There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The only reason I got a second one is because I gave my first one that was over five years old to my brother in law who loves it. I looked at several other shop vacs and this is the one I got a second time.
I keep a couple of filters on hand so I can use a clean one while other is airing out after cleaning it.
I would say the only negative thing is that the attachment can come off if they are too lose and get super stuck if you push too hard. The ridged systems fit with this and they have little ridges that keep the attachment from falling off so I use them often.
One of the best quality is how powerful it sucks anything. It gets dog hairs out of carpet and deep sand stuck in car mats. I have not found anything that this bad boy can’t handle.
We have black carpet in our car and this is the only vacuum that has really got all the dirt out.
My guess is these last a long time. I have yet to where one out. 7 years and counting.
By the way...when ordering this vacuum(or any other one you may find that won't match its performance), go to the following link: FilterPal HD [1 Pack] - The Dust Stops Here! and get yourself one or two of these "Filterpal" covers to pull down over your normal paper filter on your vacuum. When done vacuuming, just pull off the dust cover, shake it out, and your right back in the action....saving loads of cash from routinely buying vacuum filters. These dust covers will add 100 times more life to your paper filters and are a good pre-filter for the smallest of dust particles you want to keep off your regular filter an OUT of the MOTOR.
Top reviews from other countries
With parent retailer Sears now gone and their Craftsman tool line with it, I replaced the old shop vacuum with what seemed to be its modern day equivalent, the Workshop Wet/Dry 60 liter vacuum. It was an inspired move.
The Workshop has just as large a bin as my old machine and has every bit as much power, perhaps more. It also provides places to store not only all the tools and accessories but the cord too, right on the vacuum itself. The old vacuum was prone to having the bucket fall off if you were to fail to lift it by the flange and instead lifted by what appeared to be handles but were in fact molded ducts to direct exhaust air down. The new one can be securely lifted any way you wish.
The last pleasant surprise is that in spite of the passing of more than three decades, the new machine cost a mere $25 more than the old one cost, and that one was bought in 1985 dollars.
I would not have thought that a vacuum cleaner would have me this enthusiastic, but there it is. :)
Five stars.
