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

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

This unit seemed to have a better structure and rating compared to the lower priced models. It is sturdier but I have no idea how they came up with a peak 5.0 hp. It must be rated in Canadian metrics. Not as good as the similar Ridgid vac I bot years ago.. it must have more Chinese DNA than its predecessors.

Great product ! Takes care of our light duty needs. Vacuums dirt and sludge from our small water feature. Vacuum suction is great ! Blower is somewhat lower … but adequate for most needs. For the price, I highly recommend !!
