Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the SL18129 for its lightweight stainless‑steel construction, powerful 4 HP motor, and comprehensive accessory set, noting it offers solid performance at a reasonable price, though they acknowledge it is out‑matched by larger, higher‑capacity shop vacs in raw power.
What Users Say
Everyday users praise its portability, strong suction for quick clean‑ups, long cord, and versatile attachments, but repeatedly criticize the excessive noise, short hose length, small tank capacity, and the need for frequent filter cleaning.
Common Complaints
Excessive noise (80‑97 dB), short 5‑foot hose limiting reach, small 4‑gallon tank filling quickly, filters clogging rapidly, and limited ability to handle large debris.
What People Are Saying
“Extremely loud (80‑97 dB), requiring ear protection for prolonged use.”
