4.0 out of 5 stars Good vacuum but some peices were missing, December 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: WET/DRY CANISTER VAC -- CORDLESS -- RECHARG.

This is a good vacuum at a cheap price, supplied by True Value through Amazon.com. According to the manual it doesn't come with four different suction tools like it shows you in the picture. It only comes with three, the longer crevice tool, the carpet tool, and the upholstery brush. And I am not sure what that pin is for but it is not in there either. I will try to sumbit the manual.
What it does come with is a 12 volt DC cord, as well as an AC cord. They actually did not send my DC cord so I e-mailed True Value. They sent me one special delivery the next day free of charge!
The suctioning ability is pretty good. It picks up larger particles very well. It is also good at picking up dust and animal hair. I am giving it four stars because the battery doesn't last more than 5 minutes before it needs recharging.
Some other good thing about the vac are the inflator nozzles so that it can be used to inflate an air mattress if you go on a camping trip. It also picks up water and wet things and it does not require vaccuum bags. So for the price it is a bargain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty descent for what it costs, September 1, 2005

This review is from: WET/DRY CANISTER VAC -- CORDLESS -- RECHARG.

I had been looking for a small "shop-vac" type portable vacuum for months. I have my huge shop-vac in the garage, but it was such a pain to carry to the basement to use. My wife didn't want me using our regular upright vacuum to pick up saw-dust and dirt, and i didn't think the Dustbuster type vacs had enough storage or suction. So i decided i needed a small (1-2 gallon) shop-vac that i could carry in the house quickly if need be. All the ones all saw previously were corded and I thought that would be a pain, then i just happened to come across this at my local Big Lots store for $20. I bought it immediately. The vac comes with alot of attachments and a shoulder strap (even though it's not very heavy). The suction is pretty good for what I need it to do. The battery is descent. Not sure how long it would last in continuous use, but i just turn it on and off for 30 seconds of use or so and I'm guessing it lasts about 25-30 minutes between charges. My only gripe is the hose is much too rigid and it doesn't have fittings on each end that allow it to rotate as you use it. Also, it has 2 suction settings. I don't see where the reduced power mode has any use and leave mine on high suction all the time. I haven't used it as a blower yet, but i'm guessing (based on the suction power) that you're not going to be able to blow leaves very far. Seems like it would work well to inflate childrens tools such as beachballs and baby pools well though. All in all, this is exactly what i was looking for at exactly the price i wanted to pay. Make the hose more flexible and maybe add a bit more suction and everyone in America will buy one. UPDATE!!! Battery died completely after about 2 yrs and is not replaceable. Switched to a Ryobi vac with the 18V battery pack so when a battery dies, you just use a different one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Things are missing, December 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: WET/DRY CANISTER VAC -- CORDLESS -- RECHARG.

I am rating this with one star. I have not tried it yet, but I just opened the box and some things are missing which is really dissapointing. So this is more like a rating for True Value, the company this is purchased through amazon.com. When I try it, if they send me the cord that is supposed to come with the vacuum, I may write another review. It was supposed to be new but the box was abviously opened so for that I would not buy this from Amazon.com.
