Great little shop vacuum for the price. Small and lightweight. Easy to carry round from site to site. Good suction and attachment storage. Cons: Weird 1-7/8″ hose size. Has difficulty picking up larger debris. Noisy. Overall though, tuff little vacuum. Thank you.

I actually wanted to purchase the 10 gal. stainless steel canister Rigid vacuum, but it seems to have disappeared from store shelves. So instead I bought this little guy as a temporary fix, and I’m delighted with its small size. I may not need to get the bigger one. This one is much easier to lug around, I can easily drag it from garage to basement to back porch. Good value.

I bought this vac due to a break in my washing machine drain which flooded my basement. (Thankfully, the water was clean and not sewage.) I was surprised at the suction power of such a tiny vacuum cleaner. I was also impressed with the easy mobility once I snapped on the wheels. This is a very good vacuum at a very competitive price that offers great value for the money.

It seems to work fairly well. It came missing several screws to attach the handle. The attachments were all there. It arrived on time and pick up was easy.
