Estoy muy contento con la aspiradora. Tengo otra truper también de 5.5hp y el poder de succión de esta es muchísimo mayor. Ya le adapte su cono ciclónico en la parte de arriba

Vacuum is very strong. However, it has a strong chemical smell. I hope it is not toxic!

I've had this vacuum for 2 years now and it's been amazing. The vacuum has great suction and puts the shop vacs I've had in the past to shame. It will suck up nuts and bolts. It can handle sucking up powder from sanding dry wall like a champ. We even used it to pick up pounds and pounds of sand and dirt from our subfloor when we removed old carpet. 2 years later and it's still running like a champ. Do know that I haven't used it to pick up wet stuff. I have a different vac for that. But this one is a go. I can't say enough good things about it. I love it. It also takes other bags from other companies, so that's another plus. YOu can get bags at Home Depot if you need. Great vac. 6 stars!

I was very picky purchasing any small Vacuum. I was looking for something is small, easy to move, not bulking and strong. I had shop vac super Hawk eye 10 gallons ( still little too bulking for my size for any Remodelng jobs) until I saw this Vacmaster I would give a shot. But dang! It's stronger than my old shop vac super hawk eye, suction is so strong can pick everything up. I had filter bag and was sucking all the fine wood dust powder, well I sucked lot of dust ( til the bag got full) Vacuum is strong enough to pop internal filter bag (a loud pop scared me) once filter bag is plugged with dust! Lol I love it. Worth every penny.The bad thing about this Vac, chamber is small for water pick up and air movement is so strong like a tornado and able to pick any splash of water inside the tank and blows out from exhaust. Even tried with foam filter. The only way to fix the problem by adding 3 black foam filter able to stop picking any splash water.Other than that I love it and used on all mostly dry cleaning. Ill use to clean any liquid as emergency.

SUCTION POWERThe suction power is just as powerful as you expect and it meets all expectations and justifies the highest rating it has received in many reviews. Easily beats everything else that I've tried before. A test for vacuuming a dirty car showed how efficient and useful it is. Cuts down the vacuum time by a lot. Another plus is that it can handle wet messes just as well.BLOWER EXHAUSTLike bigger models that I was hoping to avoid, it has a permanent powerful hot exhaust that is also known as the blower. There is no way around this. All vacuums must create an exit for the suction. The blower functionality from the other end can't be turned off. The suggestion is to insert the sound muffler that comes with the accessories to reduce the sound and may decrease the intensity of air flow output and it works wonders. It works very well in eliminating the hot nasty blast and reduces the sound by a lot. But because it is hot and the foam is made of petroleum based materials, it will produce a chemical like odor. That will go away with time but at least in the beginning sessions of operation, the odor is very unpleasant. Not suggested for use in closed spaces initially.Also don't overlook the usefulness of a blower function. It can dub as a leaf blower, replace compressed air can functions like cleaning computer boards if you fit it with the right adapters and even help inflate things.DESIGNOverall, it is better than competition both in terms of accessories and size. I also like the attempts for helping the user organize the accessories and the hose. There are places to put in the attachments so they won't go missing.INCREDIBLE PRICEIt is worth every penny and beats every other model I've tried/owned. You would think a combination of all this which is a rarity in all other models would be very costly but it isn't. The bags are priced very reasonably and easily replaceable/accessible. No price gouging on frequent replacement and throw away designs.NEEDS A CARRYING/STORAGE CASEDifficult to find any storage or carrying case for it. I wish they made one for the unit.There are also no wheels or rolling cart attachment solution. It is primary designed to be set up on a wall, on the floor and be carried on the go.NON-WHEELEDThis is a non-wheeled vacuum designed to be used as stationary vac shop, hung from a wall or otherwise manually placed close to the mess you are cleaning up. You can make a cart for it and turn it into a wheeled version. Therefore it is not suitable to be used as a substitute for a traditional vacuum.The other issue is that the type of hose is suited for stationary tasks and doesn't have a rotate mechanism at the attachment points like wheeled based variants that would adjust to the pull and push action of vacuuming.

I had originally left a 3 star review on this item, not because it's not an excellent vacuum, nor because the seller didn't live up to their promises, but because it is on the UK Amazon site, but comes from Florida and is 120V rather than 240 and I thought it valuable for other UK buyers to be aware of this. I did not think the seller was purposely trying to mislead. They have since responded to me thanking me for the feedback, stating they are making improvements to clear up any confusion and presumably point out that a transformer will be required for European use. Consequently I have upgraded my rating to 5 Star.

