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.

Handy Dandy Vacuum, October 23, 2009

This "Shop Vac" is pretty handy, I mounted mine on my wall where I park at, so when I go to clean up my cars the Vacuum is right there. If it wont reach the other car, just with one finger press the release… latch and carry it over. Really well thought out, handy, and easy to clean. My only gripe is it could be a little more powerful on the vacuum part. But Heck, I wish all the vacuums I had were more powerful also.

Convenient and Light, September 26, 2009

I use it mainly in the garage but it's easy to carry it around anywhere in the house. The long hose helps to reach many places without dragging it around. Suction is powerful enough for me. It's a bit noisy but that doesn't bother me. The hose is a little too soft, it's easy to squash it with your fingers. For average all around use it does a great job.

Christmas gift 1, September 14, 2009

Bought this as a Christmas gift along with bags and a filter. The product was a described and was shipped in a timely manner.

Excellent Vacuum, May 17, 2009

Just got this vacuum today and am already in love with it. We have a large 16 gallon vacuum for the shop that is very loud and cumbersome to move around. This little vacuum is very quiet by comparison and… I love the long hose that reaches easily to my work bench. Just exactly what I was looking for. Have it connected to my power saw with a plug that turns them both on at the same time and I am more than pleased.

A major disappointment, April 18, 2009

I'm a recent owner of the Shop Vac Hang Up Pro with the 4.5HP motor. There's virtually nothing on my garage floor (dry) that does NOT clog up this pathetic little (in diameter) hose. I'm incredibly… frustrated and disappointed with this purchase. Stay away from it. Naively, I thought that the motor was the most important component and didn't even think about hose diameter. Stupid me. Stupid Shop Vac. Idiots.

A handful of owners have posted ratings and reviews here of the Shop-Vac 952-02-62 HangUp wall-mounted wet-dry vacuum. Most reviews are quite positive, but one owner notes that the motor on an older unit burned up during the second year. This newer shop vac comes with only an 18-foot hose, while users prefer the 20-foot version. Shop-Vac's customer service also comes in for praise here.
