AA255W 2.5 Gal 2 Peak HP Wet/Dry Utility Vac Orange/Black

This is a great wet vac for someone who is looking for a relatively small, powerful wet/dry vac! It is compact, comes with a whole host of attachments, and features a roller bottom to make it easy to move the vac from space to space. (If you choose not to attach the wheels, that is also an option, as you scre the bottom onto the unit) I work with glass, and I frequently have tiny pieces of glass on the floor and all over my work table. Given the number of tools, etc., on my table, it is very hard to move them all each night to sweep the shards up. Using this vac, I can get each and every shard without moving any of my tools or glass rods. It is very powerful, but I can direct the vacuum into the smallest crevices by simply putting my hand over the larger pieces I don't want vacuumed up. I think that this is an excellent value, and so far, I could not be happier! I looked for a shop vac that specifically said glass, and I am so pleased that it does its job, is relatively quiet, and while I've only had it a short time, it feels as if it will be durable.

I purchased this for casual car cleaning and detailing in my garage, along with other related cleaning. It's hard to say a bad word about it, especially for the price. I find it to be the perfect size for this type of use. The larger options are harder to store, and I don't believe I'd ever be filling them up for typical home use. The little handheld battery-powered options (of which I have a well-reviewed version) are never powerful enough. This Armor All 2.5 gallon sits perfectly in between the two. Power is not an issue and suction is stronger than I expected for a small, affordable unit. It's lightweight enough to carry around when you need to and compact enough to move around and store easily if you're limited on space, plus the wheels roll well (so far). The noise level isn't quiet but also not obnoxious like some of the larger units. It's wet/dry capable, which can always come in handy, and while it doesn't feel rugged or heavy duty, it also doesn't feel cheap. If I have to be a stickler for details, I'd say the attachment selection is solid for a variety of spaces and materials, but the ones designed for tight crevices and spaces (between seats, for example), aren't really narrow or long enough to fit in some of those spaces, which is a bummer. The lid attachment also isn't super tight and snug, but I didn't notice any issues while using the vacuum. Lastly, the cord length could always be longer, as you'll almost certainly need an extension cord for moving around all sides of a vehicle. None of these critiques were significant enough to remove a star from the rating, though, as I'm happy with the purchase and performance for the price.

Bought a second Armor All shop vac from the already opened section without wheels at a great price. Having one on each floor is super helpful. Accessibility saves time for a quick suck, and each serves a different purpose. Without wheels makes storage easier. Having extra interchangeable parts from my first purchase makes adding an arm extension easy without requiring expense and a second wheeled unit. Owning an original Shop Vac, regular vacuum, plus a Dirt Devil mini made me crave a different model that could do it all but not fell short on ability. Be light, hold more for large continuous cleanings, but not be so big or awkward navigating certain projects. Like the stair case. Or clean up after a Reno project of a vintage property. Caring for a feral community within an indoor cardio during their journey from TNR to touch and purr. Having the wheels and elongated extension serves us very well in many projects. A second unit able to store in the Catio closet is a game changer. Quick clean access is more motivating and less distracting, for me. Compared to the dirt devil in longevity, filter, and ability to manage not only cat needs but German Shepherd seasonal nick name Sheds a Lot one and done job. Rather than multiple attempts with a refuse collector. Though all our other style vacuums have served us well over the years prior to this property. The size of this vintage house and design from the turn of the century in 1900 includes an attic, full size basement including a workshop, and two floors with lots of rooms. Having cleaning tools like a broom and pan on each floor and vacuum options that manage the task at hand per floor are key to our household cleaning strategy. This medium sized powerhouse with its versatility and extensions plus washable and replaceable filter system is my favorite compared to all other units. Not only for size and ability but overall cost compared the larger regular size shop vac. Replacement filters add up. Tossing collection bags over time add up in cost. This little beast is easy to dump into a receptacle. Rinse the filter. Sure, maybe itty bitty particles get through. Justifying the replacement filter expense long term and the waste they create even with a sub and save discount is not worth the cost, imo. This unit comes with a dust cover collector and mesh sponge like filter. Find these adequate. We have experienced zero dust problems during use. While empty wrap the trash bag around the container. Dump. Wait a few moments for the dust to settle. Close the bag. No problems for us. Hope this review update is helpful. If you visit the opened, return, and damage box section could save a little extra. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😁 /\ update Beyond impressed. For half a dozen years have used a repurposed shop vac from Goodwill that has been exceptional for $25. It still works. The only thing I’d wished was different is maneuverability. It’s bulky and in an ideal world a smaller machine as capable was a wish. Here we are. Brilliant lil’ machine. What wows me, everything. Plentiful attachments cover both wet and dry. The two filter covers. Easy to clean and reuse. Way better than the shop vac that requires a big expensive filter replacement to maintain. Right here this lil’ buddy pays for itself in less replacement filters for shop vac. The down side on dry, this doesn’t use a bag. So be aware, careful to not breath in dust or where a mask when emptying. And, do outside so as to maintain your home. As dust might disperse everywhere when dumped. The wheels. It comes with screws. To secure the wheels to the vacuum. But could go without and on wheels when on the floor moving around. For people thinking attachments are missing, open the vacuum compartment. The hose and a few extras are inside. The guide is very detailed. Helpful. Advise reading to know how to do the wet verses dry options for appropriate use. Someone mentioned the power cord is short. It’s perfect for a room. But, using your extension cord for jobs like in my basement where there’s only two outlets is helpful. Or, if using this in my Jeep would need an extension from the outlet to help offer length. The variety of head options for diversity is wonderful. A couple of detail options with brushes will help. Like, if you have small spaces to clean of dust or debris. Very excited to have this device to help with a vintage property during renovations. Making vacuuming easier in awkward spaces. Like steps. Basement under stairs, etc. Listed on the vacuum is the initials for replacement filters if needed. What’s provided vibe durable and washable. Lots of uses available of a consistent user, like myself. Do I think $59 is worth it? YES. After six years using the most recognizable brand having searched for many years for a second option that’s portable, this is it. I’ve tried the Dirt Devil. Vacuum. The stand up type. In comparison this vac with the long hose will demand better results that the DS and less dealing with that devices small dust compartment. Very happy with this purchase for our needs at this price. With wood floors and a German Shepherd am excited to have better help maintaining floors and helping with renovations. Another plus, the hose is so long and multiple options for nozzles will have an easy time cleaning the exposed basement ceiling. If you’re looking for a multipurpose vac that can tackle tasks in the shop, kitchen, garage, basement, and many others like pet hair to vehicle’s like Jeeps and other utility vehicles this could be your win. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

