A powerful, affordable vac!
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.

The Sand-Slayer (Great for dog hair too)
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..

Best Mini Vacuum I Have Ever Purchased
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!

Works pretty well.
Works pretty well, for the most part. It would be nice if the top fit on a little better though. Sometimes when you are carrying it with the handle while using it the top separates from the bottom enough, and you lose suction at the hose. I use the attachment that looks like the the vacuums at the car washes the most, glad this set has that attachment. Suction seems good for how small the unit is. Gotta clean the filter bag a lot though, that gets clogged up pretty quick. Replacement filters are cheap.

Very pleased 🏆
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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

Buy this to keep your car cleaner!
This is a great little vacuum for your car. Several smaller tools to get in every crevice and vent plus larger ones for your floor mats and carpet. Wasn’t overly noisy, didn’t have to wear ear plugs like I have with other small vacs. Light to carry and a decently long cord. Reasonably priced too.

Best engineered utility vacuum EVER
I bought 4 different vacuums over 7 days and took them all back immediately after I turned checked them out at home. Didn't have to even use them to see they were not up to my standards. Suffice it to say, I shopped hard for the right unit and this one would get 10 stars if they let me. The others were clunky, or didn't have the right tools, or the hoses were designed for their tools only. This Armor All has more tools than you need plus the hoses are sized to fit most of the leftover tools I have collected over the years from brands like Craftsman. The engineering is off the charts badass and you see it from the moment you open the box. It is perfectly packed to avoid waste and space. The unit itself is compact but powerful enough for any household or garage cleanup and the exhaust has a diffuser that blows only half of what other vacs put out their tail end. The tool holders are molded onto the unit, not some flimsy attachment that falls of easily. Even the hose winds up and attaches around the unit for compact storage. The base rolls and turns easily around floors. It is solidly built and a great vaIue. I was excited about a wet/dry vac, that says it all! PS - I read reviews here that said the pressure was poor. They either received a bad unit or they have commercial needs. For typical household needs this model works just fine.

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT
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.

It really sucks.... in a good way!
Just got this little vacuum and was super easy to assemble. I read the instructions to ensure I had it correct, turned it on and was impressed how powerful it was for its size. It will lift small area carpets. I just did some areas around my kitchen, next the car. I like that you can reuse the filter by simply washing it. I doubt I'll use it for anything wet but ya never know, so it's good to have. Glad with this purchase. Now the test will be .... how long will it last? I will update if I come across any issues.

Ya no enciende
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.

Bon petit aspirateur d’atelier, pratique et compact
Il fait bien le job pour les petits nettoyages, que ce soit de la poussière ou des liquides. Les accessoires inclus sont utiles, et le format est facile à transporter et à ranger. Par contre, je trouve qu’il manque un peu de puissance, surtout pour aspirer des saletés plus lourdes ou incrustées. Pour un usage léger, il est nickel, mais si vous cherchez quelque chose de vraiment puissant, il faudra peut-être regarder un modèle au-dessus.
