The Stanley SL18129 Wet/Dry Vacuum is a compact yet powerful cleaning tool designed for both household and workshop use. With its 4-gallon stainless steel tank and 4 peak HP motor, it effortlessly handles debris, dirt, and even water. The lightweight design (8 lbs) and four wheels make it highly portable, while the top handle ensures easy carrying.

Users praise its strong suction power, especially for tasks like cleaning pet hair, tile floors, and car interiors. The included accessories—such as the 5' hose, extension wands, floor nozzle, and crevice nozzle—enhance its versatility. However, some users note that the cord is shorter than expected, which can limit mobility without an extension cord.

One standout feature is its ability to handle both wet and dry messes. For wet cleaning, the blue foam filter prevents mist from escaping. The vacuum also comes with a reusable dry filter and a disposable dust bag for messier jobs. While the vacuum is generally durable, some users reported issues with the hose cracking or the unit tipping over if pulled too hard.

Despite minor drawbacks like noise levels and occasional tipping concerns, the Stanley SL18129 offers excellent value for its price. It’s a reliable choice for small to medium cleaning tasks in homes, garages, or workshops.
