Right size but way underpowered. Should have at least a 4 hp motor on it to be any good.

I love the lite weight of the Vacuum, and the use of the battery and/or electrical cord. This is ideal for the car cleaning.

Surprisingly good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the vacuum to use with my pellet smoker for clearing out ash and clean outs for which it is excellent, cleans out the grill perfectly without any issues and doesn't get clogged - makes a dirty job easy and clean No noticeable power difference between battery or mains power, so I tend to use it 100% on battery. Is also useful to have around for vacuuming the car and any other unscheduled spillages!

    Excellent Vacuum (If you require battery powered)
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this in June of 2018, and it has seen many years of hard use at both work and home. I highly recommend this for someone that needs a portable shop vac that is capable of running on battery power. If you do not need the portability of a battery powered vac, please buy a real full sized shop vacuum as the con's of a portable shop vac are exactly what makes it portable. Because the tank and filter are so small, you need to empty it and clean the filter frequently during a job, and I also recommend washing the filter between especially dirty jobs or you will have weak suction power. With this basic maintenance, the vacuum remains plenty powerful for most jobs with one caveat. For maximum suction power, you will need to use 20V MAX battery packs 3.0 amp hour or higher, or have the vacuum plugged into an AC outlet. I've tried it with my 20V MAX XR 2.0 amp hour battery packs and they can't keep up with the power draw and you almost immediately drop to weak suction power. The 3.0 amp hour and higher 20V MAX packs do not have this problem, and suction power remains strong until about 1 LED is left lit on the battery.

      Purchased in 2021 Love It
      After 2 yrs use for home and car clean-ups, my rating is going from 4 to 5 stars. Though my original comments were valid, 4 stars was too low for how well this portable vac does its job, plus my original filter still works as well as when new, but cleans up much more easily than any other filter I’ve ever owned. A light brushing with a small paintbrush dislodges dry dirt so it falls out easily with a few filter taps. The combination of effective function and easy cleanup truly deserves 5 stars.

        lack of suction power
        recently received this tool for work , but it doesn't have the power to perform with battery power or commercial power . looking for something compact yet with power to do the job . had to bring a small shop vacuum and use an inverter to power it to complete job , need a solution for better suction .

          The is vaccum is compact and easy to use, the power however seems far less than it was when I used it for my work 7 years ago. The hepa filter seems like a smaller unit than I remember, but I'm old and could be remembering incorrectly. I would recommend it though as it is very convenient.
