Product Description
Product Description
The Vacmaster 4-Gallon* 5 Peak HP** Wet/Dry Vacuum is perfect for jobs around the house. With a 2-stage motor this wet/dry vac makes cleanup easy and quiet. The HEPA material exhuast filter ensures that the air filtering back into your home is dust and allergen free. The balanced top handle design, durable casters, and non-marring rear wheels provide stable and safe transportation in and around your home. The on-board hose and accessory storage allows you to keep all of the attachments organized and on-hand, while the automatic cord rewind makes wrapping up the job a breeze. * ""Tank Size"" refers to the actual tank volume, and does not reflect capacity available during operation. ** ""Peak Horsepower"" is a term used in the wet-dry vac industry for consumer comparison purposes. It does not denote the operational horsepower output of a wet-dry vac, but rather the horsepower output of a motor, including the motor’s inertial contribution, achieved in laboratory testing. In actual use, motors do not operate at the peak horsepower shown. *** CFM, Water Lift, and Air Watts tested to ASTM standard at the end of included hose."

Customers like the quality of the vacuum cleaner. They say it does a great job cleaning up construction debris, and is a good little vacuum for their needs. It filters dirt and dust very well, and does able job on bare floors and carpets. The hand dusting brush tool is okay, but the bristles are short and hard.

Customers are mixed about the suction of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention it has excellent suction, while others say it doesn't seem to have good suction. The brush holders don't hold them very tightly and the wire holders for the hose won't stay attached.

Customers are satisfied with the noise level of the vacuum cleaner. They mention that it is much quieter than most and does not have the high pitched whine you hear a lot in other shop vacs.

Customers like the size of the vacuum cleaner. They say it's convenient, easy to assemble, and small enough to store. Some say it fits well in a closet. The vacuum is compact but holds plenty of dog hair and dust without being too small. The head is easy to use and reach small spaces, and it has no fumes when they started. It's large enough to clean up decent-sized messes but not so large that it' s unwieldy or takes up a lot of space.

Customers like the value of the vacuum cleaner. They say it is a good product for the money, well worth the price, and a great purchase. Some mention that the hinges are solid.

Customers are mixed about the cord of the vacuum cleaner. Some like that it rewinds itself with the push of a button, while others say that it's iffy and would not re-wind.
"...others in it's class because it holds the accessories and has a retracting cord. Both functions work as advertised." Read more
"...The wire retraction mechanism is weak, meaning it takes some fiddling with to finally retract it in place...." Read more
"...I really like that part because the cord won't try to retract until you want it to retract. (It did break, as mentioned earlier.)..." Read more
"...if there is a problem or not, only time will tell, automatic rewind of cord is questionable at best, it doesn't just rewind like you would expect it..." Read more

This little guy is relatively small and lightweight, especially considering how well it works. It's not convenient for me to run this side by side with the Fein and Festool, by my impression is that it's noticeably quieter than either. Suction seems to be equivalent. I don't use this to collect dust from power tools, it's just for clean up tasks around my home. It's great for vehicle cleaning as well as any other common vac tasks. Because it's supposed to be a HEPA vac, I used it last weekend to thoroughly clean my sons room as he is suffering badly from allergies. I ran the vac continuously for over an hour, and it showed no signs of getting too hot. His allergies immediately improved, though I can't give all the credit to the vac because we also washed and wiped every surface.
It comes with a nice assortment of tools. My only wish is that the hose were about 2 feet longer.
Considering the cost of the other vacs I own, this is about the best deal ever. Inlove mine and am trying to come up with an excuse to buy another.
> Excellent NO BS suction power.
> Great range of accessories, meaning it is expandable to fit all your cleaning needs. Search for 1-1/4 attachments or adaptors that allow you to use more attachments from difference sizes. I can use this with attachments designed to clean inside the computers and keyboards to wet and dry messes and high up places, car detailing and even long attachments for cleaning the dryer and difficult to reach nooks and crannies.
The pole sections size are expandable and therefore you can vacuum places at great height without a ladder. It comes with 3 but you can attach more for longer reach. I like the idea of not having to buy several different vacuums to do a specific task. This one does everything. It can be an all in one solution.
> Handles both dry and wet messes, but it involves removing the dust bag if you are vacuuming anything wet.
> Wheeled with ergonomic handle. Easy rolling on the floor.
> Comparatively quite. Noise is muffled.
> Royal blue color is nice.
> Very reasonably priced.
CONS
> Heavy. Lifting it in assembled form was heavier than what I've expected. While you may not have that much need to lift it, there are times when you can't simply roll on the floor. On the other hand, a heavier design will help with the stability of the unit.
> The wire retraction mechanism is weak, meaning it takes some fiddling with to finally retract it in place. They should have used a stronger retraction mechanism. The way is to press the retract button a few times and slowly feed the wire in. The retraction is slow. The customer service suggests pulling the wire all the way out to reset the tension but that doesn't work. I can tolerate slow retraction or simply tie it up given how it does everything it is supposed to much better than competition.
> This is not a totally sealed vacuum meaning that micro particles may still escape from the back filter, but you can pretty much seal it by adding a MERV16 sheet (available separately). Simply cut a Merv16 sheet to size and install it on the front of the back filter. There is enough space for it to perfectly fit. It will catch any micro particles that might escape the 2 stage filtration inside. Discard and replace at intervals. This vacuum is not for cleaning hazardous materials by the way. But this step can essentially create a seal that is only available in models that don't have the features that this unit has.
> The other steps for better trapping of micro particles is the type of bag you put it. The bags it comes with are regular dust bags for dry mess vacuums and not high efficiency (they contain fine dust better).
Vacmaster doesn't have any HEPA or High Efficiency bags for 4 gallon vacuums at the time of review. So I found and tried another high efficiency bag made for another brand and it worked perfectly with this unit. You can find it by searching "SpaceTent 6 Pack Ridgid VF3501 Filter Bags, Compatible with Ridgid 3 to 4.5 Gallon Dust Bags/ Dry Vac Bags, Fine Dust Bags Part# RIDGID VF3501 / WORKSHOP WS32045F" on amazon.
Doing this and the latter Merv16 step pretty much creates a perfectly sealed unit that are available in much more expensive and limited feature vacuums.
> No carrying bag for attachments. I simply got a large royal blue duffle bag that matched the color of the vacuum and arranged all the attachments including many that I bought separately to complete my cleaning kit. You can store the included accessories on the unit itself but I am talking about additional ones you can get. I also used a large leaf bag as a cover for the vacuum itself for storage.
> You have to stay on top of the 4 gallon bag used for collecting dry mess in terms of replacement schedule. There are no lights or mechanism that tells you it is time for it to be replaced. I suspect I will experience a drop in suction power when it is times to dispose of the bag. While normally I am not a fan of units that work with disposable accessories, in this case it is far more convenient to dispose of a bag rather than wash and clean the filter every time and using it as a bagless model, which you can. They are also reasonably priced and last a long time. For most people, filling up a 4 gallon bag takes a long time.
I will update this review in terms of its long-term performance once I used it for a year or so.

Edit it’s been awhile, it still works. The only thing is the cord won’t come out. Don’t feel like taking it apart to fix, so we use an extension cord. Would have preferred if cord had stuck while extended lol.
