Best vacuum ever! I used it to clean my car and it definitely reached all the tough spots. Then I used it while cleaning my fish tank, sucked all the dirty water up. Great investment!

Absolutely love it, i keep it in my car and use that instead of using a public vacume. Works great

If you're ever in need of a lightweight, portable shop vacuum for indoors, then this might be the product for you. The MessMaster from Shark has many great things going for it outside of it's portability, and you would be surprised at how well it performs compared to a shop vacuum. With it's many included accessories, you'll find that having one of these handy around the corner is more convenient than you think. Of the many features, in my opinion, the best is it's ability to use any bag as dust collection. This is optional as you can just use it bagless, but it does provide an easy solution to empty the dustbin without much hassle. The filters are all accessible and easy to remove for cleaning, and thanks to that you may not need to buy anything else in the future to continue getting the same performance as day one. Speaking of performance, this thing really sucks (in a good way). Compared to the 5HP shopvacs I have around, I'm feeling nearly identical suction. That is pretty amazing seeing as how small and portable the unit is. The coord is about 14 feet long, giving you enough movement to use it in an entire room. Overall, this is definitely nice to have compared to dragging around a shop vac to clean around the house. Moving on to the negatives, there aren't really any that are glaring and would prevent me from buying this product again. All of these are quality of life things that would essentially make this the perfect vacuum around the house. To begin, the hose size is 1 3/8 inches which for me meant that none of the 1 1/4 hose attachments I already have would not fit. Moving on to the dust collection, the lid is attached with a hinge and latch which kind of limits it's usage in a way. Because the mesh filter takes up a lot of the space, you'll find it would have been easier if there was no hinge and the lid came off completely. However, because there is a hinge, you can't fully utilize the full capacity of the bin as you need room for the filter to move out of the way. This is not really a problem if you empty it before getting too full though. On the topic of dust, I would not use this for anything too fine like sawdust. In a traditional shop vac, you go through two layers of filter: the bag and then the actual filter. This provides extreme filtration depending on your bag and filter you use. Here, there is a mesh filter, and two cloth filters. These do not provide nearly the same filtration and you won't get the results you're looking for. In addition to that, there is minimal cyclone effect in the bin meaning not a lot of separation of dust in the bin before it hits the filters. As a result, most of the dust gets attached to the mesh filter inside, decreasing its lifespan before needing to be cleaned. To conclude, as long as you can see the limitations of this vacuum, it is actually a great product. Cleaning things around the house has not been easier and in my book, this product is a win.

So far, I am pleased with product. It does exactly what I needed.

Shark vacuums never disappoint! I use this in my office to clean up dirt and mud from my boots and it gets the job done well!

Perfect little unit, strong cleaning power. I was impressed. Easy to clean too!

strong and easy to use vacuum can be use also for cars. handy, rather than those big vacuums with the same power. very very nice definitely recommended

Works beautifully! Has helped tremendously with car cleanings, and misc spills.

It's not bad that little machine clean up stains pretty well.

Works well for both wet and dry purposes. Very handy to pick up after cat messes or litter, as well as for kitchen or car uses. Would purchase again.

Great vac, ir doesnt bring the big floor attachment pictured on the box though

Awesome vacuum …so far so good…i Loves it so much…

Works great so far. No complaints. Accessories all store on the unit which is very nice. Have not used the liquid clean up as yet.

Unit is well made, i started with spilling water to see how well it did. It did as expected. Great. The goal is to get carpet cleaner with pets.

This is amazing I use it at my yogurt shops and ita nice that you can do wet or dry without even thinking about it.

Does a fair job of picking up debris. Would have like a bit more suction .

Best little shop vac I’ve ever used and I’ve used many

I’m so in love with this purchase. I no longer have to go to the vac-n-dry. I bought this on sale during the drop. Thanks BestBuy

It's still new in my house so I can't speak to the long-term performance. However, I do love the separated liquid and dry compartments as well as the ability to use any trash bag in the dry compartment. There are a few factors that keep this from being as good or great item in my mind. First, the instructions mention a flat tool attachment but one does not come included. Second, there is no spot to wrap the cord. And finally, which I find most disappointing, the suction is meh. It does the job for the most part, but struggles with dog hair.

Hoses not long enough, suction power is okay could be better. I really thought it being a Shark product it would be better, a little disappointing
