Our take on the Shop-Vac 5 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac

The Shop-Vac 5872911 is a corded 5-gallon wet/dry vacuum with a 6 peak HP motor, an 11.8 A draw and a cartridge filter. It is built for garage, car and carpet cleanup, with a 20 ft cord and a 7 ft hose so you can reach across a bay without moving the unit. It weighs about 15.6 lb, light enough to carry by the handle but heavy once the tank fills. The best new price is $121.02 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, the only new price listed.

Pros
  • 5-gallon tank handles debris and small spills in one unit
  • 6 peak HP and 11.8 A give strong suction for the size
  • 20 ft cord plus 7 ft hose reach far without an extension cord
  • Cartridge filter suits dry pickup and can be swapped for wet work
  • About 15.6 lb, manageable to lift and store
Cons
  • Corded only, so you need an outlet nearby
  • Peak HP is a marketing figure, not sustained output
  • Noise is high on a motor this size
  • Wet pickup requires removing the cartridge filter first
  • Single new price listed, so little room to compare

Questions and answers

Is $121.02 a good price for this Shop-Vac?
It is the only new price listed, $121.02 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026. Without other new listings there is no recent range to compare against, so check whether a larger tank model costs close to the same.
Can it pick up water?
Yes, it is a wet/dry vac. Remove the cartridge filter before wet pickup and reinstall it for dry debris.
How far can it reach from an outlet?
The cord is 20 ft and the hose is 7 ft, so roughly 27 ft of combined reach before you need an extension cord.
Is 6 peak HP the same as running power?
No. Peak HP is a maximum figure; the real draw is 11.8 A on a standard 120 V outlet.
What is included in the box?
Expect the vac, a 7 ft hose and a cartridge filter. Check the listing for wand and nozzle attachments before buying.
Is it good for car interiors?
Yes. The long hose and 5-gallon tank suit floor mats and seats, though the unit is loud in a closed garage.
Where is the Shop-Vac 5 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac cheapest?
At Walmart, for $121.02, as of our latest check.
