Great product, poor packaging...

"I was very excited about this product. It needs to be special ordered from the factory and takes a few weeks to arrive. I have used the metal canister style vacuums in the past and I was pleased with their performance so I was expecting the same. For the most part the performance of the vacuum met or exceeded my expectations. It worked much better and quieter than my previous vacuum. I have not tried to use this for liquids yet but for dry pickup it works great!
One other item: I wish the wheel brackets were a little more rugged, the plastic attaching the wheels to the can look like they might not last. I purchased this vac for lifetime use, I don't think they will make it that long from what I see here."

Great Shop Vac

"This is by far the best shop vac I have owned or used!
I bought it for farm duty applications as it is used in cleaning out my seed cleaning equipment.
I was easy to put together, it works great and it seems as though it will last a long while. Great fittings and a nice rack to boot (I would loose them without it).
The only downside for my application is that it is a wide hose and I sometimes need to get in real tight spaces. However, the suction this creates usually makes it work out and I have come up with a way to rig a smaller fitting on to the hose.
I definitely made the right choice when buying this one!"
