Armor All VBV809 0901 8-Gallon 4.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vacuum with Detachable Blower, Orange

Amazing!!! Strong suction! I was going to buy a handheld one for the same price but glad I went with this one. If you don’t mind having to connect it and are looking for a super easy to use vacuum for your car, this one is great! First thing I thought when it started picking everything up was, “Wow! Just like at the car wash” lol. The huge plus are the attachments. There is one for everything and they all came in handy my first use. Poor car 😆.The vacuum also has blowing capabilities and can pick up liquids as long as you use the provided filter, which is easy to install. That’s pretty awesome. The power cord is a good length as well which makes it even easier to use. As for the noise. I’d say it’s as loud or maybe a little louder than a household upright vacuum. The hose is a good length as well and it comes with extension attachments too. Overall I’m glad I went with this instead of the handheld battery ones. This one sucks everything up from all dust, debris, receipts, bottle caps, coins, small toys, anything that can fit in there AND they don’t get stuck because the suction is a good strength!- easy to use- strong suction- maneuverable- attachments for all needs- easy to clean

This thing SUCKS! I wouldn't doubt that it could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.OK enough jokes. This vacuum is pretty frigging good. It has quite a bit of suction power, even with the attachments. I use it to vacuum my cars and it does a GREAT job! For starters, the electrical cord is about 10 feet, which is nice. Though for most applications, you'll likely still need an extension cord.The suction power is pretty impressive. And it's not much louder than your normal vacuum. It's not blaringly loud, but at the same time it's not whisper quiet.The vacuum hose is adequately long at about 6 feet. Even better, the end of the hose rotates. This makes using it with attachments so much easier as you don't kink the hose as easily.Speaking of attachments, it comes with everything most will need for simple cleaning. It should be said that there is no extension tube as many other vacuums have. That seems to be the only attachment missing.The vacuum does well with a mix of wet and dry vacuuming. I was able to vacuum up sand on a carpet, followed by standing water, then back to a sandy carpet. It also did a thick wet mixture quite well.The collection bucket holds quite a large amount while still being easy to handle. You can carry the unit around while vacuuming, but I'm sure most will set it down before vacuuming. If you're the type to place the unit on the ground before vacuuming, know that it does NOT slide well on the ground. You can give it tugs to drag it along, but know that it's going to give a bit of resistance throughout the process.In short, this was a great buy! I heard a few guys praising it prior to my purchase, so when I initially purchased this, I had high hopes and was ready to discredit most of its workings. I can honestly say that after using this to clean 5 vehicles, and a few household messes, this vacuum holds its own exceptionally well. This is definitely a winner and a great buy, especially for the budget minded who wants to get the best bang for their buck.If I have to mention something negative about the unit, it would be 2 things.1. I don't like that there isn't enough room to dump all the attachments inside the trash collector of the unit when not in use. Instead, I have to affix them to the top of the unit where they stand tall and proud.2. The "clamps" connecting the top of the unit and bottom trash collector can sometimes be a bit annoying to align and affix together. Not a big deal, and it's pretty obvious when it's not connected correctly, but every time I opened the unit, I felt myself really taking my time to ensure the two parts were correctly connected.Again small gripes with the unit. This just shows how well it was designed.As usual, if I run into any problems, I will update this review accordingly. But as of right now, things are going extremely well.UPDATE: After 2 years, this thing STILL runs like a champ. I don't only use it for my car, but I've also used it to clean up inside my home as well, even after light construction projects. This was truly an item worth buying. It's been invaluable over the past 2 years.

