Our take on the Shop-Vac 18 Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Contractor Series Wet/Dry Vacuum with SVX2 Motor Technology

The Shop-Vac Contractor Series is an 18-gallon wet/dry vacuum built around Shop-Vac's SVX2 motor technology and rated at 6.5 peak horsepower. The large tank and high airflow suit job sites, workshops, garages and basements where debris and liquid pickups are frequent. It is a corded, full-size canister vac, so it trades portability for capacity and suction against compact shop vacuums. Owners of large shop vacs in this class generally value the big tank and strong suction, while noting the weight and noise that come with them.

Questions and answers

What does 6.5 peak HP mean on this vacuum?
Peak horsepower is a marketing rating for the motor at its maximum, not a continuous output figure. It signals this is a high-power full-size shop vac rather than a compact one.
Can it pick up water and wet debris?
Yes. It is a wet/dry vacuum, so it handles liquid spills and wet messes as well as dry dirt and debris. You switch the setup for wet versus dry pickup.
How does it compare with smaller shop vacuums?
It offers much more tank capacity and stronger suction than compact models, at the cost of weight and footprint. Smaller vacs are easier to carry and store but need emptying more often.
Is it good for a home garage or a job site?
It suits both. The 18-gallon tank and high power are aimed at contractor-level cleanup, and the same capacity helps in garages, workshops and basements.
What is SVX2 motor technology?
SVX2 is Shop-Vac's name for the motor design used in this series. It is the platform behind the vacuum's suction and airflow ratings.
Does it come with hoses and attachments?
Check the specific listing for the included hose, wand and nozzle set, since bundles can differ. The vacuum itself is a corded canister unit.
Where is the Shop-Vac 18 Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Contractor Series Wet/Dry Vacuum with SVX2 Motor Technology cheapest?
At Shop-Vac Store, for $301.19, as of our latest check.
