This compact shop vac is ideal for doing stairs as that is what I purchased it for. I highly reccomend this powerfull compact vac. With this unit you recieve much more cleaning power for the money. Recieved my shop vac well before estimated delivery date and is everything I expected. I originally was looking at hand held vacs for doing the stairs but as I was researching them I stumbled upon this powerfull compact shop vac and really happy I did. Shopping with Amazon.com is my first stop while shopping online. This shop vac has 3 times the power of a hand held as I have owned a hand held Dirt Devil for years.
However, I wish it were a little bigger. The suction is very good and the foam filter is easy to clean and replace. It quickly reaches its automatic shut off water level so you do have to empty it often. I love this little shop-vac. It was my intent to purchase a small shop-vac because my main use would be as a wet vac during the snowy, winter months. Small but does a great job. This fills the bill and is very powerful, lightweight, moves around easily and doesn't take up much space.
I read reviews indicating others had the same problem; I should have taken their advice and found something else. The manufacturer ships this vacuum in a way that requires some minor assembly; the wheels and their plastic support need to be attached to the canister. Simple enough, except the wheels require that you "push and twist" in order for them to seat properly. Good luck if you buy this one. I was unable to get even one wheel to attach as described in the instructions; the wheel actually broke during assembly.Why can't the manufacturer ship a product like this without any additional assembly.
ShopVac Corp will not sell you a switch; they will only sell you the whole power head for $60. Our second one has died twice and now in need of a new switch. Overall, we love this vacuum, but it's a consumable, disposable item. We have a third new one in the box awaiting it's turn. Well um, that's more than we paid for the vacuum.Hang on to your receipt and warranty information as you will likely need it. If you use it regularly, you can count on the switch going bad within a year or two.
easy to put together and use. very powerful and handy.a retractable cord feature would be great.
