Huzbum: It sucks hard and doesn't smell or kick up dust. It's also easy to wheel around. For once I can vacuum without sneezing.

The attachments are pretty meh, but it produces a lot of suction and seems to do a good job of filtering the air too.

Donna D.: This is a very nice shop vac. It has great suction, the hose and power cords are nice and long. It is very awkward and heavy though. I'm a five foot tall female and the cord gets caught under the wheels and it can't be pulled easily behind you without tipping over. My sons or my husband have to carry it up and down the stairs for me because it's very heavy. It works great otherwise.

D. RossD. Ross: UPDATE: 3/25/22- I'm raising the rating to 3, not because the new filter fit (it did not) but due to the great service I have received from this company. I call, and they respond. Unfortunately, despite myself and them verifying which filter should be in this cleaner, the sent out the same thing that I already had. So I looked at it, took more measurements, and decided that by carefully cutting the thick gasket down, the HEPA filter will still seal and also provide height reduction to allow the stud to catch the retaining bolt, thus drawing it snug. It worked! Keep in mind though, a HEPA filter install requires that the cage be removed and the bolt taped into place, otherwise you will need to hold the heavy motor over your head to keep it all in place and be able to see what you're doing. That's it, a good cleaner with a frustrating HEPA filter but worth a hundred bucks.

UPDATE: 3/19/22- The new cage arrived, however, once assembled, the HEPA filter simply does not fit it! The stud which is supposed to mount between the bottom, inside of the cage, up into the bottom of the filter via a small hole. I screwed with this thing for an hour attempting to make sense of the sketchy...

Booksadored: This vacuum deserves ZERO or MINUS FIVE (-5) STARS !!!

This is a expensive piece of junk. Almost no suction after 5 minutes even with filters removed. I take it apart and it sucks for 5 minutes but then stops for some reason.

I purchased this Vacmaster Pro 8 gallon Certified Hepa Filtration Wet/Dry Vac on Amazon on April 11, 2021. I bought this particular vacuum because I need a HEPA 5 to safely vacuum possible asbestos fibers, mouse poop, and fine drywall dust in my basement and my 2 rental units where I live.

My primary intent and the purpose for this purchase is to use it as a HEPA 5 vacuum to safely remove potential asbestos fiber, and fine dust in my basement. I first tested it to see how well it performs and filters regular household and garage dust and debris. It did not perform even close to its specifications. And I have not yet tried use it for the high performance HEPA 5 applications.

I followed all instructions for assembly and usage. It started failing during the first two hours of use. Now it has almost no suction at all after the first 5 minutes even with HEPA filter canister and bag removed. I gave up with it less than 2 weeks after I...

Chantal: Petit format, très pratique pour les endroits restreints!
Filtre Hépa un peu gros, occupe une bonne partie de la cuve.
Leur sacs un peu cher.

Hamilton guy: So I got bad news from an asbestos testing company that my walls had asbestos content which I had unknowingly drilled into and contaminated my whole apartment. I decided to clean everything myself and I found this vacuum seeing that it is stated as a certified HEPA which can gather up asbestos fibres. Basically when this vacuum arrived I spent a full week full-time cleaning the absolute life out of literally everything in my home. Im not kidding this vacuum was continuously working for 18 hours every single day for 7 days straight as I vacuumed every single item and surface that I possessed. At the end of the cleanup the suction power still had not degraded, the vacuum still worked strong, the prefilter bag was absolutely about to burst but that's my fault - I should've replaced it at the recomended 2/3rd mark. Otherwise the actual HEPA filter itself may have still been able to go through a few more prefilter bags, but since I did asbestos cleanup I decided to disgard it and start with a fresh filter for normal vacuuming. I've never owner a HEPA vacuum or shop style vac before but I have to say I have never been so impressed by a machine such as I had with this one. Considering...

Sandra: I waited for about a month to review this vacuum so I could use it in different areas. It's awesome! I have high
ceilings with beams that were very dusty. I vacuumed the beams
with this vacuum from the floor. No need for a ladder or
step stool. It did a great job. So... I started vacuuming everything... Drapes, carpets, etc. The hepa filter is great!
My home is dust free and fresh smelling. I originally bought this vacuum for the shop and mud room,( Which it did a great job too). The dust bag holds a lot of material. I have not, as of yet used it for water clean up. It was delivered in perfect shape, and came in two days! (I'm impressed). My biggest concern is the top of the vacuum, where the motor is, gets quite hot. I don't know if this is normal? or am I running it for too long of periods? (20 to 30 mins at a time). All in all, this is a great vacuum for the price. I am very happy with this purchase.

Bernd Hinterlassnig: This is a very good vacuum. The filter is big, but over all , there is still 6 gal of space in there for dust.
It has a lot of water-lift, comes with everything, reasonably quiet. Best air-filtration I have ever seen on a vacuum.
It is designed for a lot of fine dust, rather than big wood-chips. Check out there Website to buy the right Vac for the job you throw at it.
