Best for the money/Size.
This little shop vac is a powerhouse! The compact size is perfect for cleaning out my car, and the attachments seem specifically designed for that purpose. The suction is surprisingly strong, and the filter is easy to clean. If you’re looking for a portable and powerful shop vac, I highly recommend this one.

Not expensive, works great
Works well. As advertised. Powerful suction, not so powerful blower. I found it most useful for vacuuming after my dogs have gone for a car ride. It sucks up hairs perfectly. It’s easy to dump and clean. Super-long electric cord helps a lot. Lightweight and easy to lift up onto a shelf for storage.

The Little Wet/Dry/Vac/Blower That Could!
This arrived packaged in ArmorAll packaging, and was packed well. But here is the most important part, which I bet you’re all looking for: this thing is POWERFUL for its size. I was very concerned about ordering a cleaning unit for my car, because all of the products I was looking at had reviews questioning the power. I went with this one, and WOW, I am blown away — no pun intended. Easily maneuverable, not too heavy, powerful blower and powerful suction, and VERY high quality. I was so happy to see the attachments are the perfect size for cleaning the cars in my family. Do yourself a favor, and just grab this unit instead of the battery operated handheld units. The power disparity between those units, and this ArmorAll unit, is very prominent. Very happy with my purchase. **Just an FYI: This does NOT come with dustbags, but CAN be used with dustbags if you purchase them separately. It DOES come with a wet filter and dry filter, however. One of each.** 🙂

I would recommend.
This is a pretty good little shop vac for the price. I would have given it 5 stars. My only real issue is once you dump it it becomes a little bit janky to get the vac back together. It takes a few minutes, but it’s not a big deal. It has pretty good power for my uses. I have a townhouse and do a little bit of wood work in the basement. I hook it directly to the tools like a belt sander and it definitely keeps the dust down, however the hose is pretty cheap and stiff. It rolls around great.

Essential item
I have a giant shop vac, but have used this more in a month then I’ve ever used the big one. Love it for cleaning my car!Effortless assembly, super lightweight, great suction, good attachments.If I had to offer a criticism, I would have liked a hard bristle brush for getting dirt and sand out of the car interior But the soft bristle works OK. I also really wish vacuums that came with multiple attachments had some kind of storage case to put them in But that’s a general criticism and not one specifically about this product. It does have a place to store the attachments on the vacuum, but it’s a little inconvenient to use the vacuum when they are all attached.. It’s well worth the money.

Exceptionally great budget vacuum. Performs like a champ!
This thing SUCKS! I wouldn’t doubt that it could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.OK enough jokes. This vacuum is pretty frigging good. It has quite a bit of suction power, even with the attachments. I use it to vacuum my cars and it does a GREAT job! For starters, the electrical cord is about 10 feet, which is nice. Though for most applications, you’ll likely still need an extension cord.The suction power is pretty impressive. And it’s not much louder than your normal vacuum. It’s not blaringly loud, but at the same time it’s not whisper quiet.The vacuum hose is adequately long at about 6 feet. Even better, the end of the hose rotates. This makes using it with attachments so much easier as you don’t kink the hose as easily.Speaking of attachments, it comes with everything most will need for simple cleaning. It should be said that there is no extension tube as many other vacuums have. That seems to be the only attachment missing.The vacuum does well with a mix of wet and dry vacuuming. I was able to vacuum up sand on a carpet, followed by standing water, then back to a sandy carpet. It also did a thick wet mixture quite well.The collection bucket holds quite a large amount while still being easy to handle. You can carry the unit around while vacuuming, but I’m sure most will set it down before vacuuming. If you’re the type to place the unit on the ground before vacuuming, know that it does NOT slide well on the ground. You can give it tugs to drag it along, but know that it’s going to give a bit of resistance throughout the process.In short, this was a great buy! I heard a few guys praising it prior to my purchase, so when I initially purchased this, I had high hopes and was ready to discredit most of its workings. I can honestly say that after using this to clean 5 vehicles, and a few household messes, this vacuum holds its own exceptionally well. This is definitely a winner and a great buy, especially for the budget minded who wants to get the best bang for their buck.If I have to mention something negative about the unit, it would be 2 things.1. I don’t like that there isn’t enough room to dump all the attachments inside the trash collector of the unit when not in use. Instead, I have to affix them to the top of the unit where they stand tall and proud.2. The “clamps” connecting the top of the unit and bottom trash collector can sometimes be a bit annoying to align and affix together. Not a big deal, and it’s pretty obvious when it’s not connected correctly, but every time I opened the unit, I felt myself really taking my time to ensure the two parts were correctly connected.Again small gripes with the unit. This just shows how well it was designed.As usual, if I run into any problems, I will update this review accordingly. But as of right now, things are going extremely well.UPDATE: After 2 years, this thing STILL runs like a champ. I don’t only use it for my car, but I’ve also used it to clean up inside my home as well, even after light construction projects. This was truly an item worth buying. It’s been invaluable over the past 2 years.

Great for cleaning cars
This unit seems to subscribe to the philosophy of doing one thing, and doing it well. It’s a small, lightweight shop vac for vehicle interiors. It’s portable, it’s maneuverable, it can handle wet or dry, and even converts to a blower. It has the right combination of accessories to get the job done. The current incarnation of this, in its deluxe form, has some nice improvements over the original. I’m looking forward to vacuuming out my classic truck later.

After my 1st use I have to say I really like it. Not loud enough to freak my bird out. Functionality and power and size all awesome. Price for quality excellent. Weight great for my back and easy to pull around. Lots of spots to store almost all attachments for dry use. Wet filter and attachment stored separately. I love that it handles the hay my guinea pigs through around no problem. Assembly ok 4 screws, no worries. Id buy it again. I’d recommend for what it is. A small wet dry vacuum.

Received the product first that arrived broken. Requested a replacement which i received and then decided to try out the replacement. It started up and then a flame came out the side almost catching me on fire and then when i got the hoover off began smoking. I contacted the seller and they were very unprofessional with dealing with it repeatedly attempting to make me pay for the shipping and then i was called dishonest! i don’t think the dishonest one considering i was sent a product that almost set me alight!

Bought to go with my new CNC machine. Does an excellent job sucking up the dust and shavings left from the machine. Small and very light weight makes it easy to use and move. Has a few attachments and holders for them all built into the lid. Had a mishap with a minor water spill. Normally, I would use my green machine to suck it up but I decided to give the wet vac a try. It was simple to switch the filters out and the water was cleaned immediately. Works like a charm for both wet and dry functions. Large flat bottom keeps it firmly planted in place without any worry of tipping.

Me encantó, definitivamente es muy potente, succiona muy bien el pelo de mis mascotas que me dejan cuando los subo al coche.Porque no pesa y es pequeña, la puedo cargar cuando tengo que aspirar el polvo de los ventiladores de techoMe encantó el accesorio como boca de pato, ya que entra en los espacios de a los lados de los asientos del carro.Fácil de limpiar.Me hubiese gustado un accesorio con cepillo plano, para poder limpiar al área del aire de los coches.Pero en general es muy potente y fácil de maniobrar.
