Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Our tests found the Hitachi 7-1/2-gallon industrial vacuum to be a quiet-running but heavy-duty machine that features a durable stainless-steel tank and the kind of high performance we've come to expect from the well-respected Hitachi motor. Of course, the bottom line when talking about a vacuum is how well it picks up debris. Suction in wet/dry vacs is measured in static water lift. The Hitachi rates 90 inches of static water lift, which is about as powerful as you can get for this class of machine. Hitachi's quiet-flow air design helps keep the vacuum running at a subdued 66 decibels (which, to give you an idea, is probably about half the noise made by your dad's old wet/dry vac). The stainless-steel tank is about as stout as any on the market, but, at just a little over 21 pounds, the unit doesn't feel unwieldy or tough to maneuver. A wide footprint and well-built casters make it nimble yet stable when moving it around the shop floor. The vac comes with a plastic filter for wet applications and a washable fabric filter for dry and dusty applications. --Mark McDonald

This review is from: Hitachi RP30SA 7-1/2 Gallon Stainless Steel Industrial Shop Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought this vacuum about 2 months ago and have used from everything from vacuuming up my woodworking shop, drywall dust, the car, you name it. I think its the best vacuum I have ever owned and here is why: 1. Very portable. Light and moves well on its wheels. A long cord. 2. A lot of suction although through a 2" hose it will only clog on hunks that are clearly too big. Sucks up nails, stone, bolts, etc. no problem. 3. Very quiet. Enough said. 4. Nice quality throught. Stainless drum and high quality parts. 5. Does not tip over easily. 6. Good storage for hose and parts. The suction attachments are very good. 7. Very easy to clean. 1 minute to pop arart empty the drum and reassemble. 8. Very good filter. I dont think anything makes it back out in to the exhaust stream.A little pricy but you will agree its agreat vacuum and looks like it will last years.

This review is from: Hitachi RP30SA 7-1/2 Gallon Stainless Steel Industrial Shop Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
Never has the phrase: "You get what you pay for." been so true. This is one heavy-duty vacuum. Keep in mind, I'm comparing this to my two year old Craftsman 2 gal shop vac. In comparison, it's less than half the noise, has probably 40% more suction power, a locking hose, and top-quality attachments. You can do your vacuuming and pull this around by its hose and it follows you easily. The hose is a nice 8 ft. deal. It comes with two stiff extension wands, a handle with pressure release, wet and dry filters, two floor attachments: one with a squeegee for wet cleanup, and one with perimeter brushes for dust and stuff. The pressure release on the handle is for cutting down some of the suction. There *are* times when you want to less suction, like when vacuuming around lightweight objects that you don't want sucked up or ruined. It also includes a rubber adapter so that it will fit standard [local store] shop vac accessories. This vacuum doesn't include stuff that is standard on other shop vacs, stuff that will let you clean your car,..., there's not point in complaining about it. Hitachi leaves you the decision of whether to spring for the top quality Hitachi attachments or bottom quality shop vac attachments. If you already have Hitachi portable hand tools, this is the vacuum to get. Hitachi offers attachments specific to their tools, like hammer drill attachments to suck up concrete dust as you make it. A regular shop vac will deafen you in short order, this one is quieter than your household floor vacuum. That doesn't sound like much, but when you're already used to a noisy one, it's a big deal.
If you're looking for a top-quality shop vac for a reasonable price, this is the way to go. I opted for this one over the Fein because the hose size can be matched to standard attachments, the construction looked sturdier, it's almost as quiet, and it came with some basic accessories. I wouldn't get a different model if I had it to do over again. FWIW, I'm a woodworker, and I use this to clean up and as a portable, dust collector and general shop vac. Long-term addition: I've had this vacuum for at least 3 years now, and it is as good as the day I bought it. Hitachi surely knows how to put out a high-quality industrial strength product at a fair price. One thing I didn't expect was for this to work so well cleaning up a car! It is SOOOOO nice to have such a good shop vac for that nasty job. Tell this to your wife if she's not liking the idea of you spending this much on a shop vac. This has been one of the best tools I've ever bought.

What's great and what isn't,
By Clark H Josephs "Sonof Leon" (Hopewell Junction, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hitachi RP30SA 7-1/2 Gallon Stainless Steel Industrial Shop Vacuum (Tools & Home Improvement)
Unit operates just great. Its Quiet, very quiet. Rolls well and sucks up anything and everything. On the other hand,it came with only two end-attachments suitable for floors and rugs, etc. I miss the small round bristle brush, the crevice piece and the upholstery piece. I cant do the inside of cars with what it has packed with it. Surprised and somewhat let down for the price paid. There is no clear cut order form or whom to contact for parts. The hose does not rotate in its locking collar so it is prone to kink and must be unwound before putting an attachment on it..... a decided disadvantage. So c'mon Hitachi, get on the stick............... I would have liked MORE satisfaction for the price, but, I am happy with the unit. CHJosephs
