly. Not sure if this is common among all of these vacuums but seems to happen to ours. I guess that's what you get when you only pay $20 for it. Another thing to note is the plug is three prong so be sure to have an extension cord that isn't only two prong.

    Hmmmm
    Other reviews mentioned the fact that the exhaust is located poorly and blows around what you are trying to pick up. This is true, and although the issue can be solved by simply holding the unit in one hand and facing the exhaust away from what you are vacuuming, it's a hassle and tends to give you less (of an already to short) hose to work with. The power cord is also too short. I'll keep this and use it for a while, (I already have it, sooooo) but someday I'll get tired of the disadvantages and get something else. It was the right size and it was only $20.00. That's why I bought it. Penny wise-pound foolish. All that said, the suction really is excellent, but I would not buy another due to the poor design. I sort of wish I hadn't bought this one.

    Amazing for the car
    I bought this for detailing my car and I absolutely love it. It is a powerful little machine with a decent hose length and the price is amazing for the quality.

    Great for the price. Gets the job done!
    I purchased this vacuum to do quick cleanups in my rat cage. I have 4 rats and they're messy. I vacuum the cage at least once a day and this vacuum makes it quick and easy. Yes, the cord is really short and so is the hose, so I have to hold it while I vacuum. It isn't that big of a problem though. Excellent suction, easy to empty, and serves the purpose. I love it. Makes pet cleanup really easy.
