Husband wants to know how many hp is the motor?

- @PurplePawprints Irrelevant. All horsepower claims on vacuums are misleading at best. They number they slap on the box is peak horsepower, and by peak they mean the amount you get for a fraction of a second right after you turn it on. One horsepower is equal to 746 watts so the most you could get out of a standard 15 amp outlet is 2.4hp or 1800 watts. All those 6.5 horsepower shop vacs are lies.

- @PurplePawprints Target’s website says 1200 watts, so that’s in the neighborhood of 1.6hp if my guesswork is correct.

- @timmyboy1 lots of shop vacs use paper bag filters for dry work. It’s just like a regular vacuum bag except the dust winds up outside it instead of inside it.

- @RiotDemon (and @mehdaf) I’m guessing so… it would cause way too many issues if we could specify our own order numbers.
  
  (Though it might be a possibly useful extension to allow it for incorporating an order placed via the regular/old-style/non-VMP/whateverItIsCalled way.)

I’m glad this sold out because I was starting to want to buy it, even though I have a Shop Vac from 5+ years ago that still works.
Every year on Black Friday I’m tempted to buy the stainless steel model they have on sale at most big box hardware stores.
Why is the metal container so tempting?
