Questions & Answers

Could you please let me know what wattage inverter I will need to use this with my car, if I intend to use this with a power inverter? According to the description, I don't see any information on the power draw. ?

If you want to use 1, you may do so. HP/1 Gallons Shop Vacuum with 1000 Watt Inverter would be sufficient. 1,500 Watt inverter may not be needed. If you had a 5 hp 1 gallon shop vac, you could vacuum your car much better than you would if you used a car wash.

This vacuum has a powerful suction, but how strong is it?

My necklace was delivered to me in May 2016, and it is still going There are two motors in this machine that have the same power rating as several other larger, more expensive machines. To be honest, I think it's as strong as my M***e ((name masked for obvious legal reasons! It goes without saying that I check and clean the seal fairly regularly, and I also use it with a "pre-" Since I can use the vacuum inside the house as a dust collector for my "creative activities" I use a cloth filter ((explained below)) plus a bag inside the vacuum itself rather than relying solely on the included cloth filter. I basically make sawdust for fun, which is one of my hobbies Even so, I have accidentally picked up some pretty heavy items with it, such as bolts and large steel nuts. The main thing is that it doesn't have a motor. It controls the speed of the motor. As for plugging it into an external controller, I have not done so because, whether I'm using it for hobby-based applications or a business. Here's the stuff When it comes to dust collection or, because it is light weight, using it to vacuum the house, I need it on FULL.

This is an example of how to cite "*br>" Each inner bag is divided into two compartments It involves the pre-emption holder and the pre-emption Those are "hacks" I came up with Superglue is what I use There are filters in my M***e that remove particles so fine that they resemble If these are just slipped over the port in the body of the vacuum, they become loose. Did you hack into something? The rubber band layers should be heavy/thick A vacuum pulls the bag backwards against the bump, and so it stays in place, and also makes the seal between the edge of the bag hole and the port stronger. It refers to a period before There are two coffee cans stacked on top of each other that serve as a filter In the bottom case, the lid of the bottle has a circular opening with an emptied cylindrical prescription bottle that is mounted to grip the bag, while air is spun by a jury-rigged pump.

This product picks up dog hair from car seats well, but how well does it get rid of it?

As soon as it stopped working, it stopped picking up hair. It is strongly recommended that you do not purchase managed to use it for a little over ten hours.

Are there reusable bags included with this product? Does the bag come with this product?

YES, they include two vacuum bags, a cloth bag for cleaning surfaces dry, and a foam bag for cleaning surfaces wet. In both cases, they are re-elected Intended for use.

Budget vacuum of exceptional quality
5/5

Does a great job! That's the worst thing I've ever seen! If it is capable of sucking a golf ball through a garden hose, I wouldn't doubt it. I think we're done with the jokes now. There is nothing to complain about in terms of this vacuum. Although the attachments are provided, the vacuum has a great deal of suction power. The vacuum does a fantastic job when I use it to vacuum cars! In regards to the power cord, it offers about 10 feet of length, which is nice. However, for most applications, an extension cord will be necessary. Additionally, the suction power is pretty impressive. Furthermore, it is not very loud compared to other vacuum cleaners. While it is not blaringly loud, it is not unbearably quiet either. I would say the vacuum hose is adequate at about 6 feet in length. A rotating end of the hose makes things even better. The hose does not kink as easily as a result of this, making it so much easier to use with attachments. * Speaking of attachments, it comes with everything a person could possibly need for a simple cleaning task. Unlike other vacuums, this one does not have an extension tube as many do. That seems to be the only thing that is This vacuum performs well when it is mixed with wet and dry cleaning. Using the vacuum, I was able to vacuum up sand from a carpet, followed by standing water, then back to the sand. Quite a bit of thick wet mixture can also be done using it. Collection buckets hold quite a lot while being easy to handle at the same time. I'm sure most people will set the unit down before vacuuming, even though a vacuum can be carried around while You will not be able to slide the unit well on the ground if you place the unit on the ground before vacuuming. It can be dragged along with a tug of war, but expect to encounter resistance along the way. I would say this was a fantastic purchase! Before purchasing it, I heard a few guys praise it, so when I first bought it, I had high expectations and was prepared to discredit the majority of its claims. It is safe to say that after using this to clean five vehicles in my home, and a few household messes, this vacuum truly holds up. The ingenious design of this product makes it a great buy for all those on a budget who are looking for the best value for their money. If I had to say anything negative about the unit, it would be two This is 1. It is a bit inconvenience that there is not enough room in the trash collector for all of the attachments to be placed at once. Then I have to affix them to the top of the unit where they will look proud and impressive. The second paragraph. Sometimes, aligning and affixing the "clamps" connecting the top of the unit and the bottom trash collector can be a bit of a hassle. It's not a big deal, and it is pretty apparent when the two parts are not connected correctly, but each time I opened the unit, I took extra time to ensure that the two parts are connected properly. There are a few more gripes with this As a result, it proves how well designed it was. If I run into any problems, I will update this review as needed. However, for the time being, things are going exceptionally A RECENT UPDATE I have had this thing for 2 years and it STILL works perfectly. Even after a house renovation project, I have used it to clean up my home. I have used it not only for my car, but also for my house. It was an item that was well worth the purchase. I have found it to be invaluable over the past two.

