Overview
A corded canister vacuum from Shop-Vac's Specialty line, sized for garage and workshop cleanup with a 120 volt, 9.9 amp motor packed into a 14 by 14 by 21 inch body weighing 14.5 pounds.
Shop-Vac built its name on wet/dry canister vacuums, and this Specialty model keeps the same corded, single-motor layout in a compact footprint rather than a full size shop unit. No seller copy or reviews are attached to this listing, so buyers are working from the spec sheet alone.
- 120 volt corded electric motor
- 9.9 amp draw, 160 watt rated motor power
- 14.5 pound compact body
- 14 x 14 x 21 inch footprint
Who it's for
Fits a garage owner or hobbyist who wants a dedicated corded vacuum for regular workshop cleanup rather than a large drum unit that has to be wheeled out. Less suited to anyone needing documented tank capacity or attachments before buying, since neither is listed here.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Corded power avoids battery charging and runtime limits
- Compact 14.5 pound body is easy to carry
- 9.9 amp motor on a standard 120 volt circuit
- No tank capacity or filter type listed
- No attachments or accessories confirmed
- No owner reviews attached to this listing
Performance notes
The 120 volt, 9.9 amp motor runs continuously on a standard outlet, avoiding battery runtime limits. At 14.5 pounds and a 14 by 14 by 21 inch footprint, it sits closer to a compact canister than a full size drum shop vac, which should make it easier to carry between a bench and a car trunk.
