After 8 years my 6 gallon, 2 HP shop vac died. I had been hoping it would because it was so noisy. I was happy to go shopping for a new one.
The new models are designed kind of fat with the wheels extending out with covers; I didn't care for that at all due to taking up room packing it in the van and manuvering around a room.
I came across a Heavy Duty Shop Vac Floor Master for household and workshop use. 4 gallon, 4.5 HP, 18 foot cord, 8 foot hose and the design is not as "fat" as the other models. With the 18 foot cord and 8 foot hose an extension cord is not a necessity. Included are several attachments; 3 different floor heads, accessory basket, tool holder, a handle on the top and brackets to wrap the cord up. I elected not to install the basket and tool holder becuase of the size issue. $59.97
Best of all it is quiet!
