Vacmaster VZA306P 1101 Shop Vac 3 Gallon Dry Vacuum Cleaner Bagged 1-1/4 Inch Hose

Overall great product; light-weight, yet very maneuverable. Great suction, yet relatively quiet operation. My only complaint is that the wand/extension and the hose connection are HORRIBLE. There's a really great connection scheme for the hose at the vac unit! Attachments fit the extensions great. But keeping the hose and the extensions is almost impossible. The hose ends with a curved nozzle that is supposed to fit snuggly inside either of the extensions...but they come loose at the slightest pressure! There is no way to keep these connected! Somebody designed all these other great connections and then left the issue of hose-to-extension connection to some silly slip-in concept with NOTHING to keep the nozzle affixed to the extension. And trying to vacuum a rug is almost impossible since these pieces continue to separate at the slightest bump. I'll keep the unit because of the other features and the very quiet operation. And I guess I'll have to wind some plumber's tape on the nozzle to keep it affixed to the extension...but VacMaster surely could have done a better job...this was obviously an area that wasn't even an afterthought!

like the wind up cord no need to pull out does itself , suction is good , better than expected - smaller footprint with wheels easy to operate especially in tight spaces that are auto related .
