## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awkward, but a good vacuum
*by C***L on January 1, 2025*

We've had this shop vac for a year now and it has been a good work horse. It is large capacity yes, but this means it is bulky. I knew the size before we got it, but is truly is substantial for the price. It works well dry, we've not tried using for wet. The handle on top is great and is where the amply long cord neatly wraps around for storage. Wheels are a little higher than other brands and skates smooth enough. Attachments are useful, except the narrow flat one. We have lots of hair and cobwebs going on here and it gets caught on the louvers, so we don't use that one much. Otherwise, we are very happy with this Rigid shop vac purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TOUGH
*by J***E on January 30, 2025*

Nice heavy duty all purpose vacuum i use for everything

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good power, easy to assemble, good hose, second rate rigid tubes
*by B***N on May 28, 2022*
