Strengthened casters with accessory storage.2-1/2″ x 8′ hose with easy lock connection.Here are features and specs for the 12-gallon vac, for comparison purposes:
The ash vacuum, said to be ideal for use year round for fire places, bonfire pits, wood-burning stoves, and more, comes with a metal hose. Update: These vacs are NOT made in the USA.Īll of the wet/dry vacs come with a couple of the various attachments and accessories you would expect. The product pages says the vacs are made in the USA, for Porter Cable by Alton Industry Ltd. The switches look quite large and easily-pressed too. All have water-resistant on/off power switches. The 12 and 16 gallon vacs have built-in drain ports. The smallest vac has regular casters, the larger ones have “strengthened” casters with metal yokes. I noticed a few new Stanley vacuums, but nothing like this Porter Cable launch, which includes 6 different shop vacuum sizes and styles: 3, 6, 9, 12, 16 gallon vs, and an ash vac.Īdditional features, which seem to be common across all of the wet/dry vac sizes, include a blower function, and casters with accessory storage. This looks to be a new push into the shop vacuum market. I don’t think that Porter Cable intends for these to be Father’s Day or winter holiday specials, or anything of the sort. Although… in recent years brands have come out with better spec’d holiday specials. When shop vacuums, always look at the size and length of the hose, and the length of the power cord, as this helps indicate whether it’s meant for everyday use or low-cost bulk holiday sales. The 12 gallon vac also features a 14-foot power cord, which is a reasonable size. The 12 gallon Porter Cable vacuum comes standard with an 8-foot 2-1/2″ hose and 2-1/2″ wand accessories. Looking at the specs, the different sized vacs come with different sized hose sizes.
You can see the other vac sizes at the top of the page or using the product page links, below. It looks like you can wrap the hose around the top of the vac, between the canister locking handles and motor bulge.īy the way, shown above is the 12-gallon vacuum.
