5.0 out of 5 stars ON-DEMAND VAC, July 13, 2001

By	T ADAMS (OLYMPIA, WA) - See all my reviews

THIS IS THE BEST SHOP VACUUM I HAVE COME ACROSS. THE UNIT IS EXTREMELY POWERFULL, IT HAS THE BEST CFM'S-180, SEALED PRESSURE OF 65", H.P.-6.0. EXTREMELY QUIET FOR THE POWER. EXTRA LONG 12 FOOT HOSE EASILY HOOKS TO MY SANDER. VAC ALSO LETS ME PLUG MY SANDER INTO IT, AND ONLY TURNS ON WHEN I TURN MY SANDER ON. EXCELLENT FILTRATION SYSTEM, EASILY EMPTIES LIQUID SPILLS WITH TANK DRAIN. THIS VAC IS EXTREMELY DEPENDABLE, AND IS A TRUE WORKHORSE! THE ONLY THING I WISH IT HAD WAS AN EXHAUST PORT, TO TURN THE UNIT INTO A BLOWER. OVERALL, THE BEST WET/DRY VAC ON THE MARKET!

4.0 out of 5 stars On Demand, November 1, 2002

By	Loyd Jordan (Loveland, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great vac, however we were expecting it to turn on (On Demand) with the tool switch and shut off when the tool switch was turned off. It forces you to go back to the vac switch to shut it down. The 8 amp tool rating could also be increased to handle 10 to 12 amp saws and planers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mine works Great, June 13, 2004

By	Carl F. Keppel "Carpenterrific" (bethel park, pa United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the reviewers that complained that they needed to go back to the vac to manually turn off the unit when using the "on-demand" feature, you need to return the unit to be repaired. My vac works perfectly when using the on demand feature. It has a delay of about 6 or 7 seconds before shutting off. This delay is a built in feature that allows the hose to clear itself before shutting down. I think most of the problems mentioned in the reviews have come from not reading the instructions (I must admit, I'm guilty of this myself from time to time). As far as clogging, all vacs with and 1 1/2" hose will clog from wood chips. I invested in the larger hoses that amazon offers, and they fit perfectly into the vac intake. As far as the tool end connection to the hose, this is where good old yankee ingenuity will help. There are rubber fittings available that are "stepped" in size to accomadate different diameter connections, this item doesn't work on all connections, but most. I did have to have the on-demand switch replaced after about 9 months of use (reason for the 4 stars), but other than that this vac has performed extremely well. My main use of the vac is dust collection while being attached to my Bosch orbital sander. It picks up about 95% of the dust, which is a huge improvement over using the attached cloth bags that come with some sanders. I have several of my shop power tools pre-fitted with vac hoses, and simply wheel the vac from tool to tool when needed. This vac is a great alternative to investing in a dust collection system, and all that goes with it, when you don't have the room or the budget.