I decided I wanted to get serious about detailing my car and that meant getting a good shop vac. I started out looking at the usual suspects with he tub style shop vacs and honestly I discounted the "hand held" style. After reading ton of reviews and watching a ton of videos, I changed my mind and boy am I glad I did.- This things sucks! And I mean that in the best way. The suction power is amazing. I had 4 years of dirt and sand in my cars carpets and this thing got it all out. Even after I thought it had gotten everything I dumped the canister and went over the car one more time. Tons more came out.- The attachments are excellent. Everything you need for detailing a car is right there. The crevice tool and the car nozzle do 90% of the work. Keep in mind this is a suction only vacuum. No rotating brushes, just pure sucking power.- The cord is long and so is the hose. I couldn't quite get both sides of the back seat of my civic with the hose but getting past half way was no problem even with it sitting outside. You won't have a "dead zone" in the middle you cant reach easily.- If you need to do a lot of water work, this might not be the right one. Without wheels, you will be doing all the work to move this around once it is filled with water. But that doesnt mean it cant handle it. I soaked my floor mats and then used this to clean them while wet to get even more dirt out and had no issue. It takes about a minute to switch from being a dry only to a wet dry.If you are looking for a car vac, stop looking. This is what you want. If you want an easy to move shop vac for cleaning dusty areas, this is great. The only thing I would not use it for is large (2-4 gallon) liquid jobs and thats just because it will get heavy fast. It will do the job, it just won't be easy.Highly recommended.

Doy 5 estrellas porque esos comentarios aparecen más que los negativos. Pon atención, es una aspiradora muy potente pero tiene un error en su diseño ya que la distancia entre el extremo inferior del filtro y la base del colector es diminuta, esto quiere decir que si quieres aspirar líquidos solo podrás aspirar una cantidad muy pequeña y ten cuidado porque si tepasas (si aspiras más de 1 ó 1.5 litros aproximadamente) será un desastre, el agua será arrojada por la parte que expulsa aire y la aspiradora quedará empapada, lo que obviamente representa un peligro, además de que corres el riesgo de mojar cosas importantes (y no exagero cuando digo que puede arrojar agua hasta 2 metros). Para aspirar polvo es lo mismo. Es un producto terrible y no la devolví porque algunos comentarios mencionan que no les devolvieron el dinero y no quise arriesgarme.Puedo decirles que recomiendo más una Koblenz. No se dejen engañar por los 5.5 HP. Aparte el ruido es ensordecedor (lo que resulta obvio por la gran potencia), después de aspirar un auto quedo un poco ensordecido y los resultados son los mismos que con una aspiradora de la mitad de su potencia.No la recomiendo a menos que necesites una aspiradora con esa potencia. Y si tanto quieres está aspiradora deberías comprar una de más capacidad, NO la de 5 galones ¡¡olvídalo!! Solo desperdiciaras dinero.

Quede impresionado con su poder de succión, viene con todos los accesorios mencionados y me llego en tiempo y forma, voy a mencionar algunos de los pros y contras que veo:Pros:Excelente poder de succión, es la mejor aspiradora que he tenido.Los accesorios son muy útiles tanto para tareas domésticas como para el detallado automotrizSe siente de buena calidad y ensamble.Cuenta con un difusor de ruido lo cual la hace más silenciosa a pesar de su potente motor.El cable es lo suficientemente largo.Contras:Es muy robusta lo cual resulta en que el equipo sea un poco más pesado y voluminoso que algunas otras.No cuenta con ruedas para moverla fácilmenteLa manguera de succión es buena sin llegar a ser de uso rudo.La manguera de succión en el extremo donde se conectan los accesorios no gira lo cual me resulto muy sorprendente ya que le quita demasiada funcionalidad a la aspiradora, he tenido otras de gama menor y ellas cuentan con esta función en el extremo de la manguera, solo por este detalle le daría 4.5.Los accesorios vienen un poco filosos en sus bordes pero nada que un poco de lija no solucione.En general es de las mejores opciones que hay en el mercado, la elegí sobre una de la marca Rigid basado en un test, los accesorios (puesto que la Rigid se venden aparte) y por el precio.

I was looking for a reliable, portable, light shop vac that has a decent hose length and as much suction as possible and ended up buying this Vacmaster "Beast." I'm really happy with this vacuum and it's exactly what I wanted. So, in terms of each of those things I was looking for:Portable and light - this vacuum is easy to pick up and carry. It doesn't have wheels, but I have a much larger shop vac with wheels so I didn't need that. In fact, I prefer this because I can hold it in one hand while on a step ladder or walk around with it easily (things I can't do with my larger shop vac). It has a 5 gallon chamber, meaning it is quite compact.Decent hose length - mine came with a 7 foot hose and various attachments. Perfect for what I wanted.Strong suction - this is rated at 5.5 HP which is just as strong as my larger shop vac and stronger than the Dyson I use inside. No problem picking up debris and great for vacuuming a car. You can also reverse the hose and use this as a blower.Reliable - so far, so good. It seems well-built and time will tell. I've had it for a few months.Overall, it's a great little shop vac!
