I got this product for cleanup during renovations. Being a novice handygal, I was pleased with the ease of assembly and the overall performance of this vacuum. I purchased the hepa kit as well so that I can clean lead paint and asbestos while being osha compliant. Excellent product.

Replaced my old 16 gallon shop vac. This shop vac has plenty of power to pick up nails and make all the sawdust and other debris disappear. Great in the car also. Have had mine for five years and still goin strong. Just bought one for a Christmas present for family because I knew it would be well received, and it was.
