Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Performance Dacron Shop Vac 901 15 00 by Marcus Barlow

Revainrating 3 out of 5

THE PROBLEM My Shop-Vac Float rises instantly every time. Blocking the air flow. Only if I use this filter

Because of this bag my 3 year old Shop-Vac 12 gallon 5.5 hp. behave strangely! The float rises when I turn on the shop vacuum. Why is this? The float is in perfect condition. I lifted this bag to my lips and could barely air it out. I'm not a weak person, I'm a 33 year old male who works in construction. The child could not blow any air through the bag at all. Should I contact Shop-Vac to see if my bag is in poor condition? The float never goes up in my vacuum unless someone knocks the vacuum over. Why is this happening? I tried removing the foam sleeve and same problem. So, as much as I hated it, I used some wire to hold the float in place. So it CANNOT go up. It seems to be working and the suction is still there, but I have the feeling that the industrial vacuum cleaner's motor is running stronger and a bit louder. Reduced engine life. The bag may be good, but this shop vacuum is not satisfied with that. Perhaps the vacuum cleaner was specially designed with a light float. In such a situation, the vacuum cleaner would have to use a more porous bag, right? A bag that allows some dust to pass through the engine. Is that it, is this sack tight as hell? I mean, I can barely blow air through. It's a damn tight bag that will NOT fit in ANY vacuum in the store. You can use it if you want, but I really think Shop-Vac should contact me.
