4 Gallon, 5 Peak HP with 2-Stage Industrial Motor Wet/Dry Floor Vacuum, VF408, Blue

Super great vacuum, and it’s amazingly quiet. The quiet part is huge for me. I am not a fan of loud appliances. This vacuum is truly quiet and does such a great job.

I just got mine day before yesterday and have only had a little time to try it but that's all I needed to see just how much this thing can suck up! It has way more, several times more sucking power than my 1.5hp ShopVac and makes only a fraction of the noise the old shop vac does. Besides its super sucking power I cant believe how quiet it is! I was hoping to find one that wasn't as noisy as my old shop vac but have a lot more suction power and this is it. The first time I turned this on I had my TV on at normal volume and I expected not to be able to hear anything else but the vacuum. Surprise! I could still hear the TV and understand what they were saying without any problem at all! As for sucking power, this thing is like, WOW! I bet it could suckup and hold a bowling ball with the end of the hose. I'm a bachelor with a strong aversion to house cleaning. Add to that a bad lower back and a neck injury that makes doing anything quite painful. So needless to say, but I will any who, my place is a little more than say,, a disaster area. It would just about take a tornado to clean it up. With that in mind this vac is just what I needed. It's light weight and has such sucking power I only have to go across an area a couple of times for it to suck up rocks, sand, dirt, goat heads, stickers, and everything else that has built up over the years. My old shop vac couldn't suck up the same stuff this one did in a minute, even if I run my old one across the same area all day. My only complaint about this one is the wands that came with it. They are so flimsy! Granted, they are light weight, but they are also very crooked. When I stuck them together with the bow in each one going the opposite of the other it almost looks like a snake crawling across the floor. With the bow in each one turned the same way it makes a nice rainbow shape. Maybe not a complete rainbow, but enough to be very notice able. It would really help if they had a little larger inside diameter and a little thicker wall so that there was more to them. Also if they had a larger ID it wouldn't restrict the suction power like the ones it has does. But, other shop vac tubes that are stronger, longer, and don't have a bow in them, will fit and work with it's hose. I have a pretty good upright vac but the beater bar in the head of it likes to catch on a string in the carpet and unravel it wrapping it around the bar in the process. It does pretty good in large open area's, which I don't have cuz of too much stuff. And even though it has a hose and attachments, when using the hose the beater head keeps running and it makes all sorts of noise. I'm so glad that I decided to give this one a try! It has so much sucking power and is so quiet I can hardly believe it. I've never in my life seen or used such a strong vacuum that is so quiet! It probably even has enough suction power to run one of those small roller brush heads that work off of the air flow. Even if it doesn't it still has enough suck power to pull up all but the deepest dirt in the carpet. I highly recommend this vacuum for anybody looking for a new one. You might want to pick up a set of stronger & longer wands or tubes for the hose but it still does pretty good with the ones that come with it. This has to be the best vacuum anywhere for under $100. Besides, if you don't like it you can always send it back. But I'd bet that after you try it you wouldn't let anybody take it away from you for anything. So if you are looking for a good deal on a great vacuum you should give this one a shot. I bet you will be very happy with it. There's one other little thing and that's the bags for it. They are a bit expensive and a little hard to find other than on Amazon. So after using the one that came with it I'm going to try one of the blue wrap around paper filters that I use with my old shop vac. It doesn't have the plastic ring to hold it on but a good sized rubber band or small bungee cord should hold it on over the paper filter inside it.

This vacuum is the absolute best. It’s so sturdy and easy to move about, and so convenient with the long hose and all the attachments. There quite literally isn’t anything I can’t clean with this! I don’t even dust anymore, and simply use the brush attachments on this. The suction is so powerful that I never have to worry about making multiple passes to get everything. It is a bit loud, but not much more than a regular vacuum. The one downside is that the recoil for the cord does not work. It is mildly infuriating on such an otherwise high quality product, but at the end of the day, I wouldn’t trade this vacuum for any other, messy cord included.

Let me start out by saying what kind of consumer I am. I intended this for regular houshold use. I do not have a "shop" so its hard for me to speak on the shop vac aspect of this product. However I like it for many reasons. 1-less frustersting with the cord. This one had a retractable cord and also being a canister vaccum I am not constantly running over the cord when I vaccum which used to irritate me allot with a run of the mill traditional standing bagless vaccumm. -the attachments and hose: I like using the long attachments and hose for reaching into corners, even on the ceiling to get cobwebs. On a typical standing vac this is hard to do because the hose and any attachment options ars always so short. I also find it is good for stairs, less frusterating than a standing vac. And its light weight so you dont hurt yourself carrying up stairs. -the filters and option for a dust bag: I actually hate dumping a bagless vaccum from the dust bucket that comes off. Its a huge mess and I always feel like I am breathing it. Not only does this have a large filter on the inside and a small heppa filter near the back to keep kick back and dust at bay, you can get dust bags to have even more protection against the dust. Apparently I have read its optional on this one but I honestly prefer it anyways and its easy to install. I saw a video clip of someone changing the dust bags. -good for carpet, rugs, sofas or hard flooring. I use this on everything and it worked great. You will notice a little pedal to switch between hard and soft flooring. No issues with either so far. -last but not least: decent price!

Funciona súper bien, los accesorios estaban completos (los tubos están dentro de los esquineros de cartón). Lo único malo y es por lo que le doy 4 estrellas es porque el retractor de cable no funcionó en ningún momento.

Fonctionne parfaitement. Nettoie le BBQ en un rien de temps.

Arrived promptly, very handy and doing the job!

Hose and wand are plastic, very cheap . Returned the product for the sanicare product much better quality

Not easy to use
