Some things to consider - David Beardsley - Portland, OR
I've owned one of these for about a year. The vacuum has worked fairly well, and you do get a long hose and decent accessories.

These come with cheap furniture casters, and not surprisingly one broke a few months ago. Since they are mounted on the plastic "legs" that fasten to the side, you can't easily replace them with something better. The casters are not covered by the warranty, and the replacements are featured prominently on the ShopVac site. You must purchase a whole set, depending on your model they are about -10. The casters are odd dimensions so you can't easily find a substitute. This seems like a bit of a racket to me, and cheap build quality and unfriendly designs like this drive me nuts.

Granted, in the big picture this is just a few dollars, but if this sort of thing bothers you I'd recommend finding something better.

Also, note that filters are much cheaper here than on the ShopVac site.