Bought a second Armor All shop vac from the already opened section without wheels at a great price. Having one on each floor is super helpful. Accessibility saves time for a quick suck, and each serves a different purpose. Without wheels makes storage easier. Having extra interchangeable parts from my first purchase makes adding an arm extension easy without requiring expense and a second wheeled unit.Owning an original Shop Vac, regular vacuum, plus a Dirt Devil mini made me crave a different model that could do it all but not fell short on ability. Be light, hold more for large continuous cleanings, but not be so big or awkward navigating certain projects. Like the stair case. Or clean up after a Reno project of a vintage property. Caring for a feral community within an indoor cardio during their journey from TNR to touch and purr.Having the wheels and elongated extension serves us very well in many projects. A second unit able to store in the Catio closet is a game changer. Quick clean access is more motivating and less distracting, for me. Compared to the dirt devil in longevity, filter, and ability to manage not only cat needs but German Shepherd seasonal nick name Sheds a Lot one and done job. Rather than multiple attempts with a refuse collector.Though all our other style vacuums have served us well over the years prior to this property. The size of this vintage house and design from the turn of the century in 1900 includes an attic, full size basement including a workshop, and two floors with lots of rooms. Having cleaning tools like a broom and pan on each floor and vacuum options that manage the task at hand per floor are key to our household cleaning strategy.This medium sized powerhouse with its versatility and extensions plus washable and replaceable filter system is my favorite compared to all other units. Not only for size and ability but overall cost compared the larger regular size shop vac.Replacement filters add up. Tossing collection bags over time add up in cost. This little beast is easy to dump into a receptacle. Rinse the filter. Sure, maybe itty bitty particles get through. Justifying the replacement filter expense long term and the waste they create even with a sub and save discount is not worth the cost, imo.This unit comes with a dust cover collector and mesh sponge like filter. Find these adequate. We have experienced zero dust problems during use. While empty wrap the trash bag around the container. Dump. Wait a few moments for the dust to settle. Close the bag. No problems for us.Hope this review update is helpful. If you visit the opened, return, and damage box section could save a little extra.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😁/\ updateBeyond impressed. For half a dozen years have used a repurposed shop vac from Goodwill that has been exceptional for $25. It still works. The only thing I’d wished was different is maneuverability. It’s bulky and in an ideal world a smaller machine as capable was a wish.Here we are. Brilliant lil’ machine.What wows me, everything.Plentiful attachments cover both wet and dry.The two filter covers. Easy to clean and reuse. Way better than the shop vac that requires a big expensive filter replacement to maintain. Right here this lil’ buddy pays for itself in less replacement filters for shop vac.The down side on dry, this doesn’t use a bag. So be aware, careful to not breath in dust or where a mask when emptying. And, do outside so as to maintain your home. As dust might disperse everywhere when dumped.The wheels. It comes with screws. To secure the wheels to the vacuum. But could go without and on wheels when on the floor moving around.For people thinking attachments are missing, open the vacuum compartment. The hose and a few extras are inside.The guide is very detailed. Helpful. Advise reading to know how to do the wet verses dry options for appropriate use.Someone mentioned the power cord is short. It’s perfect for a room. But, using your extension cord for jobs like in my basement where there’s only two outlets is helpful. Or, if using this in my Jeep would need an extension from the outlet to help offer length.The variety of head options for diversity is wonderful. A couple of detail options with brushes will help. Like, if you have small spaces to clean of dust or debris.Very excited to have this device to help with a vintage property during renovations. Making vacuuming easier in awkward spaces. Like steps. Basement under stairs, etc.Listed on the vacuum is the initials for replacement filters if needed.What’s provided vibe durable and washable. Lots of uses available of a consistent user, like myself.Do I think $59 is worth it? YES. After six years using the most recognizable brand having searched for many years for a second option that’s portable, this is it.I’ve tried the Dirt Devil. Vacuum. The stand up type. In comparison this vac with the long hose will demand better results that the DS and less dealing with that devices small dust compartment.Very happy with this purchase for our needs at this price.With wood floors and a German Shepherd am excited to have better help maintaining floors and helping with renovations.Another plus, the hose is so long and multiple options for nozzles will have an easy time cleaning the exposed basement ceiling.If you’re looking for a multipurpose vac that can tackle tasks in the shop, kitchen, garage, basement, and many others like pet hair to vehicle’s like Jeeps and other utility vehicles this could be your win.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

Easy to assemble and easy-to-use. It's small, compact and lightweight so easy to carry. It's got great, strong suction power.The only thing I didn't like is the short power cord (reason for 4 star rating and not a 5). I had to use a extension cord to get around my car. The instruction manual does provide information on which type of extension cords to use for safety reasons.Highly recommend if you want a small, powerful and lightweight wet/dry vacuum with a variety of attachments to use.
