When choosing a vacuum, horsepower is irrelevant. Some have a huge motor and terrible suction. The things to look at are Cubic Feet Per Minute, and Sealed Pressure. The first is how much air it moves, and the second is how strong the suction is (measured by how many inches of water it'll lift in a sealed glass tube). Dust collection needs the highest CFM possible in order to remove the fine dust that damages your lungs from the air. You need high sealed pressure in order to overcome the resistance from narrow hoses, long hoses, bends, and small dust ports on tools. An actual dust collector is much better than a shop vac for this purpose (and possibly less expensive if you put care into it) because even the smallest and cheapest moves 3 times more air, but only if you have 4" or bigger hoses to accommodate that airflow since they have very little sealed pressure. Even 4" hose is considered inadequate for many applications. It'll get the heavy dust, but restricts airflow too much to get all the very fine dust floating around.
Since I don't have room for hose that big and the dust ports on my machines are 1-1/4", I opted to build an air cart with a vacuum and a separate air filter to circulate the room air and remove fine dust that escaped.
This vacuum is rated for 175 CFM and 60 Inches of pressure. That is very high CFM and above average Sealed Pressure compared to other wet/dry vacuums. It also runs on only 9 amps which is helpful because I can run the vacuum and another machine on the same circuit without fear of tripping the breaker. It also has a port that is big enough to attach a standard 2-1/2" vacuum hose that I bought separately. The suction is nearly as strong through 20 feet of hose and a cyclone dust collector as it is right at the port. Just testing with my hand, I would say 85% to 90% of full power. I have not actually measured that though, so take it with a grain of salt.
The other vacuums I looked at range from 50 CFM and 45 Inches to 240 CFM and 75 Inches. Most were below 100 CFM and 55 Inches. Only a very few beat the specs of this one, and they were all too big and too expensive. If you want more performance and don't mind paying over $100. Model H87S650C has 200 CFM, the same 60 Inches of pressure, and is about the same size. It runs on 12 amps instead of 9. Model 87MT550A has 195 CFM, but only 59 Inches. Model SM16-SQ650 has 170 CFM, but ups the pressure to a much higher 75 Inches. Model 24LSR002 blows everything else out of the water with a whopping 240 CFM, and has very high Sealed Pressure at 70 Inches.
Please keep in mind that these are all claimed specs by the manufacturer. Actual performance is probably not that high.
I hope you'll forgive my laziness in only showing Shop-Vac models for comparison. I did research other brands, but the numbers are harder to find and I didn't want to go back and collect them all again for this review.
In case you're wondering, yes, I did also lay stuff down to protect the carpet.
The unit has both suction and blower capabilities which I consider to be a great feature on a smaller vac like this one. I don't own a stand alone blower so I can use the blower side for a quick cleanup to blow out the garage or around the doors of the house. The cord is plenty long enough and is decent quality for a plastic coated cord. The attachments are of OK quality and work decently enough. The hose is plastic but flexible enough although I wish it was longer. Somewhat noisy under use but most shop type vacs are so it's not a big deal. I can't comment on wet pick-up as I haven't needed to use it for that yet (fingers crossed), but dry pick-up is very good.
Overall a nice little vac with enough suction to tackle any job suited to it's size. Don't expect this to have massive suction like a big 10-20 gallon vac. It's not designed for that. However it's more than adequate for a 4 gallon. The item arrived on time, no damage, and worked first time out of the box. I can't complain about that.
