Vacmaster VJH1211PF0201, Professional-Professional Wet/Dry Vac, 12 Gallon, Beast Series, 5.5 HP 2-1/2" Hose, Polypropylene, Black, 1416 W

I had originally left a 3 star review on this item, not because it's not an excellent vacuum, nor because the seller didn't live up to their promises, but because it is on the UK Amazon site, but comes from Florida and is 120V rather than 240 and I thought it valuable for other UK buyers to be aware of this. I did not think the seller was purposely trying to mislead. They have since responded to me thanking me for the feedback, stating they are making improvements to clear up any confusion and presumably point out that a transformer will be required for European use. Consequently I have upgraded my rating to 5 Star.

Vacuum is excellent, has very good suction and the design is well thought out. Unfortunately it is not compatible for the uk, as it works on 110v.

That’s for the UK recommendation. Thes30- which transformer did you buy for this as I want to get the correct one.

Pros: - Relatively compact design. Not too heavy, easy to bring around - Very strong suction, especially when you consider the size - Good array of accessories, perfect to use for car detailing at home - Super solid build quality. The plastic, while light, is super durable Cons: - None really Overall: This is my first Shop vac and I have to say I’ve been really happy with this. While this isn’t your conventional shop vac, with no wheels on the base, it’s super portable and well built. Love the large array of accessories. I use this for odd jobs and to detail my car, which this has been perfect for. For the money, this is a really great value. Overall would recommend!

This is the best shop vac I’ve ever owned. On a scale on 1-10 it’s a 10. The only reason i could complain would be because it drains the battery within 30 mins. That’s still plenty of time for me to vacuum my truck and my wife’s car like a professional. I can not praise it enough over being cordless. The fact that I’m not looking for an outlet and an extra long extension cord is such a blessing. Just pack it outside to my vehicles with the handy carry handle, turn the switch to “on” and go to work. It has a attachment for every crevice. Money well spent

I bought the VacMaster in 2019. It’s been amazing. After 6 years it’s running like new. Very POWERFUL! I use it in my woodshop and it as proven to be a reliable companion used in a daily basis. It’s a good fit in terms of size and capacity. It wheels easily around the shop, does not plug easily. The attachments are very handy and work well although I don’t use them very often. I simply haven’t needed them. In summary, I recommend this product very highly.

This blower needs more reviews. It's a good one. But I see that it is not always in stock, so I give an alternative fan recommendation in this review. Note that this is a "first impressions" review. I'll be sure to update it if I have any longer-term issues. I will also note that I read on another website somewhere that the Vacmaster is not UL-listed. I can't confirm that, except to say I don't see a UL logo on it or in the manual, and this probably helps to keep the cost down. But it does have an Intertek testing logo. I don't care. It looks well made. Doesn't feel cheap. For years, I used a salvaged fan prop and motor, mounted on a homemade plywood stand, with a chicken wire screen around the fan to protect my fingers, and the cord zip-tied for strain relief. It wasn't UL-listed either. I obviously didn't die. The unit has what at least on the outside looks like a heavy duty cord. Reportedly 12 feet long. Maybe a few inches shy of that, but I didn't stretch it flat to measure. The 3-speed control is solid and easy to turn. Has two outlets and a circuit breaker reset button, with the control on same side that the air exits (more on that later). Not too loud, and the noise is coming from air movement, not the motor or bearings. (You have to move a lot of air. You're going to get noise with any of these air movers.) Nice wide opening for air to exit the unit. Nice wide intakes. Squirrel fan design; very efficient for air movement. The closest unit to this in price and features I think is the XPOWER P-80A, which has a lot of reviews and looks readily available. It's rated at 600CFM using 1.2A, vs. VacMaster's 550CFM using 1.3A. And it comes with a "kickstand" to allow one more air direction position, i.e. 20 degrees up. IMO, the kickstand is a gimmick. (Does anyone have a book laying around?) The cord on the P-80A is only 10 feet, vs. Vacmaster's 12. The P-80A looks like it has a nicer carrying handle. Pretty minor. The P-80A's outlets are on the side of the unit, vs. the front of the unit on the Vacmaster. If you need them, that is a more convenient place for outlets. But the outlet panel also takes up space on one side for the air inlet, and it seems like that could increase noise (just speculation). But if you are using several of these fans in series, you don't probably care about noise, and the P-80A would be a better choice for that application. The VacMaster was about $17 less than the P-80A when I bought it, and it fits my needs. I also liked having the longer cord. I'm 100% working from home because of the COVID19 virus. The room where I work is the second floor "bonus room" over our unconditioned garage. The bonus room is hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than the rest of the second floor. In the summer months (right now), I'm using the Vacmaster to push cooler air from the hallway into the bonus room. It seems to be working, and is a more convenient choice than a separate window air conditioner, though a window AC would allow me to close the door. For the money, the Vacmaster seems a solid choice.

Quede impresionado con su poder de succión, viene con todos los accesorios mencionados y me llego en tiempo y forma, voy a mencionar algunos de los pros y contras que veo: Pros: Excelente poder de succión, es la mejor aspiradora que he tenido. Los accesorios son muy útiles tanto para tareas domésticas como para el detallado automotriz Se siente de buena calidad y ensamble. Cuenta con un difusor de ruido lo cual la hace más silenciosa a pesar de su potente motor. El cable es lo suficientemente largo. Contras: Es muy robusta lo cual resulta en que el equipo sea un poco más pesado y voluminoso que algunas otras. No cuenta con ruedas para moverla fácilmente La manguera de succión es buena sin llegar a ser de uso rudo. La manguera de succión en el extremo donde se conectan los accesorios no gira lo cual me resulto muy sorprendente ya que le quita demasiada funcionalidad a la aspiradora, he tenido otras de gama menor y ellas cuentan con esta función en el extremo de la manguera, solo por este detalle le daría 4.5. Los accesorios vienen un poco filosos en sus bordes pero nada que un poco de lija no solucione. En general es de las mejores opciones que hay en el mercado, la elegí sobre una de la marca Rigid basado en un test, los accesorios (puesto que la Rigid se venden aparte) y por el precio.
