Works well, but few filters available for this size [Posted on 2007-12-06]
This Shop Vac worked well - even handled the major clean-up of the garage after the roofers left. It's nice and small and fits into small spaces easily (like, attics!), and stores easily. The lack of tool storage was a bummer, but not huge.
My one problem was the inability to find decent filters for it. It had come with a cartridge filter, which I loved, but then couldn't replace, even at the Shop Vac site. It may be they've started making them available, but if you have allergies, as I do, a real filter (the cloth/paper ones with the ring don't cut it) is a total necessity. It seems you have to go to the 5+ gal size to get them available easily.
The Name Says It All [Posted on 2008-01-23]
I operate a small park maintenance office, and I was looking for a small no-nonsense shop vacuum. I looked at the local chain store home improvement warehouses, and they carry a very limited and low quality selection. So I ended up buying the original shop vac on Amazon for less!Even with free super saver shipping, the product arrived in less than 48 hours! This is another example of why Amazon is getting my business while the lame brick and mortar merchants keep trying to sell the same old junk. Thank you Amazon, for offering old fashioned quality and value delivered right to my door.
Just What I Wanted [Posted on 2008-03-01]
I live and craft in the country and need a heavy-duty vacuum but have arthritis and CMP so have pain issues with the heavy or unwieldy. This little gem is easy to use, powerful enough to pick up everything from pea gravel to fine sawdust, and light enough to lift on my worst pain days. Comes with every attachment and filter one could wish for, except a beater head for carpets, and doesn't like to be run for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time. So, if you plan on vacuuming your entire house after you do your workspace, you may have to take a couple of short breaks. How awful! (not!) Am really pleased with this, much more so than with my previous vac, a major name brand upright that cost 3 or 4 times as much.
Good Little Vac for Houshold Use [Posted on 2008-05-05]
This vacuum delivers the suction of a larger shop vac in a compact size. It's light and easy to carry. My house is all ceramic tile and I have a dog that sheds like crazy. I have to vacuum everyday just to keep up. This vac is quieter that it's larger cousins. The hose diameter is smaller than the 6gal that I am replacing so it probably wouldn't be good for garage cleanup unless it's only dirt and sawdust.
The attachments are NOT on board and that would be nice so they aren't floating around in my closet. The canister is nice and small for easy storage. I actually purchased this at Walmart for $55.97 which is much cheaper than the amazon listed price.
Annoying narrow tubes keep getting clogged [Posted on 2008-09-25]
Suction on this is ok...but the problem is that the tubes are too narrow on this shopvac. I have to constantly stop the vac to figure out which section of the tube has material stuck in it to clear out. Very frustrating since I only use it to clear things in the gararge and patio. Plus, the connector for tubing into the vac bag has a bend in it that also further adds to the clog problem. An additional frustration is that the filter is a bit hard to find for this specific unit. So now, I must find another shopvac with wider diameter tubing so that it can better serve its purpose as intended...as a shopvac.
