Vacmaster 4-Gallon 5 Peak HP Household Wet/Dry Vacuum – VF408B 1101

Nice and Compact
I have almost always bought Sears indoor and outdoor vacuum cleaners for my garage and patio needs. This is the first time I have bought outside of Sears, and I am pleased. This vacuum is small in size and much easier to move around the round vacuum’s I was used to. In addition, it stores far more of its attachments than the Sears vacuum ever did. You still will need a container to store some of the attachments but its really impressive how much this thing can hold for such a small vacuum. It’s got a basket attachment and a 2 slots for other attachments. The hose and tubes are about an inch and three quarters to two inches in diameter, are very light but strong, the tubing is very flexible but won’t kink on you either. It is light moving around but is a bit top heavy, [this is where the motor is.], the tank is big enough to handle most household areas for wet work. It has a large on off button on the top and two large clasps for opening and closing the top half from the bottom half. This is a nice feature with those with big hands. A very nice feature is a spring-loaded extension cord. I cannot tell you how much easier it is to vaccuum an area without always tripping over the cord. Suction is really good as long as you make sure your attachment is in contact with the floor. If your at an angle to the floor it will not pick up things as well. As soon as I realized what I was doing wrong, there wasn’t a problem.Positives: Good Price, very good suction power, ease to move around does not get in the way of itself. Great suction just be sure you’re at the right angle with the attachment you’re using. Nice interior volume. It stores nicely in a very small space, I love this.Negatives: Some assembly required and of course the instructions aren’t always clear, YouTube it you will be fine. [The hooks for the hose were the most difficult.] Does not store everything that comes with it. To the best of my knowledge, it cannot be used as a blower. The floor wands for vacuuming and mopping are a little too small for large areas but do work well, just plan on it taking a little longer to do the same job.Overall, I recommend this vacuum. As long as you’re not doing more than a two-car garage or a patio of equivalent size this product will serve you well. In addition, there are third party products that you can use, [bags and filters], that will save you money and work just as well as the factory brands. I do not recommend this product for commercial or large-scale use, mainly because of the small size of the attachments, not because it couldn’t do the job.

Reliable! Does everything you need it to do always.
My life revolves around a good shop vac. I have livestock, trees, cobwebs, standing water, you name it. I’m not a contractor so I don’t need a huge one. I’m somewhat disabled so I need a lighter one that I can carry but one that can do it all. This is it folks. I’m shocked at how well this shop vac works both inside barns, homes, and outside. Easy to carry, pull it around, take care of all sorts of heights, does a great job, etc. Can’t thank this company enough for designing this gem. Makes my life easier. It is so quiet that I even use it to groom my horses… seriously. And has great suction. Now, I would advise you get yourself about a 25 or 50 foot outside extension cord that is somewhat light weight…don’t need huge amperage here. This is a light machine thus don’t need something heavy to drag around. If you do I will tell you that it will set it on its back end when pulling it around due to it being a light weight machine. I would also recommend to NOT pull out the residing electrical cord all the way. I just pull it out a bit and attach the extension cord. No reason to add strain to the existing electrical cord. I would absolutely buy this vac again. It is a GREAT shop vac. And by the way, I had to find one that only had these smaller diameter wands for I have loads of accessories from my last machine that I wanted to utilize. So Thank You for designing this Vac!

Probably a good product, but I ordered and waited 2-3 weeks for it just to find out it was damaged during shipping. I got my refund but was not impressed with the delay time.

Très bonne aspirateur et moins bruyante que la concurrence

Me gustó la aspiradora, es práctica y con buena potencia, tamaño ideal que no afecta la potencia, se puede mover o trasladar sin tanto problema. Muy completa con sus aditamentos. Recomendada
