Vacmaster Professional VDK811PW 0201 8 Gal Wet/Dry Vac Self-Cleaning Filter

This Vac has saved my life in cleaning up messes around the house. But my observation is more of the fact of how much dust and soot are found. The replacement bags I bought aren't as tough as the one it came with, the first replacement bag tore at the neck on first use. I try to reused the bags until they can't be used any longer. The original lasted a few months. Great vac, powerful and the long hose is nice. The electrical cord could be a bit longer but not a big deal. Everyone should own one of these as standard vacs don't do the job. Buy it.

This vacuum has performed well so far. We have had it for a few months now. It has good suction and air volume. Maybe a little much if you are connecting it to a drywall sander, but awesome for cleaning. This is the second VAC Master I've used and both have been similar size and performed well.

I did a lot of research before actually buying a wet/dry vac. This one was perfect. So easy to use and it has a great length of cord and the wheels make it so easy to move. And so many attachments for everything! Works great! I love this! So easy to use!! Really surprised how great this works. Def worth the money!! Have used several times and was so easy to use!! Would definitely recommend. It's built well and does not feel cheap!!

I really don't know what to compare this to because I grew up having a big industrial shop vac because that's just the kind of guy my dad was. The size is great for if you're in an apartment. I was able to just to store mine in my walk-in closet. I had to make a little bit of room but it was doable. And I'm just keeping the attachments in an extra drawer I have around the house. So that worked out. I really doubt that I'm going to ever use it for the wet vac part. But you never know. I just don't think that the wet dry feature is very convenient. Because before you can clean up a wet mess you've got to get the vacuum out. Take the top off. Do the filter for the wet... It's just not convenient to switch between the two. I haven't had very many vacuums in my lifetime because I've always had wood floors. But now I have some area rugs and for the most part I use my robot vacuum. She's great for sand and dust and other things that just build up underneath the bed and everything else. But there's just some things that a robot vacuum can't get. So it was time for me to get a vacuum for occasional deep vacuuming or larger messes. I did a quick test. Her suction seems really good. I really wanted to get her up on the AC vent panel up in the ceiling. Because it was just filled with dust on the grill part. And she did a really good job it's sucking all that nasty stuff off that grill. So I'm impressed. I even think she might have got some of the stuff out of the filter in there LOL. They say that good suction on a vacuum is between 80 and 120 and this is 84. So it's absolutely on the lower end. But for regular home use, or until I can afford the best of the best, I don't think this was a bad purchase. My only real complaint? The length of the cord is ridiculously short. And I also think that it needed another extension piece for doing stand-up vacuuming of the floor. I have to hunch over. I'm not a short woman. Even at 5 7 I feel like this thing needs a third extension piece so that we don't have to be hunched over vacuuming the floor. I don't know if you can buy an extension for this thing but I'm going to have to look and see. The bag was confusing at first because I'm not used to this. Any vacuums I've ever had in the past were canister vacuums so you didn't need a bag. I don't really think you need a bag with this thing either but if it helps prevent dust then it's probably worth it to get. Probably will also make cleaning out the canister easuer, too. Oh, and I spoke to soon, because I forgot that another pet peeve of mine with this thing already is the front wheels. They do not rotate and spin very well so this thing is very hard to guide in the direction you want it to go. That's frustrating! Having to clean is annoying enough. Having your vacuum work against you while you're trying to move around an area is even worse. So I'm definitely going to have to look for extension cord (like the big long orange ones). And I'm definitely going to have to see if I can get an extension for the hose so I don't have to be hunched over to vacuum my floors. For now that's pretty much all I can say about it. I literally bought it today and I probably tested it out on a 3X3 area of carpet and did the air conditioning vent in the ceiling (the big large grate area where your AC filter goes).

Nice medium size wet/dry vacuum. Excellent suction and easy to roll around in the basement. Not too heavy and nice long hose. Handy attachment caddy on the wheel base.

This utility vacuum is great. It has a very large capacity tank, it’s suction is powerful, and it has all kinds of attachments. I have not tried it as a blower yet, but if that function works as well as the suction then it was worth the money.

Great suction without excessive noise. Generous cord length and functional accessories. Exceptional value.

I'm 61 years old, and this is probably the best shop vac I've ever had. It has simply great suction, it's incredibly quiet for a shop vac, comes with pretty much all the attachments you need. For the price I really don't see another one being better, unless you want something bigger. Awesome suction, good width of hose - I sucked up one of those catnip mice by accident and it didn't flinch, just sucked it up into the canister lol. No complaints at all with this, I got the 6 gallon one, perfect size for me. Big but not too big. Handles easily around the house.
