Review on Husqvarna 967983806 Vacuum Cleaner Orange by James Hodzic

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good shop vacuum with basic features

I was looking for a replacement for a 25 year old shop vacuum I had when I came across this item so I ordered it. Here's what I found: 1. Cane tubes are made of very thin and light metal. Pleasant in one aspect, not so good in another. Mine in particular arrived with one end deformed into an oval that was almost flat. I was able to fix this by inserting wooden dowels, increasing in diameter until I was able to restore the main thread. This is a problem with thin metal, it deforms and dents easily. It also makes noise when recording stuff in store.2. The cord on this unit is only about 18 feet long. This is a normal length but too short for workshop work. It should be about another 8 feet longer.3. The noise level of this vacuum cleaner is pretty low except when picking up rocks or other hard objects. Then the metal rods make a strong rumble along with the sound of the vacuum.4. This vacuum cleaner has good suction power. Not strong, but not weak either. Like a medium range. Speaking of which, if you're used to an outlet to plug your hose into to use as a floor, forget about it with this device, it doesn't exist.5. I could not find a replacement for the vacuum bag. While it's a nice feature, it's useless if it can't be replaced when it's full. The wheel system on this unit is perhaps one of the best I've seen. Easy to move even if you need to overcome anti-fatigue floor mats. Overall, this is a good basic system that lacks some of the features of my old system.
