A powerful, affordable vac!
This is a great wet vac for someone who is looking for a relatively small, powerful wet/dry vac! It is compact, comes with a whole host of attachments, and features a roller bottom to make it easy to move the vac from space to space. (If you choose not to attach the wheels, that is also an option, as you scre the bottom onto the unit) I work with glass, and I frequently have tiny pieces of glass on the floor and all over my work table. Given the number of tools, etc., on my table, it is very hard to move them all each night to sweep the shards up. Using this vac, I can get each and every shard without moving any of my tools or glass rods. It is very powerful, but I can direct the vacuum into the smallest crevices by simply putting my hand over the larger pieces I don't want vacuumed up. I think that this is an excellent value, and so far, I could not be happier! I looked for a shop vac that specifically said glass, and I am so pleased that it does its job, is relatively quiet, and while I've only had it a short time, it feels as if it will be durable.

Impressive performance and attachment selection for the price and size.
I purchased this for casual car cleaning and detailing in my garage, along with other related cleaning. It's hard to say a bad word about it, especially for the price. I find it to be the perfect size for this type of use. The larger options are harder to store, and I don't believe I'd ever be filling them up for typical home use. The little handheld battery-powered options (of which I have a well-reviewed version) are never powerful enough. This Armor All 2.5 gallon sits perfectly in between the two. Power is not an issue and suction is stronger than I expected for a small, affordable unit. It's lightweight enough to carry around when you need to and compact enough to move around and store easily if you're limited on space, plus the wheels roll well (so far). The noise level isn't quiet but also not obnoxious like some of the larger units. It's wet/dry capable, which can always come in handy, and while it doesn't feel rugged or heavy duty, it also doesn't feel cheap. If I have to be a stickler for details, I'd say the attachment selection is solid for a variety of spaces and materials, but the ones designed for tight crevices and spaces (between seats, for example), aren't really narrow or long enough to fit in some of those spaces, which is a bummer. The lid attachment also isn't super tight and snug, but I didn't notice any issues while using the vacuum. Lastly, the cord length could always be longer, as you'll almost certainly need an extension cord for moving around all sides of a vehicle. None of these critiques were significant enough to remove a star from the rating, though, as I'm happy with the purchase and performance for the price.

Very pleased 🏆
Bought a second Armor All shop vac from the already opened section without wheels at a great price. Having one on each floor is super helpful. Accessibility saves time for a quick suck, and each serves a different purpose. Without wheels makes storage easier. Having extra interchangeable parts from my first purchase makes adding an arm extension easy without requiring expense and a second wheeled unit. Owning an original Shop Vac, regular vacuum, plus a Dirt Devil mini made me crave a different model that could do it all but not fell short on ability. Be light, hold more for large continuous cleanings, but not be so big or awkward navigating certain projects. Like the stair case. Or clean up after a Reno project of a vintage property. Caring for a feral community within an indoor cardio during their journey from TNR to touch and purr. Having the wheels and elongated extension serves us very well in many projects. A second unit able to store in the Catio closet is a game changer. Quick clean access is more motivating and less distracting, for me. Compared to the dirt devil in longevity, filter, and ability to manage not only cat needs but German Shepherd seasonal nick name Sheds a Lot one and done job. Rather than multiple attempts with a refuse collector. Though all our other style vacuums have served us well over the years prior to this property. The size of this vintage house and design from the turn of the century in 1900 includes an attic, full size basement including a workshop, and two floors with lots of rooms. Having cleaning tools like a broom and pan on each floor and vacuum options that manage the task at hand per floor are key to our household cleaning strategy. This medium sized powerhouse with its versatility and extensions plus washable and replaceable filter system is my favorite compared to all other units. Not only for size and ability but overall cost compared the larger regular size shop vac. Replacement filters add up. Tossing collection bags over time add up in cost. This little beast is easy to dump into a receptacle. Rinse the filter. Sure, maybe itty bitty particles get through. Justifying the replacement filter expense long term and the waste they create even with a sub and save discount is not worth the cost, imo. This unit comes with a dust cover collector and mesh sponge like filter. Find these adequate. We have experienced zero dust problems during use. While empty wrap the trash bag around the container. Dump. Wait a few moments for the dust to settle. Close the bag. No problems for us. Hope this review update is helpful. If you visit the opened, return, and damage box section could save a little extra. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😁 /\ update Beyond impressed. For half a dozen years have used a repurposed shop vac from Goodwill that has been exceptional for $25. It still works. The only thing I’d wished was different is maneuverability. It’s bulky and in an ideal world a smaller machine as capable was a wish. Here we are. Brilliant lil’ machine. What wows me, everything. Plentiful attachments cover both wet and dry. The two filter covers. Easy to clean and reuse. Way better than the shop vac that requires a big expensive filter replacement to maintain. Right here this lil’ buddy pays for itself in less replacement filters for shop vac. The down side on dry, this doesn’t use a bag. So be aware, careful to not breath in dust or where a mask when emptying. And, do outside so as to maintain your home. As dust might disperse everywhere when dumped. The wheels. It comes with screws. To secure the wheels to the vacuum. But could go without and on wheels when on the floor moving around. For people thinking attachments are missing, open the vacuum compartment. The hose and a few extras are inside. The guide is very detailed. Helpful. Advise reading to know how to do the wet verses dry options for appropriate use. Someone mentioned the power cord is short. It’s perfect for a room. But, using your extension cord for jobs like in my basement where there’s only two outlets is helpful. Or, if using this in my Jeep would need an extension from the outlet to help offer length. The variety of head options for diversity is wonderful. A couple of detail options with brushes will help. Like, if you have small spaces to clean of dust or debris. Very excited to have this device to help with a vintage property during renovations. Making vacuuming easier in awkward spaces. Like steps. Basement under stairs, etc. Listed on the vacuum is the initials for replacement filters if needed. What’s provided vibe durable and washable. Lots of uses available of a consistent user, like myself. Do I think $59 is worth it? YES. After six years using the most recognizable brand having searched for many years for a second option that’s portable, this is it. I’ve tried the Dirt Devil. Vacuum. The stand up type. In comparison this vac with the long hose will demand better results that the DS and less dealing with that devices small dust compartment. Very happy with this purchase for our needs at this price. With wood floors and a German Shepherd am excited to have better help maintaining floors and helping with renovations. Another plus, the hose is so long and multiple options for nozzles will have an easy time cleaning the exposed basement ceiling. If you’re looking for a multipurpose vac that can tackle tasks in the shop, kitchen, garage, basement, and many others like pet hair to vehicle’s like Jeeps and other utility vehicles this could be your win. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

