Fabulous Vac!!!
By B. Bryant
I just got my vacuum last week and I pulled it out this weekend for it's trial run, on the list of chores for my new vac:
Empty out small pond in backyard for a cleaning
Clean up Dog Room
Blow out garage
Blow off Driveway leaves
I took out my Vac and put it together, VERY simple, attached the wheels that slide onto unit and then can be secured with one screw, attached the hose,nested all my attachemnts in their place ON the vacuum, slid on the water filter sleeve(provided), set aside the dry filter (provided) and off to the backyard pond I went!!
This vacuum has a great big drain plug for easy draining!! no lifting and dumping water out with this one, great suction, emptied out my little pond in no time at all, worked great!!
Then the dog room, vacuumed up everything and maybe a few things I didn't mean too, this vac has some great suction so be careful when vacuuming close to an item your not trying to vacuum, some people may find the powerful suction a fault, I think it's great, it's a heavy duty vacuum, if you want something less powerful then perhaps use a house vacuum?? They also have numerous different attachments I found that have brush attachments that will help ease the powerful suction when vacuuming say your rugs or car,You may want to consider this if you plan on using this for either of those purposes. It's on my list for future purchases.
Then it was time to blow out the garage and clear the leaves and dirt off the driveway. So easy!! one push of the button and you just lift the blower right off the vac, put on your attachments and you got yourself a blower. It's handle is easy to hold and the unit itself is not heavy, I was skeptical when I ordered this vac that the blower would not be powerful enough but I am happy to say I am very pleased with the power and it's suprisingly quiet(as far as blowers go)you would not need any type of earplugs while using this unit.
I am giving this unit a well deserved 5 stars, if your looking for a great vac with a little extra (detachable blower) then give this one a try,I think you'll be pleased with what you find.

So far, so good!
By ShopsAround
I'll start with the reasons I didn't give this vac 5 stars. I think there are good reasons for these, but #1. It's not as quick to move from vac to blower mode as my last one was. #2. The blower is a noticeably heavier than my last vac's was.
#3 The cord isn't as long as my last shop vac's cord was.
Now for the good stuff. This is a powerful and QUIET vac compared to my last one. I would bet that it's the reason the blower is heavier. I think the reason it's not as easy to detach from the main unit is that you have to remove a part to put on an adapter, this will probably prolong the vac's life.
So far I really like this new vac. It is very powerful. The manual says to wear goggles while using the blower and I can see why, it's so powerful that even on my first use I could easily see debris flying up into one's eye. You do not want to aim this blower at a person and you also want to be sure there aren't people near when you're blowing in case a sharp object was also present.
I also like that the attachments ride on the casters of the machine.

By A. LEBOLD
I received the Vacmaster VBV1210 from Amazon.com today. So far, I am extremely pleased with this vacuum cleaner.
1) It was VERY easy to assemble. All you need is a Philips screw driver. It came with an easy to follow manual, but you really do not need it.
2) When I ordered this vacuum cleaner, I was a little concerned that it only had a 5-HP motor. Well, I can honestly say that it has more than enough suction for a typical homeowner. My wife asked me to first vacuum the carpeted stairwell leading down to our basement. This vacuum cleaner is not really designed to clean wall-to-wall carpet, but I figured it was worth a try. It ended up doing a great job! It has so much suction power, it was literally lifting the wall-to-wall carpet up an inch or two!! My wife was shocked that it could do that. I thought it was great! :)
3) Next, I went down to our unfinished basement and started to clean it out. It sucked up everything including screws on the floor as well as small wood chips.
4) The Vacmaster has a 2.5 inch hose, which is exactly what I wanted. My old Shop Vac only had a 1.5 inch hose, and it constantly got plugged up with debris. I do not think the Vacmaster will have that problem. Oh, by the way, this vacuum is really VERY quiet. I think it due to the fact that it came with a free "muffler" that easily screws onto the blower port. In comparison, my old Shop Vac was so loud, I had to use ear plugs!
Bottom line: I highly recommend the Vacmaster VBV1210. I was very impressed with the build quality as well as its performance. For the price, I do not think you will find a better vacuum for your home/workshop.
