So I admit I got a little excited watching car detailing videos. The Detail Geek does such a good job that I began thinking that maybe I could grow up and do at least half as nice a job as he could. So I Googled around, read on reddit, and found a few options. But the Home Depot one most commonly suggested had some really poor reviews. And when I found this one, I saw it had good features and more horsepower, as well as happy reviews. The price was right, so I picked it up. It's going to do great with the car but at first I've used it in the house. I live in the south and it can get a little cobwebby pretty fast. After the zip through with the regular vacuum, I came along with this one. I used the extension tubes, two of them, plus the crevice tool, and was able to reach ceilings, corners, wood trim along the floor, and other hard to reach places with ease. The suction is great and the house looks nice. You have to screw on the four wheels, which is not really a big deal, one screw each. And I also found my crevice tool inside the actual vacuum. So you may have to take yours apart to find some extensions. That's not difficult. Just pop two clip handles off the side and then pull the motor and filter top off. It doesn't weigh much. As a matter of fact, the whole unit doesn't weigh much at all. It comes with a pretty good power cord that seems to be the same diameter as my heavy duty extension cord that I attached to it so I could roam around the entire house. The vacuum has a thick red handle mounted at the top that also folds down, and when you pull it up and lift the unit with it it's an easy chore. So far, I've enjoyed working with this vacuum a lot and the results on the house have been effective. Will take it out to the car when it stops raining. But given the suction that I've seen so far inside it won't have any problem getting me towards Detail Geek results.

While I already have a couple of shop vacs, my main one I frequently leave connected to my table saw. And changing the hose between the saw and the regular extended hose I use for general cleaning was proving to be too tedious as I have aged. The large 2-1/4inch hose and the associated nozzles were awkward to use to get into smaller places like under and around my workbenches and the smaller crevices of my other power saws and CNC equipment. So I began looking around for a versatile and cost effective smaller vacuum and found this unit. So far, it has exceeded my expectations for value, strength, and utility. It is stable dragging around my shop, not tipping over or catching on the various corners of other shop equipment. And it is powerful, easily picking up metal shavings from both drilling and tinsmithing activities along with the usual dust, wood chips, and saw dust. The fact that it can be used as a leaf blower as well I haven't really tried yet. But the fact that you can do that with it is a plus. It's Fall as I write this so I'll be trying it out as a blower soon. It has a convenient carry handle that folds out allowing for two-handed control of the included blower tube. More on that when I finally use it that way. Overall a well made unit with all the features of a larger shop vac but with the perqs of smaller size and the ability to be a handheld leaf blower as well. I suspect the fact that it's powerful as a vacuum will serve it well as a smaller area leaf blower as well as for clearing dirt and dust from gardening activities.

I needed a shop vac for some minor yard stuff and chose this one because of the detachable blower. It's a nice solid little unit. I've used the blower and it works well. All the parts are there and it's intelligently designed, the clips are solid and have a nice positive SNAP to them. Nothing is cheap on this, although it was affordable and the blower is a nice feature others didn't provide. It'll work for my needs. Like everything in man-world, I start by looking at the big beefy overkill models, but decided on this, and I'm glad - this was the right choice.

Havent used blower yet but I think it was a neat idea to add on and could be useful. It was easy to assemble but will need a screwdriver to do it. Has great suction, light weight, and rolls easy. Filters were nicer then expected and like the variety of accessories. Only cons/probs Ive noticed so far has been that the accessories seem to be more cheaply made then the rest of it and than any other brands I've bought over the years and some of them dont work as well or just arent quite shaped right is how i can best put it. The floor piece would be awesome but just very awkward angles to use it and I've tried using it any way possible to make it work better lol..have to sit down to get closest angle but besides those minor things this seems to be a great little machine and recommend getting it. Price is good and accurate to me. Also not too big but big enough, i was going to get a smaller at first so easier to store but saw this and had to try it out but size was better then expected and dont see it being much problem to store.

This is for the US, it is not compatible for the UK. I had to buy a separate adapter converter which cost over £100 and it still does not work unfortunately.

Whoever designed this vacuum/blower combo really put some thought into it. The fact that this is a 2-in-1 Wet Dry Shop Vacuum AND Leaf Blower is awesome and reduces the need to buy and store 2 large items. It claims to be 5HP which is in the upper power range for these types of devices but I have no way to test, however both sucking and blowing functions great.. very powerful. The way the motor attaches and disengages with the base is solid and is easy to manage, the plastic is of high quality and has a slight textured finish that in comfortable provides good grip. It does not tip over easily when pulled around and the wheels work fine. I'm not going to dock a star for this, but this would be even better if ALL the attachments could be stored on the canister itself. The smaller brush end and nozzle do fit into the top of the legs, but the hose and blower wand do not. If they were to ever redesign this maybe there is a way to keep everything together.. but honestly I am really nit picking. The price was very reasonable and I can easily recommend this.. I regularly use this on my condo's patio/gardens, car detailing, and whenever I have a DIY project around the house. Unless you are a contractor/professional or have a serious shop, anything more is probably overkill.

Great vacuum and extremely well designed. I like that there are places on the vacuum to store each attachment, someone was really thinking when they designed this. The conversion to leaf blower is super easy and very powerful. The suction is more then adequate for my garage projects and it has a good assortment of attachments. Overall I'm very impressed with this vacuum. The reviews I read online helped me choose this one and I am not disappointed! Highly recommend it.

This thing sucks hard, in a good way! great power on the thing, love the detachable blower function. Overall a 10/10 shop vac! Well worth the money!

Ce produit vaut la peine d'être acheté. Il est puissant et le souffleur fonctionne vraiment bien.
