Good suction, August 19, 2008
By Cracker57 from San Jose, CA

"Very nice vac. I bought it to clean my truck and ended up using it for a home remodel. It has good suction and picks up almost anything. The only problem I've had was the intense exhaust blows up lots of dust so I try to point it away from stuff I haven't sucked up yet."

perfect install vac, August 11, 2008
By Txcabinetman from Diboll,Tx

"I do custom cabinets and this vac is the perfect job site companion. It's small, light weight, powerful and has useful attachments. It doesn't take up much room in the trailer and makes easy work out of clean up at the end of the job, even minor wood dust in carpet. Great product."

"Great power for a small vac. Easily carried around, no casters however. Small capacity means less weight to dump when using on liquids. Doesn't come with foam sleeve however. Can be used with a bag when cleaning up fine particles."

Shop vac, January 14, 2008
By SAG8198 from Willis, TX

"This shop Vac is Great. it is easy to carry, small enough to get into tight spaces and very powerfull. I would recomend it to anyone that needs a smaller shop Vac but does not want to saccrifice power. Pretty much anything that will fit through the hose it will pick up. Great purchase."

"The unit is compact,powerful and will accept hoses of larger or smaller sizes which came with other vacs.Operating is essentially the same as other vacs but its size enables one to carry it into small cavities."
