Shop-Vac Hang Up 952-02-62

*Est. $100

In general, reviews say that accessories and bags for Shop-Vac wet-dry vacuums are relatively inexpensive and easy to find. Owners say the Shop-Vac Hang Up 952-02-62 is especially convenient because of its wall-mounted design and 18-foot hose (though the Ridgid WD5500 has an even longer hose).

Suction gets mixed reviews. Some owners report reliability problems with the motor, and they also complain that the hose clogs easily because of its small diameter. When used as a portable shop vac off the wall, owners say it's prone to tipping. This model is also noisy.

The five-gallon Shop-Vac Hang Up 952-02-62 receives mostly positive reviews from owners, but reviews note some problems. Another wall-hung shop vac, the Ridgid WD5500 Stor n Go (*est. $100), earns higher ratings and tests show it performs well. It's priced and sized the same as the Shop-Vac Hang Up, is quieter, has a longer hose, and carries a lifetime warranty. The warranty on the Shop-Vac 952-02-62 is for only a year.

Consumer Reports doesn't review the Shop-Vac Hang Up 952-02-62 in its most recent comparison tests. We didn't find any head-to-head comparisons of this wall-hung Shop-Vac with Craftsman or Ridgid wall-mounted models. However, wall-mounted shop vacs have generated a lot of interest, and we found quite a few owner-written reviews of the Shop-Vac Hang Up at MyTriggers.com, Amazon.com, and two other retail sites.