There is no other way to put it
3/5

This machine is a disappointment.

After reading ALL of the reviews (one even claimed it could sucking a golf ball through the garden hose), I purchased it to clean up pet mess. Due to the fact that we have three cats, four dogs, as well as being foster parents for other rescues, we have quite a few pet 'issues'. Pets have peed on carpeted areas, so we use a powder mixture sprinkled on top of the stain to clean it up. Our upright vacuum got gross with the wet powder in the carpet, becoming clogged and needing to be washed on a daily basis. We wanted a powerful and small wet dry vacuum that would pick up the wet powder in the carpet efficiently. As you can see from the picture, this little w/d vacuum had barely any suction at all. It did not go over well with husband. A few reviews had said that he had connected the hose incorrectly, so he thought out loud that HE must have made the error. It seemed like something was missing or it was missing a piece. This is not the case though. The machine itself just isn't sufficient. We were able to pick up some of the wet powder with the small wand attachment, but no other attachment would pick it up. Here are some tips on getting sawdust out of cars, pellet residue and pet hair out of heaters. There is no way I can tell. It took us less than one minute to return, and we plan on finding another small wet dry vacuum to use.

Workhorse was great, but was too young to enjoy it
4/5

In January of this year, I purchased this device. As of January 2018, it became faulty. The little sucker isn't the best shop vac I've ever used by a long shot, but for the price, size, and convenience of carrying and storing this little guy, I find it The majority of the time, I use this for vacuuming my car on a weekly basis and cleaning dog hair from my furniture. My little vacuum finally died when I tried to vacuum up too much concrete dust at once and I think I may have overloaded it because it tripped my breaker, and nothing I do (replacing the filter, cleaning it all, etc etc) will make it start. When I owned my townhouse, it was great for my tiny space. I probably will buy a bigger one next time, but I was happy with the size of this one.

The vacuum cleaner is great
5/5

don't think anyone enjoys cleaning their cars with a vacuum. The vacuum cleaner I used before this product required me to go downtown to one of those car wash places and insert a box of quarters into the bulky machine. I've never had a pleasant experience with car wash vacuum cleaners since they always seem to come with large barely-visible items. A hose that is flexible, cumbersome, and equipped with an over-the-air valve It is ill-suited to wide nozzles This is the best way to clean the hard-to-reach places You can park your car in a lot of places. In other words, those (do not) stink! There is no way to clean the yard with a vacuum There is no way for it to work this way. Lightweight, the Armor All vacuum generates a lot of suction and is incredibly easy to use. There is a wide selection of different attachments included with it, and it is fast and accurate. Dry and wet cleaning can be done with this machine. Bags are not available for collection A small bag/filter that covers the motor intake prevents sand from damaging the engine. After you've completed the task, you remove the canister by popping the top, after which time you just fill it back up. If you'd like more filter bags, order them. (The bag is reusable and you can It is very important to have the bag on the motor or you will ruin the motor. It is a good idea to swap out the bag for a sponge when vacuuming liquids - For wet mode, there is a sort of wrap-around filter that surrounds the motor intake. It's a decent length power cord, but you will still need an outdoor extension cord to complete the setup.
