The code HAPPY30TH can work for this. When I clicked the link here and added it to cart it would not take but when I searched through the coupon search page I found the listing with BuyDig at $69.95 and it allowed the coupon. Only saves another $2.

I found the deal by looking at eligible items for the coupon but it didn't work on it.

I found the listing you suggested and it worked, post updated. TY!

Yeah, I was non-ironically looking to see if it charged via USB C.

Seems reasonable to expect for a "car" vacuum. Doesnt seem like it even comes with a 12v plug for the car, so I'm not sure what makes this a "car vacuum" besides that it's only 1 gallon and is somewhat light weight. Seems like most people would be better off just buying a longer hose than this thing if they already own a shop vac.

I like how they hide the cord in literally every promo picture. This is a basic wet/dry vac that isn't much better than a cheap Walmart/Harbor Freight model at half the price.

When you own various properties with various needs this can serve various purposes. I'll tell you right now that I've used this exact vacuum to thoroughly clean my pellet stove in my one house. It did a very good job at that. The attachments it came with for it were perfect for the job.
Just because you're not finding this useful doesn't make it useless for others. Keep your head high but be modest.

That still doesn't make this a good deal. You can do better for this price and still stay modest. This is a junk deal.

Why is this a "junk deal"? Try to find better that has the attachments that this has without being bigger than a 5 gallon sized bucket. Works really well for me, at this price point it's great, also worked to extract crap from my wife's car when a crumb cake fell in the trunk. Got all of it out.

No one is debating how well it works, it's just that it doesn't seem special for the price. https://www.walmart.com/ip/166556...d86b9d5e3I use this shop vac and I just don't see what the Ninja does that makes it worth the extra cost. I love Shark and Ninja products but I was confused the first time I saw that Shark shop vac for $150 at Costco or Sam's Club. It's a basic shop vac lol. There's nothing about it that makes it stand out from other shop vacs in a way that's worth the extra money. I like the option to be able to use a bag with it, but outside of that, I would actually recommend getting either a cheaper one or a better cordless one. There's just not much reason to buy this Ninja over anything else, even at $56 for a refurbished unit.

The problem here is that you and the others are making out like all shop vacs are equal.

The one that you linked is 2.5HP peak. The Hyper Tough that another linked is 1.5HP peak.
This is 7HP peak. That is a MASSIVE difference. And if you know anything about shop vacs, you know that this matters...a lot.

The Anybag option is actually a very clever and highly useful idea.

So are these specs just on paper?
I found a review that seems to indicate....no.

This works great. I prefer my battery vacuum for little messes. But as a small wet vac that is easier to deal with than my big shop vac, this is great. Also, it works great at unclogging stubborn sink drains. We had a double basin bath sink that was hopelessly clogged (I think way back in the wall). It sucked out a ton of debris and what looked like sand almost. It paid for itself on that job alone.

Please enlighten us. How often is that extra power going to make the difference in the real world for most people? I wanted to watch that video, but it's 40 minutes long lol. I don't disagree with anything you said, but I just don't know when I've ever used my Hyper Tough and felt like it just wasn't enough suction. I usually use shop vacs to pick up random debris when I'm working on something (typical shop vac usage) and the videos I see of this vacuum market it as a shop vac you can use to clean the house. If that's your average scenario, then I think this Shark is a great value at this price. For most people who just need a basic shop vac to use in the workshop, I don't see a reason to pick the Shark over any other cheaper option. They're all going to pick up the dust, dirt, and other random objects around the shop/workspace just fine. I don't know if it will ever hit that price again, but I got that Hyper Tough shop vac on sale for $10. Even at $32, it's almost half the cost of the Shark and available at most local Walmart stores. The cheaper option is still going to be my recommendation for the average person.
