4 out of 5 stars Great handy little product   August 2, 2008

Great multifunctional good sized product. The suction is good, but not great compared to my Hoover Upright bagged vacuum.

The missing star is really for my personal dislike of having to vacuum all the time.



5 out of 5 stars Better than traditional vacs for hardwood floors   July 17, 2008

We love this vacuum. We have a really large one too that we were using to vacuum our floors but we thought this one would be more convenient, and it is. It works great and it is easier to carry or drag around than a big shop vac. It has more than enough power to vacuum the floors and rugs in our house and we put the big one back in the shop.

Most upright vacuums have gotten so big and clumsy and are really only good for carpet. This vac is sooo much easier on hardwood, tile, and rugs (not carpet). You can get under furniture so much better. This vac is so much more flexible, with attachments and all, it can perform so many more functions.

An added perk is that I noticed my cats aren't afraid of it because it is quieter than the big one. So I tried to vacuum my cat and he loves it. I just bought a grooming attachment and now I have so much less cat hair around it's awesome.

And we haven't had any issues with the on/off button that I've seen mentioned in some other comments. Maybe we just got lucky or they improved it.

Didn't buy this exact unit, but I want to post a good word about this Company. I burned out the motor unit accidentally (my fault) in my Shop-Vac 10-gallon wet/dry vacuum a while back during a cleaning job. The unit was still under warranty. I wrote an on-line service request with a thorough description of what happened and received an email reply within a day or two stating a replacement motor assembly had been shipped! No hassles whatsoever and the part even came with installation instructions. Took maybe 20-minutes to install and I didn't have to return the old part.

Very refreshing to find a company these days that provides great, prompt customer service. I will be a faithful Shop-Vac customer from now on and highly recommend their products.

Great vac has a lot of power ,I keep it in my garage just for my automobiles, some of the floor mats are sucked off the floor because it has that much power .It's well worth the money, I would buy another

This is one great vacuum. It's so light weight that it doesn't hurt my back. The size is perfect for my small condo. I've got hardwood floors thru out and it takes only minutes to do it all!!! :)
