It was to big for what i want it but it did a great job. For big areas there is not a better friend but does not suit tje the small areas between the car seats

So far it’s as good as the more expensive Craftsman. Let’s see how long it lasts though because my Craftsman motor blew within like 2 months

A great powerful vac that never fails picks up all that you need to be picked up wet or dry without the bokeh space that it that others take up a great space saver with the power you need

Large suction hose doesn’t get clogged and it’s fairly quiet. Sometimes the tools fall off when you transport it so not giving 5 stars for that.

The big 2&1/2″ hose is awkward to handle and a longer cord would be helpful.
