A great addition to shops large and small, the Porter-Cable 7812 wet/dry vacuum features 1-1/2 horsepower of suction and a 10-gallon capacity. But more than just offering standalone vacuum cleaning, the 7812 has an outlet that can be used to connect power tools and filter out all of the dust and particles during operation.
Designed for use as a general purpose shop vacuum, the 7812 can also be used to provide a dust-free environment when attached to a power tool. It features a built-in outlet for use with power tools, and the vacuum starts automatically when tool is turned on. When the power tool is turned off, the vacuum motor will continue to run for 6 to 10 seconds to finish collecting the dust, and then it will stop.
The 7812 delivers 99.85 percent filtration efficiency--great for fine particulate pick-up like drywall or solid-surface dust. The dual filtration system consists of a washable automotive-type paper filter and 2-ply, 10-gallon paper filter bag. Other features include a corrosion resistant polypropylene tank, large wheels for easy maneuvering, a parking brake to prevent vacuum from rolling, and a convenient flat top surface tray for holding tools while working.
Warranty

It's also covered by Porter-Cable's one-year free service contract, where Porter-Cable will maintain the tool and replace worn parts caused by normal use--for free.

Its a Winner
I purchased the Fein 9-55-13 Turbo II last year and it kind of found a new home with a family member. Thought I would give the new Porter Cable 7812 a try. I was not disappointed at all with the Fein but just like trying new items. The 7812 has been a pleasant surprise so far. Like the on board storage brackets for the accessories and the auto shut-off feature that it has for water pick-up. The Fein has a little nicer hose and longer power cord. Both units have the same hose size. You should purchase the accessory kit and save your self some trouble finding attachments to fit if you need them. Both units have the on board outlet for auto-start while using a power tool. Porter Cable could do a nicer job with advertising its features especially on the Internet. Even a call to Porter Cable was not what one would expect. The literature I received over the fax was a brief one pager. The manual also could be a little better. Although its nice that they included an actual parts...

good quiet vacuum
I was looking for a new shop vac to replace my 15 y/o
Sears Shopvac and save my hearing. Having purchased and used several different house vacuums over the years, severe dust allergies required me to purchase a Nilfisk HEPA vacuum for house. After using this I realized how much fine dust < 1 micron leaves the exhaust in my Shopvac. My choices for vacuum were narrowed down to Fein and P-Cable. It is easy to find Fein Vacuums in local woodstores. Finding information on Porter Cable is very hard. I ended up purchasing PC based on reviews here. I liked features of Porter cable more as it was designed for drywall vacuuming. Fein required extra filters and brackets for fine dust. I still cannot find data on how fine filtration is on Porter's unit. It appears excellent as it comes.
I agree with other reviewer that accessory tools are essential
It can clean any car, boat, shop or garage mess. Unit is very quiet. I wish it had a place to wrap electrical cord when...
If you are undecided
I purchased this vacuum after reading the reviews here on Amazon and I agree with most of the things said in those reviews. I have used this tool a lot in the last 6 months and there are a few things I feel will help others decide if this is the tool for them. It is my opinion that although this is a nice tool that performs very well it is primarily suited to be used in conjunction with a power tool as a dust collector or other applications that do not involve large volume intake. Big debris will not go through the small hose and sucking lots of debris will fill the bags up fast and the bags are expensive. You can use it without bags but this will cause the relatively small fine particle filter to load up with dirt rapidly which will at best make it necessary maintain it on a regular interval and will perhaps shorten its life. I use a large shopvac style vacuum with a .4 micron filter element for heavy clean-up on the job. Most shopvac style machines allow you to hook the hose to the...
