Overview
Corded and drawing 3.7 amps (1200 watts) off a 120V line, the Stanley SL18116P weighs about 13.4 pounds. Those specs point toward Stanley's poly wet or dry vacuum lineup rather than a drilling or cutting tool, built for garage and workshop cleanup.
Stanley's SL18000 series model family covers a range of shop vacuum sizes, and the motor draw here, a 1200 watt corded unit, sits at the smaller end, suited to a compact tank rather than a large multi gallon model. The generic Specialties category placement reflects that this isn't a drill, saw or sander.
- 120V corded electric power source
- 3.7 amp draw
- 1200 watt motor power
- 13.4 pound item weight
Who it's for
Fits garage, workshop and jobsite users who need a corded vacuum for sawdust, spills and general debris. Not intended for anyone shopping for a power drill, sander or saw despite sitting in a general tools catalog.
Pros and cons
- Corded design gives continuous power without battery runtime limits
- 1200 watt motor for workshop level suction
- Portable at 13.4 pounds
- Requires a nearby outlet and cord management
- No cordless or battery option in this spec sheet
Performance notes
A 1200 watt motor pulling 3.7 amps on a standard 120V circuit gives consistent suction without needing battery charging, at the cost of being tethered to an outlet. The 13.4 pound weight keeps it portable enough to carry between a bench and a vehicle trunk, though it is heavier than cordless handheld options.
