| Goodbye to dustcloths, brooms, dustpans! I use the wand with brush attachment for cobwebs/tables/windowsills, switch to the T-attachment for furniture, then wrap up with the floor attachment which works equally well for wood/tile floors and oriental rugs. Some people might find the backpack model cumbersome, but in my mind it beats lugging a canister around and having to move it every 5 feet (especially for steps!) I would not recommend it for wall-to-wall carpeting (we have wood floors so no problem there) or garage cleaning (that's what a 'real' shopvac is for.) For everything else, though, this device is wonderful... good power/noise ratio and power/weight ratio. One minor complaint is that the T-handle doesn't have an integrated dirt-loosening brush; I swapped it out with a more effective version from an old upright. |
Best vacuum I've ever owned

| The Shop-Vac 285-00-10 Industrial Duty Back Pack Vacuum is the best vacuum I've ever owned and used. I've had canisters and uprights and even a small shop vacuum (which wasn't bad either) but my back pack vacuum tops them all. My experiences with Hoover and Kirby have always ended up with a vacuum "gone down." My small shop vac outdid these two brands and now my Back Pack vacuum has picked up where my small Shop Vac left off. I have five daughters, all with long hair, and picking up the hair from carpeting has always killed my other vacuums. I noticed the janitors in my work place using back pack vacuums and I saw the great results they got cleaning our offices, so I finally searched for one on the internet and was happy to find one reasonably priced. It does a fantastic job and I will never regret buying it. It is worh every penny. |
Makes vacuuming easy

| I got my vacuum yesterday and, of course, proceeded to clean my entire house. That was the best cleaning it has gotten in years and it took less than 30 minutes. This machine made the cleaning process easy, which also means it will get done more often. My house is over 3k sq ft and most of the floors are tiled. Dust Bunnies breed like rabbits. A regular vacuum is a hassle on hard floors. This vacuum is light and comfortable, the power cord reaches throughout the house, and I like being able to easily reach up and clean the ceiling, windowsills and furniture. At first, I thought it wasn't going to be powerful enough, but it picked up everything, even chunks of cat turds (I have a 20 yr old cat who misses the box occasionally). My only complaint is that the holes in the metal tubes are cut a bit crudely. Trying to release the tubes from one another when pressing the little button can result in some lost skin on your thumb. A little more precision in manufacturing would have eliminated the problem. I will smooth out the edges with a sander. |
WoooHooo! It's AWESOME!
