The PORTER-CABLE 12-gallon* 6 PHP** Wet/Dry Vacuum features a powerful heavy-duty motor that provides maximum suction power for large and bulky pickups. This corded wet/dry vacuum is strong and versatile enough to provide superior performance in any environment. *Tank capacity refers to actual tank volume and does not reflect capacity available during operation.**Peak Horsepower" (PHP) is a term used in the wet/dry vacuum industry for consumer comparison purposes. It does not denote the operational horsepower of a wet/dry vacuum but rather the horsepower output of a motor, including the motor's inertial contribution, achieved in laboratory testing. In actual use, motors do not operate at the peak horsepower shown.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q: Does it shut off when the tank is full of water and needs to be drained?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, Thank you for your question. The user manual states, "This wet/dry vac is equipped with a float mechanism which will rise automatically to cut off the airflow when the liquid in the tank reaches a predetermined level. When this happens, turn off vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the dust tank. You will know that the float has shut the airflow off because the suction ceases, and the motor noise becomes higher in pitch due to increased motor speed. The liquid capacity may vary with the rate of pickup." Hope this information helps!

Q: Is this good for to hook up up to a porter cable drywall sander?

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi, Per the owner's manual you can use it for this purpose, however, it also states, "Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without filter and dust bag in place. These are very fine particles that may affect the performance of the motor or be exhausted back into the air. Additional dust bags are available."

Q: Is there a Hepa filter? Or extra filter or bag of some sort? We had a rat infestation and with them came rat mite. Is this okay for trying to vacuum up all those super tiny almost invisible bugs? Because it feels like they are coming right back out.

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi, This unit does not use a Hepa filter. We would recommend an exterminator for the mites or reach out directly to Porter-Cable for what vacuum/filter combo would work best. You can reach them at ***PORTER-CABLE*** https://www.portercable.com/submit-request OR CALL 1 (888) 848-5175

Good Shop VAC

Seems to have good suction. Wish the diameter of the hose was a little smaller so it wasn’t so awkward to use! But most are like this.

Flimsy construction

7 years ago
I bought this vac to help suck a pull string through conduit. It has a good strong vacuum, but the construction of the housing is very flimsy. Turn on the vacuum, stick your hand over the inlet, and the housing will completely collapse in on itself. Leave it that way for a few minutes, and it will start tearing holes in the cover. If they had made the plastic even 1/16" thicker, it would probably be just fine.

Must be THE BEST

3 months ago
After being so disappointed so often for so long this vacuum has restored my faith in humanity. The team at Porter Cable knocked it out of the park. EVERY feature on this vacuum is brilliant, efficient and logical. My last wet-dry vacuum was great, but lacked the innovations of the Porter Cable. I give my congratulations and thanks to your engineers.

Yes, I recommend this product.
