ProluxProfessional Shop White Wall Mounted Garage Vac, Wet Dry Pick Up

I spent a considerable amount of time reviewing similiar products before choosing to buy a Prolux. The ability of this machine to handle wet as well as dry is paramount. Similiar products are just as expensive but are only made to accomodate dry debris. Also consider the fact that the filters are easily removable and washable! I have ruined enough shop vac filters over the years to immediately understand the benefit of this design. Power! Plenty of suction and a good aray of tools. The crevice tool is a MUST if you ever plan on removing hard to reach debris, especially between seats and center consoles. The lighted display tells you when there is a blockage as well as if the canister is full when vacuuming liquid. It's a simple straight forward machine that is fairly attractive on the wall amid my other car detailing equipment.I use this vacuum at least 4 times a week as I have 2 small boys, a new car, an old truck, a boat that is constantly dirty, and a riding mower. (Yes, the vacuum is great for cleaning off the mowing deck, and it doesn't matter if the clippings are wet). One more nice feature: BLOWER! If you have bought your kids inflateable pools before, you know how fun it is inflating them. Super easy with the vac, especially because I can inflate their pool in place thanks to the long hose. I would happily recommend this vacuum to anyone with kids, likes to detail cars, or is simply tired of having to drag around a corded vac. Oh, and we mounted ours right outside the door to the garage, so we can use it on the landing and stairs in the house as well. Great for rainy days, and coming home from the beach. Thanks

I purchased this because I wanted a convenient way to vacuum my garage and my back patio easily without dragging out the big shop vac. I'll be honest, I did not really expect it to work as well as it did. I live in West Texas and a thick layer of dust and dirt on everything is the norm. I mounted this in my garage near the door to my patio and the 30' hose reaches my entire patio and does an incredible job on my patio furniture and cushions. The cushions are large and heavy, and this vacuum has so much suction power it will pick them up. I have to use the brush attachment to cut the suction enough that I can easily move the head across the cushions. (That's a good thing) I can easily knock the task of cleaning my patio out in minutes (instead of an hour with my old shop vac). It can also be easily switched to a blower if I need to blow the leaves out of my garage. I am beyond happy with this vacuum!

I own a high end auto detail shop and mobile operation. After going through many vacuums I could not be happier with this purchase. When I charge close to a grand per detail I want to make sure I am using the best equipment possible. This means that I want my clients to know that I did not just go to a big box store to purchase my equipment.The vacuum not only looks sexy but is one of the best I have used to date. The instructions are very clear and all of the hardware needed to mount is included. It tells you when you need to replace the filter and when it is ready to empty if you are sucking up liquids. The 30+ foot hose is a big plus as it can reach most shops or garages. I was amazed it came with so many useful attachments. I feel like this vacuum had the detailer or auto enthusiast in mind. If the filter is dirty you can wash the filter which is a big plus as you save money down the road. Most of the filters from the competition are close to $50 and start to deteriorate if you try to clean them too many times.The performance of the machine is great for having such a long hose. I accidentally sucked a quarter the first time I used it and it went in the waste canister with great speed. It is very easy to clean as it only takes two levers to loosen up the waste slot. I do a few cars a day and it is still running like a champ. I will update my review if anything changes. So far I have converted a few detailer buddies to them as they are well worth the price. I've owned vacuums at a higher price and I have honestly felt like they have never delivered. This vacuum is priced at a very awesome price for everything you get with it. Highly recommend it.UPDATE 3/10/15Been meaning to post an update as it has been a year or so. The vacuum is....to say the least...holding up great! It is still on the first filter as I have been washing the outer sock cover and have not had to use the backup filter yet. I have beat this vacuum up as it rides in the bouncy work truck. Only thing as far as exterior is that the plastic is starting to yellow a bit. I'm guessing it might be because it gets sun beat a lot. The attachments have surprisingly held up as I mainly use three of the supplied tools. other than that this vacuum is alive and well after a year. This means a lot since I was burning through 2-3 vacuums a year from the big box stores. I'll be moving into a new shop soon so I'll be buying two more units.

This vacuum is solid and has a great amount of suction. It would be 5 stars except a few minor things. First I personally do not like the curved end of the hose. It gets in can get in the way in the close confines of a car interior. The curved handle also creates more fatigue when using as it takes a greater amount of force to move the attachment across the surface from so far away. The attachment organizer is also on the flimsy side and definitely won't last long in a full time detail shop. The unit is however quiet and has great suction. We had been using two Ridgid shop vacs, one 4.5 hp and the other 6.5 hp and the Prolux outperformed them both. I would not hesitate to purchase this unit again.
