Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For tough household clean-up I needed a good value in a strong vacuum cleaner but not the greater capacity of the larger Ridgid shop-vacs. This 4-gallon "canister-like" model was the ideal size. The vacuum itself is very well-priced and I outfitted it with all the necessary accessories - filter bags, Heavy Duty Cleaning Kit, and the 10-foot tough ProHose - to tackle tough cleaning jobs in a well-equipped manner.
The vacuum itself would get a five-star rating, but alas it is the total system that must work well together. The problem is that the top extension wand only "press fits" into the adapter at the end of the hose. Every other critical connection has a latch of some kind. So this friction joint is the weak link. When using the floor brush with the wands, the wand constantly wants to work its way out of the hose adapter. Depending on your grip, either the wand or the hose will unexpectedly fall to the floor as you are working. Only constant attention and conscious application of pressure and/or twisting action via a two-handed grip will prevent this separation.
It is almost a show-stopper, but the system vacuums so well that I've kind of adapted to it. It is not so much an issue when the smaller tools are used directly on the hose without the wands.
