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.

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

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!!!!!

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.
