2.0 out of 5 stars Lightly built, May 5, 2008

By	George A. Works (St. Eustatius, Netherlands Antilles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this to clean up water from the concrete floor of my barn. It arrived with one of the plastic clips that attaches the vacuum to the canister broken, so it can't be picked up by the handles. The vacuum has too little power to suck water through the large hose so water runs out in a puddle when the motor is turned off. The small hose wouldn't connect properly and has only one attachment. The whole unit is lightly built and not suitable for daily use in a barn.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced for what you get, poor feature design, April 7, 2009

I think there are two areas that are important in a shop vacuum; its operational performance, and the overall design of the storage, tools, and how it all fits together. While this model has good performance, the overall design is quite poor. I am very disappointed that I paid nearly $300 for something that is no better than the $150 models at Lowe's and Home Depot. I expected good storage design based on all the included hoses and options.

The good: Very powerful, with both a very high airflow rate and very high total suction. A multitude of filter options lets you pick up anything. The filter bag keeps fine dust from escaping (cement, soot, plasterboard, etc) while the standard cartridge works great for typical construction cleanup. The hoses are very flexible and attach securely. Some others have springy/stiff hoses that are hard to work with and some pull out of the connector easily. The container is solid, wheels are smooth, cord is nice and long.

The bad: The storage part of the design seems to have been created by rabid monkeys. The cord loop ears are tiny, and positioned behind all of the tool storage. This means you have to remove the tools from the bin to use the cord wrap, then the tools don't fit well into the storage bin. The bin is too small to fit even the included tools, making it rather useless. The hose hanger just can't be used with the tool storage bin in place, so you'd have to remove the bin just to store the hose. Also there is only one hose hanger, for the 2.5" hose, while this kit includes a 1.25" hose also. I guess it doesn't matter since the hanger is useless.

Overall this is just poor design with no real reason. They could have put the bin on the front, leaving the cord and hose hangers accessible, or some other design option. I would not buy this item at even 50% off if given the choice again.
