Black & Decker UV1000B 11.5 Amp 10-Gallon Utility Vacuum

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Here's a scenario: It’s 3:00am, it’s storming out, and you’re suddenly awakened by the sound of the wet floor alarm in your basement, alerting you the sump pump just gave out. Thank goodness you bought that Black & Decker UV1000B utility vac. With a large 10-gallon capacity and 11.5 amp motor, this wet/dry vac is ideal for virtually any cleanup situation, from garage and workshop debris, to laundry room spills, standing water in sinks, and flooded basements. But wet/dry pickup isn’t all this workhorse can do. A detachable blower can clear a patio, driveway, or sidewalk quickly and is great for filling air mattresses, too. The utility vac uses a foam filter sleeve for wet pickup and a foam filter/paper filter bag combination for dry cleaning. A long 6-foot cord, 7-foot hose, and two 10-inch hose extensions let you clean larger areas more easily, while an auto-shutoff keeps the unit from overflowing. That’s something you’ll appreciate if you ever find yourself awakened at 3:00am by that wet basement alarm.--Carl Thress

The portable blower detaches from the top of the vac to quickly clean off patios, sidewalks, or driveways.

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful all around vacuum for the garage, February 1, 2003

This review is from: Black & Decker UV1000B 11.5 Amp 10-Gallon Utility Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)

Works pretty cool sucking up lint from the dryer lint filter, sucking up stuff in the floor mats. Very loud unit, so don't expect it to be a quiet vacuum because it's not.

The attachments are great but the T nozzle isn't all that great when trying to pickup my Dalmations dog hairs from the garage floor (it pushes some of it around).

I also use it to clean out my bagless vacuum's container since that can be messy when dumping out. Also use it to pick up the kitty litter that's spilled out of the cat box.

It does what it's supposed to do. Still waiting to use it for a wet spill and see how that works out.

For the price, it's a good unit and with FREE SHIPPING you can't really go wrong.

Good shop vac for consumer duty work, but it is very loud. It is 100dB @ 6 inches, and 95 @ 3 feet (yes I have spl measuring device, I'm a paranoid dork). So you really need to wear hearing protection with this one.
