Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Good:
- Small, lightweight
- Relatively inexpensive.
- Better than not having any shopvac.
Bad:
- "Quiet Series"? Compared to what--a KISS concert? I've used a lot of shopvacs in my day, this one isn't any quieter than any of other ones I've used. Using my sound meter, I measured 88 decibels at the end of the hose. A jackhammer is 90 decibels.
- The ring that secures the filter element to the motor housing frequently falls off. Once that happens, the room instantly looks like the scene inside a snow globe.
- During the first 10 seconds it is turned on, the motor whines and then stops. The problem is likely a bad bearing, so I don't expect this thing to last more than a year or two.
If I hadn't received this as a gift, it would have been promptly returned. I'm not likely to ever buy a ShopVac brand unit to replace it once it does die.
