First, the wet/dry vac I ordered is a used one.
So, some of the comments are given in that light.
With that said, the only problem I had with the product upon inspection was the lack of screws for the handle.
But that was no problem.
No special screws are required. So, using the spare ones I have on hand worked fine.
In case you are thinking that a regular vacuum is as good as a shop vac. Let me clear that up now.
Shop vacs are loud.
This one is very loud. I use earplugs when I run this vacuum.
I suggest you do the same.
Holding the hose/extension combo takes a little getting used to.
The extensions come off the hose easily.
Use two hands, one for the hose and the other for the extension.
This issue is something that the manufacturer can fix by twist-locking the extensions and the hose.
If used on a carpet, use a one-way pulling motion.
Sweeping does not work well.
There is no floor attachment or carpet attachment.
But there is a car attachment that you can use for the floor.
About The Vacuum
The suction is good. I had no problems picking up debris of various sizes.
The vacuum is lightweight.
This shop vac rides on wheels that make moving it a breeze.
The assembly is quick and easy.
And the instructions are easy to follow.
The vacuum has two filters, one standard and the other for fine particles like dust.
There is one last distinction between this shop vac and a standard vacuum cleaner. You cannot pick up liquids with a standard vacuum cleaner.
Conclusion
Whether new or used, this is a good product. But it could use some tweaks.
