Vacuum sucks . . . like it is supposed too. Good purchase and a good “bang for the buck.”
Bert Sawayn (verified owner) –
great power and attachments for the price, quieter than other brands ive used. built in drain is a great feature too
Kacie Casper (verified owner) –
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.

This is the best vacuum on the market today!! I have purchased numerous vacuums over the years, and this is the best by far!! It actually gets up every type of mess you could imagine. Really love it and will continue to use it. Who knew the best vacuum costs under $100.00!!!!!

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.

Bought this yesterday to vacuum water in carpeting from a leak. Got it home only to discover you can’t vacuum up water without buying a $20 wet filter which is not included in box. Also bags to catch dry particles such as sawdust not included. Now need to make another run to the store.
