Full details
The Stanley SL18116P Wet/Dry Vacuum is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, high-suction solution for cleaning up garage messes, workshop debris, or accidental household spills. Its standout feature is the powerful 4.0-peak HP motor combined with a convenient rear-blower function, providing professional-grade performance in a compact 6-gallon frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Maintenance Tips:
- Filter Care: Always shake off excess dust from the cartridge filter after dry use. If the filter becomes saturated with fine dust, tap it against a hard surface or use low-pressure compressed air to clean it.
- Wet Use: When transitioning from dry to wet pickup, ensure the dust bag is removed to prevent damage to the unit.
- Storage: Use the provided 10-foot cord wrap to prevent the power cable from fraying or tripping hazards when the unit is not in use.