Amazing little vac. Besides being compact and light, the suction is greater than I thought it would be. Bought it for cleaning up at work but just used on my car and the small area tools reach everything. The only tiny vac I could find that has a wand and wheels. Cord length is generous. Hose not very flexible but OK. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Honest review here: I’m very impressed with this 12 gallon DeWalt shop vac. It is very well made unlike many other shop vac’s out there. I owned both a craftsman and Stealth. Both of those don’t compare with this one. I returned the Stealth last week and gave my Craftsman away. The craftsman is definitely not made well anymore! At least DeWalt kept the same quality for 50 years unlike the other brands! This unit is very nice. It is medium to heavy at 25 lbs but with the wheels on it, it is very lite to roll around. The build quality is very good. The hose is very big and strong at 7 feet long. The HEPA filter is very large with good quality. The wheels are very sturdy and strong. They swivel 360 degrees without any issues at all even with 12 gallons of water in it. The wheels are made very well and will not break or wear out. The attachments are also made very well. They fit perfectly on the hose and extension tubes. What I like the most about this shop vac is that when you attach the extension tubes and attachment you hear no air sounds leaking in. All other shop vac’s have an air leaking problem. The motor is exactly 5.5 HP Peak. Others list their’s at 5.5 HP peak but in fact they are not that high. You are lucky to get 4.5 HP from them. The motor is not loud at all. I added a diffuser to my shop vac which cuts down on the noise and air exhaust air flow. This really helps. See pictures! The attachment bag/basket is awesome!! It holds everything plus the 2 extra attachments that I bought in addition to what comes with this shop vac. The hose strap is simply the best. I secure the hose tightly to the machine. The power cord wrap around the handle was genius. Everything about this shop vac is A+++++++ in my book. I highly recommend this to anyone! Must buy!!! I got a great deal on it as Amazon priced this as 30 day lowest price. They beat all the big box stores pricing. I hope my review helps your decision in what shop vac to buy. I bought this unit based on the high reviews so reviews do help in more ways than one.

