IF YOU'VE BEEN BURNED BY SHOP VAC...
5 Stars
IF YOU'VE BEEN BURNED BY SHOP VAC...
PREVIOUS SHOP VAC: Used to have a Shop Vac very comparable to this WORKSHOP. Much like a lot of them, it puttered out and eventually stopped working. I did, however, put that previous Shop Vac through hell without regularly cleaning the filter or having a separate bag inside the vac. Aside from the fact that my previous Shop Vac stopped working which I could understand after 3+ years of hell, there were a handful of things that I either thought were cheap components, or were simply corners that were cut, in terms of overall quality and toughness.CURRENT WORKSHOP VAC: Before purchasing this model, I read a handful of great reviews and few not so great reviews, which is common for any product, right? Those great reviews were spot on and I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH THIS VAC. Hose quality, hose swivel action, the mechanism for removing the hose is easy and very intuitive. All the hose attachments fit very snug and do not fall off while working. On/off switch is an actual easy to flip switch (crazy thought, i know). STRONG SUCTION, more than enough, and sometimes too much, which I will never complain about. Air filter has to be pulled off from its rubber bottom, which means it will not just fall off or ever be loose. Choice of different air filters is great too, normal, fine dust, and HIPA.SUMMARY: If you have been burned by SHOP VAC and looking for a great alternative, this WORKSHOP vacuum is the real deal. Especially for the price.
