Customers are mixed about the quality of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it works well, is fantastic, and is a very good shop vac.

Customers are mixed about the size of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention it's a reasonable size, engineered to be more compact, and great for small places like an RV or inside of the house. However, others say that it'd be much too large for their needs, the body of the machine is big, and the hose wasn't large enough to allow leaves to pass through.

"...The large hose is actually a bit unwieldy and will take some getting use to compared to my previous (well worn in) unit...." Read more

"...Even the carriny hands are large and spacious, makes for easy moving and lifting...." Read more

Outstanding performance
I bought this vacuum a few weeks ago for a home improvement project and just to have around. I went with the Vacmaster brand because I have a smaller Vacmaster with the small hose and despite its size the performance has been very good.Let me start by saying I am sort of a neat freak. I am the master cleaner of the house when it comes to cleaning up carpet stains or big spills or things like that. I have always had a shop vac, just never one with the big hose.So in doing demolition in the kitchen I had to borrow the plumbers big shop vac to suck up chunks of wood and sheet rock and nails, etc. And I thought damn that works well! My little one is great for a dust and tiny little things but that’s about it.By now you may be thinking I don’t have anything to compare this to really… Only my smaller one. You are correct. So that makes this whole review kind of pointless because I don’t know if another brand of big shop vac like this one would do as well, but I don’t care. This thing has many features that I am very pleased with. Sure, you might go with a craftsman, or a rigid, or a Dewalt. And I’m sure all those vacuums are awesome. But I’ve become sort of loyal to the Vacmaster brand and so there you go.First of all I’d like to say that it is actually quieter than my small one. Kind of like a big dog is quieter than a small dog. The little one screams with a very high-pitched tone, whereas this one is more of a low hum.A few weeks back, I had over seeded my lawn and put down a bunch of soil over the top. Little did I know that the soil was mainly tiny wood chips. What a bummer. So after the seed started sprouting and the grass got green I looked over at the Beast and thought “I wonder if this would suck up the wood chips?” It did. So there I was vacuuming my entire backyard lawn. The big 16 gallon drum filled up about five times in about 45 minutes. This product sucks.So the filter. The filter looks like it came off a Tesla or the space shuttle. It is absolutely high-quality and when I cleaned it off, the inner portion was as clean as a whistle after sucking up so much crap. If you wanna suck up liquid, take the filter off and maybe put on the foam filter for liquid. I have yet to do this. This thing even has a drain at the bottom of the drum to drain liquid.The cord is 20 feet long so I have yet to need an extension, except when I did my backyard of course.I don’t put the casters on these things. Because the fairly stiff hose makes it roll around like crazy every time I vacuum something. This one has a nice bottom that slides across most surfaces anyways. Plus without the casters, the overall center of gravity is lower and the risk of the whole thing tipping over is nil.I love the on off switch. You can just sort of hit it or tap it with the hose extension to turn it on or off.So I would say it just works really well, it’s very friendly, and it’s very powerful and it says the Beast right on the top. I guess I could put tools or something on top but I have not done that yet.Do yourself a big favor and go buy 10 of these.
