Quote from stevieboy628p : I saw some other postings for a 6 gallon but nothing with this price and gallon size so here goes: Lowes has there 12 gallon shop vac, (thats pretty darn big) with 5.5 amps of sucking or blowing power, on sale for only $29.97. These also work on wet or dry surfaces. Now count on a 10% off coupon that we can find all over the place now days, and voila, $26.97. Original price was $79. If you have one of the $10 off $50 coupons, get 2 and save over $100! Buy the way we have a bunch of these at work and they can take a beating. 12 Gallon Shop Vac [lowes.com]

I was thinking about getting one of these, how would they work used to vacuum out vehicles? I have a regular vacuum with attachments, but would rather not drag a $250 vacuum outside. Would it work for small leaves and such as well?

For your car and leaves that would definitely not be a problem for this vac. We use them at work to pick up resin pellets, metal shavings, nuts and bolts and even have vacuumed up oil with them. If a shop vac can handle vacuuming up 10 gallons of oil, I cant help but recommend it. I love it and WILL be buying myself one today, along with the 4ft Ladder [lowes.com] for only $19. These will go great in my new storage building.

$28 for shipping cost

How much are the filters?

Don't get why the 6 gal is always the same sale price or even more expensive. I'd rather get the smaller one but seems wrong @ the same price.

Let's see, about $0.50 gas to go to the store and pick it up, or $28 for them to bring it to me...........Go to the store!!!

Quote from Road Rage : How much are the filters?

Not really sure b/c we always either wash out the filters are just blow them out with an air nozzle. They arent like hepa filters. These things can take some abuse.

These are made in USA, I think

Not to threadcrap but I don't recommend these for cleaning cars, they get the inside clean but seem to throw alot of dust onto the outside, same story with drywall dust inside the house.
I've been through 2 of them and ended up alot happier with the rigid brand shop vac(home depot carries them).

someone else posted a deal on the rigid

This is a crazy good price though

Not as good as last year's Sears.

Not sure why but it will not let me select in store pick up. It will only let me ship it.

Shop Vac 12-Gallon Wet / Dry Vac [lowes.com], model no. 9304211, for $69.97. Enter your ZIP code. If your location is eligible, it will drop to $29.97. Shipping adds around $14, or choose in-store pickup.

Will let you know I got one of these lasttime. They don't do a REALLY great job. Doing your car ok but big things, no.

Any idea why it won't let me select in store? I checked several stores in my area and nothing.

Also the description is very vague. Any idea if this comes with multiple attachements and extensions? From the picture it seems to only come with a hose and one attachment.
