HART 6 Gallon 5 Peak HP Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Vacuum with Bonus Car Cleaning Kit

Amazing 🤩. I needed to replace my Craftsman Shop Vac after 4 years of use. I loved everything about its power and wanted something similar. I chose the Hart brand 6 gallon as I wanted something a little smaller and manageable than the Craftsman I had but also provide the same power. I cannot be happier! This little thing has so much power and suction, I believe it outperforms my previous shop vac. It is much more manageable and lightweight and can be maneuvered around obstacles easily. You can feel the suction once you turn it on, and it's exactly what you need to clean up efficiently. I definitely would recommend for someone who wants a powerful vacuum for everyday use or whenever you need it for small jobs.

Let me just say—this vacuum absolutely delivers. The HART 6 Gallon Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Vac is one of those rare tools that actually makes your job easier, not harder. I’ve used a lot of gear in my line of work, and this one instantly became part of my regular aquatic services setup. I run aquarium service routes, and if you've ever had to empty a tank, you know getting that last inch or two of water out is always the annoying part. Not anymore. This vac makes that part ridiculously easy. No tipping tanks, no awkward siphons—it just sucks up every last drop, even in tight corners or around gravel and substrate. Speaking of which, this thing happily pulls up substrate like a champ. No clogs, no stalling. It’s strong enough to handle the job but still lightweight enough to carry from tank to tank without breaking your back. The 5 peak horsepower makes a big difference. It’s got serious pull without sounding like a jet engine. The suction power stays consistent, and the tank holds just enough for small-to-medium jobs without constant emptying. I’ve used it for aquarium clean-outs, water spills, even the occasional shop mess—and it hasn’t let me down once. I also want to call out the quality of the build. The stainless steel drum is not only durable, but easy to clean. It doesn’t absorb odors like plastic units do, which is huge when you're dealing with aquarium water and organic debris. The hose and attachments feel solid and fit snugly, and the wheels roll smooth, even when the tank’s full. Now, the only reason I’m even mentioning a downside is because this unit is so good that I know a small upgrade would make it practically perfect: when using it as a wet vac, there’s no exhaust moisture catch. That means a fine mist can be released through the exhaust port if you’re using it indoors or near electronics. An optional moisture filter or exhaust attachment would be a game-changer here. It's not a deal-breaker, just something to be mindful of. Aside from that? This vac is worth every penny. The HART brand in general has really stepped up—this isn’t some budget-tier tool pretending to be pro. It feels like it was built for people who actually work. Highly recommend this to anyone in aquatic services, DIY work, garage cleanups, or just tired of weak vacs that burn out in a year. This one's a workhorse—and honestly? I’ll probably grab a second one soon just to keep on hand.
