Shop Vac 4.0 HP Models Review

Shop Vacs perform excellent wet/dry operations around the house, basements, backyards, and garages.

The Shop Vac 4.0 HP models review is a review of the top three rated vacuums with this peak horsepower. Generally, as the HP power goes lower, the price of the unit is also less on average to the consumer. Another side effect of this is that the vacuum cannot stand up for heavy use over long periods of time. The reason being, is the motor will burn out do to the stress placed upon it. If you should have lots of water or debris to pick-up you may want to consider getting a vacuum with greater horsepower so you will not burn out the motor and have to purchase another unit.

Extra Accessories

These models can also be used for drywall sanding and leaf blowing. However, you must purchase the kits separately. The drywall sanding kit is used for sanding drywall whenever you are doing a remodeling job which saves time in cleaning afterwards because the Shop Vac takes in over 95% of the dust out of the air.

Shop Vacs also make great gifts especially if the recipient lives in an area where lots of rain falls and their basement tends to flood during these storms.
