          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Yes, the disposable dust bag is optional, but for dry pickup on the Stanley 6 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum – 4 Peak HP, it is important to always use both the foam filter and the reusable cloth filter bag at all times with or without the disposable dust bag. This helps ensure proper filtration and protects the motor during operation. Alton Industries

              How do you turn it from vacuum to blower?
              ByJun 13, 2025

              Answer This Question

              I think I can answer my own question by looking at the photos. The hole on to in the back of the power unit looks like where it will blow out. The hole to attach the hose to vacuum is below the power unit on the bucket part of the device.

                  Overall I feel this is a nice Wet/Dry Vacuum, even though it is constructed entirely of plastic, I would prefer that this vacuum had a 3 prong plug instead of a 2 prong plug.

                  I bought this one as a direct replacement for an older Stanley 6 gallon Wet/Dry vacuum which finally died after 20 years or so of usage. I like the convenient size, not too big, not too small for my purposes.

                  Just so-so on picking up dry leaves and dust, but excellent at slurping up the puddles created by my pressure washer!

                  This was simple to put together, seems to have a powerful motor, picks up very quickly. I gave it 4 stars since it’s a good value, but I have no long term experience, so we’ll see how it holds up.
