Great little vac
This is a great little vac. super handy. Big time ease of use. It has great power for something so small. Now sure you are not going to be using this on a flooded basement, but for 95% of what needs to be done this is *way* easier then the big ol'beasts. I am a remodeler and I can just put this in a 5 gallon bucket with my tools.

cloth filter bag is a bit of a pain.
the clips on mine bent after some pretty severe use BUT they are sending me a new part at NO CHARGE.
NOTE on Price. I paid around 20-25 bucks for this.
BEWARE! Not a true wet/dry vac!
This handy little 1x1 is definitely small, lightweight, and powerful enough for the small jobs, but it's not a TRUE wet/dry vac. In order to switch from sucking up liquids to vacuuming up dry things, you have to take the vacuum apart, empty out the contents, and either remove or replace the dry filter. It's not a simple task as the dry "filter" is a big round piece of cloth that surrounds a foam filter. You have to center the cloth on the foam filter, push a plastic ring down over it to hold it in place, etc. It's a real pain. The vacuum is fine if you use it primarily for either wet or dry stuff, but you can't switch from wet to dry or dry to wet without some disassembly and about 5 minutes of your time. Very bad design. Note, this is the only Shop-Vac that requires you to go through these steps, hence the cheap price... and they certainly don't advertise this fact on the box or on their website because they know they won't sell. It's borderline false advertising, in my...