Works pretty well.
Works pretty well, for the most part. It would be nice if the top fit on a little better though. Sometimes when you are carrying it with the handle while using it the top separates from the bottom enough, and you lose suction at the hose. I use the attachment that looks like the the vacuums at the car washes the most, glad this set has that attachment. Suction seems good for how small the unit is. Gotta clean the filter bag a lot though, that gets clogged up pretty quick. Replacement filters are cheap.

Buy this to keep your car cleaner!
This is a great little vacuum for your car. Several smaller tools to get in every crevice and vent plus larger ones for your floor mats and carpet. Wasn’t overly noisy, didn’t have to wear ear plugs like I have with other small vacs. Light to carry and a decently long cord. Reasonably priced too.

Top rated vacuum
Read up and researched top rated vacuums before buying this one. It was a high rated one on several sites. Glad I did! Love the accessories it comes with and the suction is very good especially for the size. No dust discharge so the filter is doing a good job. Easy to put together and seems well made.

Terrific
This thing is awesome. I saw the good reviews and attractive price and it seemed like a no brainer. I’ve been using an old vacuum cleaner to do my car interior up until now. It has plenty of suction and is light and has great attachments.

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT
An absolutely fantastic machine for its size and power. Incredibly happy with the results of all the demands I placed on the unit to do a brilliant job of clean up. I would HIGHLY recommend this vacuum for anyone who has a small living residence or for cleaning their vehicles. Exceptionally well built, easy to operate, and easy to tuck away until you need it again. Everything 'locked n loaded' and ready to go to work. Accessories, another brilliant asset.

It really sucks.... in a good way!
Just got this little vacuum and was super easy to assemble. I read the instructions to ensure I had it correct, turned it on and was impressed how powerful it was for its size. It will lift small area carpets. I just did some areas around my kitchen, next the car. I like that you can reuse the filter by simply washing it. I doubt I'll use it for anything wet but ya never know, so it's good to have. Glad with this purchase. Now the test will be .... how long will it last? I will update if I come across any issues.

Ya no enciende
Tengo menos de 6 meses con esta aspiradora y de repente ya no enciende sin importar a qué conexión en la casa lo ponga. Su soporte técnico es pésimo y me mandaron con otra empresa la cual para colmo está inglés, no lo recomiendo si es a todos les va a fallar igual.

Bon petit aspirateur d’atelier, pratique et compact
Il fait bien le job pour les petits nettoyages, que ce soit de la poussière ou des liquides. Les accessoires inclus sont utiles, et le format est facile à transporter et à ranger. Par contre, je trouve qu’il manque un peu de puissance, surtout pour aspirer des saletés plus lourdes ou incrustées. Pour un usage léger, il est nickel, mais si vous cherchez quelque chose de vraiment puissant, il faudra peut-être regarder un modèle au-dessus.
