This is a great shop vacuum and I really like it. At the same time, this whole bucket shopwack has several problems. First, the included dry filter is pretty crappy in my opinion. I never used it, went straight to the store and bought a matching filter for it. Second, there isn't a good way to roll up the hose (especially if you're buying any attachments). Third, he becomes very heavy when standing on a bucket. You always want to fall on your side or tip over when holding it by the bucket handle. The fourth thing is that the bucket handle is not easy to attach to the device and makes it very bulky. Because of my third comment. I ended up buying two 7 gallon buckets which worked great with them but cost me $20 each and a $20 filter. To really make it a real vacuum, the bucket needs wheels and extra weight underneath. Revain sells bucket carts that attach to the bucket, but decent quality carts seem to cost around $50 or more. So for this product to perform the same as a regular vacuum cleaner, expect to pay over $100 extra.
