This thing SUCKS! I wouldn’t doubt that it could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
OK enough jokes. This vacuum is pretty frigging good. It has quite a bit of suction power, even with the attachments. I use it to vacuum my cars and it does a GREAT job! For starters, the electrical cord is about 10 feet, which is nice. Though for most applications, you’ll likely still need an extension cord.
The suction power is pretty impressive. And it’s not much louder than your normal vacuum. It’s not blaringly loud, but at the same time it’s not whisper quiet.
The vacuum hose is adequately long at about 6 feet. Even better, the end of the hose rotates. This makes using it with attachments so much easier as you don’t kink the hose as easily.
Speaking of attachments, it comes with everything most will need for simple cleaning. It should be said that there is no extension tube as many other vacuums have. That seems to be the only attachment missing.
The vacuum does well with a mix of wet and dry vacuuming. I was able to vacuum up sand on a carpet, followed by standing water, then back to a sandy carpet. It also did a thick wet mixture quite well.
The collection bucket holds quite a large amount while still being easy to handle. You can carry the unit around while vacuuming, but I’m sure most will set it down before vacuuming. If you’re the type to place the unit on the ground before vacuuming, know that it does NOT slide well on the ground. You can give it tugs to drag it along, but know that it’s going to give a bit of resistance throughout the process.
In short, this was a great buy! I heard a few guys praising it prior to my purchase, so when I initially purchased this, I had high hopes and was ready to discredit most of its workings. I can honestly say that after using this to clean 5 vehicles, and a few household messes, this vacuum holds its own exceptionally well. This is definitely a winner and a great buy, especially for the budget minded who wants to get the best bang for their buck.
If I have to mention something negative about the unit, it would be 2 things.
1. I don’t like that there isn’t enough room to dump all the attachments inside the trash collector of the unit when not in use. Instead, I have to affix them to the top of the unit where they stand tall and proud.
2. The “clamps” connecting the top of the unit and bottom trash collector can sometimes be a bit annoying to align and affix together. Not a big deal, and it’s pretty obvious when it’s not connected correctly, but every time I opened the unit, I felt myself really taking my time to ensure the two parts were correctly connected.
Again small gripes with the unit. This just shows how well it was designed.
As usual, if I run into any problems, I will update this review accordingly. But as of right now, things are going extremely well.
UPDATE: After 2 years, this thing STILL runs like a champ. I don’t only use it for my car, but I’ve also used it to clean up inside my home as well, even after light construction projects. This was truly an item worth buying. It’s been invaluable over the past 2 years.

Me encantó, definitivamente es muy potente, succiona muy bien el pelo de mis mascotas que me dejan cuando los subo al coche.
Porque no pesa y es pequeña, la puedo cargar cuando tengo que aspirar el polvo de los ventiladores de techo
Me encantó el accesorio como boca de pato, ya que entra en los espacios de a los lados de los asientos del carro.
Fácil de limpiar.
Me hubiese gustado un accesorio con cepillo plano, para poder limpiar al área del aire de los coches.
Pero en general es muy potente y fácil de maniobrar.

Ok, I doubt anybody likes to vacuum out their car. Before getting this product I would go downtown to one of those car wash places and poke an endless supply of quarters into a bulky commercial vacuum cleaner. This has never been a pleasant experience since the car wash vacuum cleaners always seem to come with large barely-flexible, cumbersome hoses equipped with an over-wide nozzle ill-suited to clean the hard-to-reach places in your car. And they (don’t) suck! Taking the house vacuum into the yard isn’t an option – it just isn’t designed for this. The Armor All vacuum is incredibly light weight and generates an impressive amount of suction. It comes with a wide assortment of attachments and it does a great job. It works as a wet/dry cleaner. There’s no collection bag – only a small cloth bag/filter that covers the motor intake to prevent sand from ruining the engine. After you’re done you just pop open the top and dump the canister out. (The filter bag is reusable and you can also order extras) Important: Make sure you don’t forget to put the bag on or you’ll ruin the motor! When vacuuming liquids you must remember to swap out the bag for a sponge-ish filter that wraps around the motor intake for wet mode. The power cord is of a decent length, but of course you are still going to need a sturdy outdoor extension cord.

Bought to go with my new CNC machine. Does an excellent job sucking up the dust and shavings left from the machine. Small and very light weight makes it easy to use and move. Has a few attachments and holders for them all built into the lid. Had a mishap with a minor water spill. Normally, I would use my green machine to suck it up but I decided to give the wet vac a try. It was simple to switch the filters out and the water was cleaned immediately. Works like a charm for both wet and dry functions. Large flat bottom keeps it firmly planted in place without any worry of tipping.

This is one of the best little vacuums I’ve used! I bought specially for cleaning my truck which gets quite dirty due to the nature of my work. It’s light, has super good suction, good hose length that let’s you easily clean one side of your vehicle and not have the vacuum in your way.. I’ve had several vacuums over the years for cleaning my vehicles.. From the cheap 12v vacuum to using smaller shop vacs. This is compact and the brush attachments especially the small brush attachment makes it easy to get into all the small places in your doors and under seats as well as the dash as you can see in some of the pictures. (I know, I know, the floor mats need washing) It has a long cord which I like, however, there isn’t really a cord storage spot on the vacuum.. You just have to wrap it up with the Velcro tie. Overall I’m super impressed for a small little vacuum. Very happy.

The media could not be loaded.
Received the product first that arrived broken. Requested a replacement which i received and then decided to try out the replacement. It started up and then a flame came out the side almost catching me on fire and then when i got the hoover off began smoking. I contacted the seller and they were very unprofessional with dealing with it repeatedly attempting to make me pay for the shipping and then i was called dishonest! i don’t think the dishonest one considering i was sent a product that almost set me alight!

I know, I know, it’s an over-used vacuum cleaner pun, but this thing really does have powerful suction. This was a great purchase. I wanted a wet-dry vac primarily to clean up the kitty litter that cats inevitably spill when they use the litter box, and which other vacuums can’t seem to handle well. It does great with the litter and everything else too! And since this thing is so lightweight it’s easy to carry it all over the house and suck up all those bits of “everything else.”
When I started looking for a wet-dry vac I knew two things: 1) I didn’t want a Shop Vac because in my experience, they have terrible suction. 2) I didn’t want one with wheels because they tend to be very top-heavy and tip over the second you attempt to pull them around. This Armor All wet-dry vac fulfilled those two requirements and then some. I also really like the three very useful attachments that come with it, and the hose and cord lengths are adequate.
NOTE: Yes, there is a little bit of play between the lid and the canister, about 3/8 inch, when you lift up the vacuum. However, this does NOT create an opening through which debris can escape. The lid and the the base still overlap and keep the canister fully closed. Everything you suck up stays inside..
P.S. I also saved about $15 by purchasing an open-box item, and it was in perfect condition, so that was an added bonus.

We need a 110v to 240v transformer which can handle 1000 watts has to be used to use this machine in India. A seller selling in India should say it out loud that this product is made for USA and not for India. I did bought a high quality transformer along with this machine and used it for not more than an hour and the vaccum cleaner has stopped working. When we contacted the seller, they replied that warranty void if shipped outside USA, and that is not mentioned anywhere in the product description. All the more, No service center in India has a 110v to 220v transformer to test the machine and to fix it. Kindly help us to fix this machine.