This utility vacuum is worth every penny. We are always finding more reasons to grab it instead of our high-end upright vacuum cleaner because it's so convenient and efficient. And, of course, when it comes to vacuuming anything wet it's our go-to solution. We had a plumbing leak that soaked about half of the carpet in one of our bedrooms. The Armor All vac was so effective that we were able to save the carpet, and it pulled so much dirt out of the carpet that our regular vacuum must have been missing that the carpet looked like it had been shampooed! We used it to suction out the discharge pipe from our air conditioner and the amount we saved from not having to call a plumber paid for the vacuum at least twice over. The cord length is generous, the attachments are well-designed, and the noise level is lower than our upright vac's. We use the blower to get rid of leaves and cobwebs on our front steps and back porch. Totally satisfied, and I'd gladly recommend it to friends and family.

I live in an apartment complex and rent out a garage that is enough space for only one car. I’ve ordered a lot of different portable vacuums ranging from the handheld ones, battery powered ones, and the ones you plug into the car’s charging port. This is by far the best mini vacuum I have ever purchased! It’s just the right size for me to roll it around the garage without it being cramped. The cord length is long enough for me to roll it to both sides of my car and it isn’t too loud. And it’s also perfect for storing in my utility closet! The suction is great and it comes with a blower option. It also comes with many different head tools to get into the nick and cranny spaces. 10/10 would recommend!

I am genuinely in love with this little beast. I live in a sandy area where grit gets into everything, and over the years I've watched sand destroy multiple vacuums, including a Dyson that didn't make it six months before the fine particles chewed through its internals. This shop vac? Unfazed. Now my routine is dead simple: sweep the sand into piles, fire this thing up, and suck it all clean. No fuss, no clogs, no grinding death rattles. It handles the sand like it's nothing. And the dog hair: I've got three heavy shedders, and this vac makes quick work of it on both hardwood and vinyl. Doesn't scatter it around like some vacuums do. Just gone. What I love: Strong suction — The 2 Peak HP is no joke. It pulls up debris you'd expect to need a full-size unit for. Perfect size — The 2.5-gallon tank hits the sweet spot. Big enough to handle a whole room of mess, small enough to carry one-handed up stairs or toss in the trunk. The wheel-base and top handle make it genuinely portable. Blower function — Flick the hose to the other port and suddenly you're clearing leaves off the driveway or blasting sand out of the garage. Takes seconds to convert. Storage that makes sense —The hose wraps onto the body, the cord tucks away, and the nozzles clip right on. Everything stays together instead of disappearing into the black hole of the garage. 13 accessories included — Three extension wands, crevice tool, blower nozzle adapter, deluxe car nozzle, round dust brush, detail brush, 2-in-1 utility nozzle, floor brush/squeegee nozzle, plus both a reusable cloth filter and a foam wet filter. You're not nickel-and-dimed buying extras. The 12-ft cord and 6-ft hose give you decent reach without constantly hunting for a new outlet. Bottom line: If sand, pet hair, or general debris has been murdering your household vacuums, get this. It's tough, simple, and does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended, and I haven’t even tried it in my car yet..

This little wet/dry vac is awesome! It is light weight, small so it's easy to store but powerful. I use it to vacuum out my exhaust vents and ERV unit. It comes with lots of attachments and a long power cord and hose. When I use it up on a ladder I take it off the wheeled base but the base with the casters makes it easy to move around my apartment. I am really impressed with this little machine!

Very happy

I'm pleased with this vacuum. It isn't large but has great suction. Unlike most vacuums I looked at it actually has a range of attachments-a huge plus.It has the narrow crack attachment, a round and rectangular brush attachment. There is also a small brush attachment that is awesome for getting into small spots around monitors etc.There is a flatish one for the floor and lastly there is an attachment for picking up liquids. Five of them have a spot on the vacuum for easy reach. The three extensions also have a spot on the vacuum. I put it together in about 5 minutes and finished the job I bought it for quickly. Obviously I just got it but I would recommend it if you are looking for something for regular household jobs that is reasonably priced and actually has attachments. Most vacuums I checked had one attachment and so you can add another 30$ and up for attachments if you need them. It's also pretty light and with the rear wheels it's moves easily.

Tengo menos de 6 meses con esta aspiradora y de repente ya no enciende sin importar a qué conexión en la casa lo ponga. Su soporte técnico es pésimo y me mandaron con otra empresa la cual para colmo está inglés, no lo recomiendo si es a todos les va a fallar igual.

An absolutely fantastic machine for its size and power. Incredibly happy with the results of all the demands I placed on the unit to do a brilliant job of clean up. I would HIGHLY recommend this vacuum for anyone who has a small living residence or for cleaning their vehicles. Exceptionally well built, easy to operate, and easy to tuck away until you need it again. Everything 'locked n loaded' and ready to go to work. Accessories, another brilliant asset.
