About This Product

The Stinger 2.5 Gal. 1.75 Peak Horsepower Wet Dry Shop Vacuum is a compact and portable vac for wet and dry applications. Expect the suction to be just what you need for your home, garage and renovation cleanups. The easy-to-carry design with large handle is portable and can conveniently be stowed into smaller storage spaces. The vacuum also doubles as a blower to clear dirt, debris and leaves away from certain areas. Included shop vacuum attachments allow you to take on a wide variety of surfaces and applications that would be harder to clean with the hose alone. For specialized cleaning, use the utility nozzle attachment for larger pickups and the car nozzle for detailed cleaning of upholstery and carpet - all can be stored onboard the wet dry vacuum. The 4 ft. hose quickly stores on vac and the filter bag traps dust and debris. To install the filter bag, place filter on top of filter cage and slide the elastic retaining band over it to securely fasten it. Change the wet dry vacuum filter often for optimal vacuum performance. Uses replacement vacuum filter bag VF2000 (sold separately).

The ends of the hose are slightly different. One end has a 2 short slots parallel to the hose. So is one end intended to go into the vacuum port and the other end is for attachments?

              HOW DO YOU USE THE VAC TO SUCK UP WATER
              ByJul 31, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hello RENE, Thanks for reaching out. When using the vacuum for liquid pick ups, the filter can be removed if sucking up clean water. If its water with debris, its best to keep the filter bag in place. If you have questions, you may call us at 1-866-994-8759 from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info.info@emerson.com and we'd be glad to assist you.

                      Straight out of the box it’s used! I hate HD with a passion. Suppliers take note of how your product is being sold.

                        I noticed the tape in the store and thought that was due to shipping. When I got home and opened the box, I realized they charged me full price for a USED wet dry vac. DEF contacting customer service because that's unacceptable. If you're going to sell used items, we least offer it at a cheaper price

                          Pleasantly Surprised, Insane Value
                          I’ll be honest with you, I was quite skeptical about a shop vac the only cost $35, boxed with mainly only Spanish instructions. After unboxing and plugging in, this thing does work..literally. Works better than my other shop vac by ShopVac!

                            Nice little vacuum
                            This Stinger Shop Vac is quite the handy little tool to keep around the craft room. My wife needed a small vacuum that she could keep around the craft room to quickly clean up messes and debris, and we had debris laying around that was just a bit too much for a normal vacuum to handle (wood shavings, craft paper, etc.). This vacuum is super compact and easy to carry around, and it handles all of that debris and more. The hose is only 1-1/4" so large debris still needs to be picked up by hand and thrown away, but it handles the rest without issue. It came complete with hose, two attachments, and filter bag. The whole shop-vac came already assembled so there wasn't much to do once the box was opened. The only concern I have is that the filter bag is held into place with a large rubber o-ring/gasket. I haven't really put any strain on the vacuum yet, but I'm hoping I don't run into issues where the bag is falling off during use. All of the accessories tuck away very nicely, and there are grooves on the side of the vacuum that the hose clamps into for storage. This is a very nice little shop-vac.

                            I actually own 2. I have owned my first one since 2011, and it still works just fine. The newer one stays inside the house and the the other one is for use in the Garage and outdoors( vehicles etc.) . I also bought a friend one for Christmas. Light weight,easy to use, easy to clean.Vacuum or blow feature makes it multi-functional.

                            Great vacuum. I've been purchasing these for years. I use them daily in my job. The only reason I've replaced is because I usually break the cords or hoses from all of the use and abuse.

                            Nice little vacuum with strong suction. It is a little deceiving as it is super lightweight but it performs pretty well in my initial use. It works well to vacuum out a vehicle as it is very portable. The hose just plugs into the vac and not sure how long that will last as it doesn’t seem to be keyed, so just slips in. It can also be plugged in the opposite side to become a blower and wraps into the bottom for storage. Using the blower might be handy as an inflator although there’s no small nozzles to use to inflate a raft or mattress so would have to improvise. It comes with a long 10’ cord that wrap around the top for storage. It has a filter inside and comes with 2 nozzles that are narrow and another a little wider.

                            Surprised by this lil' guy. Good amount of suction, easy to carry around, and has worked perfect for a variety of cleaning tasks. There are a few quirks - the hose is a little light duty and can kink if you pull to hard from the side. Also it's a little top heavy and once off kilter the anti-liquid float shuts down the suction. You need to fully power down and wait until it drops before you can go again. Otherwise it's a solid little vac.
