Small block with more power!

Very impressed! The device has a high quality appearance. I like the smaller footprint as I will be lugging it around in my RV. Suction power and filter media are the same as my current 5 gallon unit. With no removable wheels, it fits easily into many closets! The only criticism is the attachments. If you want to use it dry you will need bristle attachments. I order an accessory pack for less than $10. This will get the job done.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Negative impression

Great price, two small flaws.

The only problems I have with this vacuum cleaner. The power cord needs to be a bit longer (at least 12ft) and the hose itself needs to be extended another 3ft, it can't reach the ceiling without holding the vacuum cleaner at waist height. I like the size/weight of the device. I use this vacuum cleaner when I work in cleaning clients' houses. Other shop vacuums I've used in the past have been too heavy and bulky to move around customers' homes.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • There are flaws

Look out for cleaning and hygiene products

Note that this is a light shop vacuum at best. The hose is 1 inch in diameter, although the vacuum inlet is 2 inches. If you try to use this product on rough material, it won't work and keeps clogging. If you try to connect all 3 2ft plastic extensions to the hose and try to use the vacuum attachment, the suction power will drop by half. You also need to clean the filter bag regularly (this product doesn't use paper element filter) because it will clog within a second and nothing will…

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Some flaws

Wow! Nice vacuum cleaner!

I continued to use my regular high power vacuum and finally decided to buy a high power vacuum. I'm very happy with this shop vacuum, especially with its size as I don't have a lot of space to put things in the garage. I was surprised that I could find something so inexpensive and so beautiful with all the attachments! In my opinion, this is something of a sports car of shop vacuums. The only thing that bothered me a bit before buying was all the reviews that mentioned the static shock that can

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Love bags easy to find and replace

Bought like many others here at Costco. This item works very well for the size and especially for the price. Don't expect industrial power from them. Plastic accessories are cheap (break easily) and don't have a clip to attach them, but they should be universally compatible with all other accessories of the same diameter. I'm not sure why a lot of people have trouble replacing bags. This unit is the same as the Stanely 4 Gallon Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner, SL18301-4B. The bags are…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Some bugs

40 dollars?! Can't beat-iT

Fantastic value; The upgraded design is stronger, quieter and much more durable! Does not come with a reusable filter; I also found a really decent extension and properly designed brush head on the Revain (although the process involved some trial and error). Whatever you do, my advice is to stay away from those compact sizes and still use a plastic bucket for wet drying. This locking system is also oddly compatible with the previous one; And these engine tops are essentially interchangeable…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Quiet, powerful and beautiful.

As the owner of a carpentry shop with six shop vacuums, I feel like I'm the authority on vacuums. I don't understand why 24% of the reviews are negative because this vacuum cleaner is the quietest of the six I own and the suction power is very satisfactory considering its size. Some people complain about the ten foot cord length, which can be remedied with a six dollar 25 foot extension cord. I get around this problem by buying 16ft aftermarket hoses for about $40. My fine vacuum came with one…

Pros
  • High test scores for hold and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as others

Size and performance reach the BEST ZONE!

This is a good choice if you don't need a larger full size unit with exceptional performance and larger diameter hose. There are many reasons you might like this 4 hp 4 gallon vacuum cleaner. It has a premium look and premium stainless steel finish. It's definitely on the quiet side. All components are solid and well positioned, including the power button, latches, handle, etc. In fact, it's worth noting that the hose even clamps to the body, preventing the hose from being pulled out. It is…

Pros
  • nice stuff
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
