Overpriced for what you get, poor feature design - Carlos Alvarez - Chandler, AZ United States
I think there are two areas that are important in a shop vacuum; its operational performance, and the overall design of the storage, tools, and how it all fits together. While this model has good performance, the overall design is quite poor. I am very disappointed that I paid nearly 0 for something that is no better than the 0 models at Lowe's and Home Depot. I expected good storage design based on all the included hoses and options.

The good: Very powerful, with both a very high airflow rate and very high total suction. A multitude of filter options lets you pick up anything. The filter bag keeps fine dust from escaping (cement, soot, plasterboard, etc) while the standard cartridge works great for typical construction cleanup. The hoses are very flexible and attach securely. Some others have springy/stiff hoses that are hard to work with and some pull out of the connector easily. The container is solid, wheels are smooth, cord is nice and long.

The bad: The storage part of the design seems to have been created by rabid monkeys. The cord loop ears are tiny, and positioned behind all of the tool storage. This means you have to remove the tools from the bin to use the cord wrap, then the tools don't fit well into the storage bin. The bin is too small to fit even the included tools, making it rather useless. The hose hanger just can't be used with the tool storage bin in place, so you'd have to remove the bin just to store the hose. Also there is only one hose hanger, for the 2.5" hose, while this kit includes a 1.25" hose also. I guess it doesn't matter since the hanger is useless.

Overall this is just poor design with no real reason. They could have put the bin on the front, leaving the cord and hose hangers accessible, or some other design option. I would not buy this item at even 50% off if given the choice again.
