I have this vac and it's a great unit for cars and other small jobs. If you have a need for a small vac, this is a good choice.

It's small, loud and no filter.

It actually comes with the hose but it does not have the long wand. Don't bother with this product. Very underwhelmed with the performance. See details on my other post also on this thread.

It says "tool only", which means it doesn't come with a hose?

I got this 1 1/4" accessory a week ago. Now I can't go back. It fits on OPs model or any 1 1/4" sized vac. It's 10 off.

I have this and it's weak.

Also tips over tons. Wheels are worth it. Or a better shape like Milwaukee's thing

This vac sucks much better than cordless Dyson v15. Great size, it come with a paper filter & rubber band to hold it. I did manage to add a hepa filter and additional padding. Using it as a car vac, just tested it. It a good size. Manage to download the ace hardware app and got additional $5 off. $15 is a good deal. . .

I bought one last year and it came with a blue filter and large rubber band. Instructions said to take off the filter if vacuuming water.

I bought this same unit the last time it was on SD. I thought it would come in handy for small jobs such as vacuuming the interior of my car. It is meh, suction is decent for its size. My biggest complaint is that if you switch position, it would completely lose sucking power. It is screaming like crazy but no actual air pull. I had to turn it off and turn it back on to regain suction power.

No, I can't recommend it. I ended up getting a full-sized Ridgid 16 gal shop vac that was recently on sale for $60 in HD.
Shop vacs have a plastic ball in a cage below the motor inlet. It sucks the ball into the inlet when it tips over or it fills up enough water for the ball to float to cut suction so water doesn't get into the motor.

Did yours not come with a filter?

$60 is a sweet deal for that Ridgid model.

Picked this up today, really pleased with it. Tried it out today and it was great for vacuuming my carpeted stairs as it's really light.

Great little vacuum. Picked one up last year or the year before. Can't recall.

I have had 16gal Ridgid vacuum for over ten years now and now it has been working great. However, filters at HD are a bit pricey. So, One thing I recommend is to get paper bag filters online(usually under $20 for 5 bags). These bags work great when cleaning dust/grill/ash.

FYI, Just brought it home. Somehow I had a $5 Reward in my reward wallet, maybe for downloading app? So my pre tax was $14.99.. Great little unit for my oversized sofa and crazy amount of Pug hair..

Mine applied fine, but maybe since it was already in wallet? The $5off $15, did not work, though.
