Love-Less 16004K 16-Gallon Vacuum with Turbo Sander

by Love-Less

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Proven refinements make the Love-Less Ash 16004 16-Gallon drywall vacuum the best choice on the market, and now it is available complete with the Turbo Sander to get you through your drywall sanding in no time. Cyclonic pre-filtering forces the larger particles to the outside of the barrel where they collide with vertical ribs keeping the filters cleaner, longer. The patented double filtration system prevents dust from being blown back out into the air. When changing to wet pick up there is no need to change the filters because the filters are behind the wet separation point, keeping them dry. The drain can be regulated from drip to full flow without removing the cap. This will let the user hit a floor drain. The suction hose can also be used as a drain hose as it fits inside the drain cap. This vacuum comes complete with 2 wands, 1 crevice tool, 1 square floor tool, 1 micro prefilter bag, and a 12' X 1 1/2" Crush Resistant Hose. Full One-Year Limited Warranty.

When I saw this product on This Old House, it looked like the answer to my dreams - I only wish! When the product arrived, I assembled it and tried it to make sure it worked. My reaction was that it was slow, but the lack of dust was a real positive. At the time, I wasn't ready to use it for a project, so packed it away for a few months.

Last week, I took it out, followed the instructions for oiling (which involves trying to get a special oil they include through a pin hole), and started to use it. Again, I found that I could do the work by hand 3 or 4 times as fast, but there was virtually no dust. Being retired, time isn't as valuable as it used to be, so I continued for 20 minutes, when the unit stopped working altogether. The minimal, poorly written instructions gave some guidance for troubleshooting, which proved to be totally ineffective. Since I'm an engineer, I proceeded to disassemble it, and found pretty chintzy construction consisting of primarily plastic parts. After cleaning everything off as well as I could, I did manage to get the fly-wheel sort of contraption which drives the oscillation to spin, but only if I gave it a push to get it started. This, of course, is useless once the mechanism which holds the sandpaper is put back on. I concluded that the company gives a 30 day warranty for a reason. Mine's going in the trash can!

The shop vac part of it has some attractive features, like machine washable filters, but mine trips the GFCI circuit every time I turn it on. Since most codes require GFCI circuits in garages, basements, and shops, it requires using an extension cord to some other part of the house. No way I'd buy this poorly engineered product again.
