Overview
A homeowner or garage user who needs a vacuum for workshop dust, spills and the car gets a compact canister here. A filter bag handles the debris, and a friction fit hose connects the tools.
Low weight and a modest noise level make it easy to carry around the garage or into a truck, and the included nozzles cover corners and flat floors. The limitation is the small tank and the filter bag, which both limit big cleanup jobs.
Who it's for
A garage, van or small shop with an outlet nearby suits a light canister. Large renovation cleanup or heavy drywall dust calls for a bigger tank and finer filtration.
Pros and cons
- Light and portable
- Hose and nozzles included
- Low noise level
- Three year warranty
- Filter bag needed for dust
Performance notes
Suction depends on the motor and on how full the filter bag is, since a clogged bag cuts airflow. The hose length sets how far from the unit it can reach, and the crevice tool concentrates suction into corners.
