I use this mostly in the garage but expect to use it on porches and inside when doing projects. I especially like that I was able to get the filter bags for finer dust particles #90671 for certain inside projects. The Shop Vac has good vacuum. I accidentally vacuumed up a long nylon cover to a golf umbrella, just pulled the hose from the unit, reached in two fingers and pulled it out. I can get into the tight corners behind the water heater, behind equipment, and into the corners in the ceiling with no problem. It rolls very easily. There is little room to try to fit all the attachments with the hose and cord wrapped around. I can fit them, but a pain. Better to just put them in a separate plastic box. Hoping this lasts a long time.

I bought this for clean up in my garage and to vacuum my vehicles. I purchased this unit on sale and did not pay mfr list. I like the stainless steel aspect of the barrel and the motor provides good air flow and suction. The hose is nice and long and gives good access into the large cab of my 1 ton truck. I do have to grade this unit down on two short comings. First the electrical cord is ridiculously short, thank goodness for extension cords. I believe this might have been intentional as storing the unit with a 20' cord would have been more difficult and made it much more bulky. The second short coming is the latches to attach the vacuum head to the barrel. It is a little cheap and cheesy but it does work if you play with it some.

This vaccum has great power and it comes ready to go right out of the box. Several accessories are included.
