Okay first Revain sent this via Hyperjet (faster than fast) and received the Vacmaster within 56 hours of ordering. Everything was there when I opened it. Well packed in carton. And from Reven. The instructions (and yes I'm the guy who reads the instructions) were really good. Simple and to the point. Follow them and you can't go wrong. Don't follow them and you might mess things up. But let's get to the rating. This vacuum is extremely light (completely even), easy to carry, and works for pennies. After the first application I used it in a mud bath where the blue healer sleeps in the evenings and on hot days. It all sucked. Dog fur, scattered organic dog food, dirt, tiny twigs, back 40 wood shavings, dust balls, pebbles and of course clumps of dirt. It comes with multiple nozzles, a trimmer, a wood floor nozzle, even a nozzle for cleaning sofas, chairs, etc. So far, there has been no garbage build-up in the extensions (also included). Someone at Vacmaster really thought when they created this thing, the fun features are endless once you start using it. This is an excellent dual purpose Vacmaster WET/DRY vacuum cleaner. We've used it on hardwood floors and low-pile carpets with no problem and it continues to work. One of the most stylish features of the vacuum cleaner is the cord and the machine itself. You can put the Velcro back in its original position AND attach the plug directly to the back of the machine, keeping it compact and tidy (very Felix I know). The footprint is small, it can be stored under a shelf, in a small closet or just on view and does NOT take up space). The performance of this Vacmaster is very good, actually amazing for its compact size. I am really impressed. I don't think I can say anything against this machine at this point. So far she's been excellent in DRY mode, better than my 12 gallon handyman for sure. Tomorrow we'll take it upon ourselves to blow away everything with the blower, the leaves that are left over from autumn. I'll keep you posted on the progress and maybe add a video. In conclusion, I recommend the Vacmaster 6 gallon for the home, business and anywhere you need a powerful little vacuum. Oh, by the way, we named him R2-D2 because of his style and looks. Have a nice day!
