Shop-Vac SV2021012 Specialty Review

Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The Shop-Vac SV2021012 runs on 120-volt corded power drawing a 120-watt motor. Its body measures 12 inches long by 11 inches wide by 11 inches tall and weighs 3.08 kilograms, making it slightly larger and heavier than the SV2021011 but still easy to move and store. It carries no battery platform requirement and plugs directly into a standard outlet.

At $63.99 it is the priciest of the three 120-watt Shop-Vac specialty models in this category, sitting above the SV2021011 at $55.99. The 452 reviews at 4.4 stars and 200 units sold per month indicate a consistent, if moderate, level of buyer interest and satisfaction.

Buyers who choose the SV2021012 over the SV2021011 are typically drawn to the slightly roomier body, which may accommodate a larger filter or tank depending on the specific configuration. However, given the identical 120-watt motor, anyone prioritizing suction depth over physical size should look instead at the SV2021018.

Specifications

Performance notes

Corded electric at 120 volts with a 120-watt motor. Dimensions are 12 inches long by 11 inches wide by 11 inches tall, and the listed weight is 3.08 kilograms. Motor output is modest, appropriate for light household and shop cleanup rather than heavy-duty demolition or sustained large-volume pickup.

What buyers say

Owners praise the lightweight build and easy portability for moving between areas. The consistent critique is that suction is not strong enough for heavy cleanup, echoing feedback seen on other 120-watt models in the Shop-Vac specialty line.
