Only one whitelisted tester (Reviewed/USA Today) hands-on lab-tested this exact Shop-Vac 5989300; it ranked among the weakest in a six-model roundup, praised for light weight and attractive stainless design but faulted for poor suction and rust-prone steel. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Light weight and easy to carry; Attractive stainless-steel industrial design.
Flagged: Poor suction; one of the weakest in the roundup; Stainless-steel tank may be susceptible to rust.
