Koblenz WD-5 L2 Portable Wet-Dry Vacuum, 5 Gallon 3.5HP, Blue,Black 5 Year Warranty

okay, this is a decent shop vac. its a wet/dry vacuum which is really handy when you have kids. I've needed to use it several times to clean up spills in the kitchen and bathroom. it really does have good suction and the included tools are handy. the issue i have with it is the small diameter makes it easy to tip over if you aren't careful. also there's only an on/off switch and no high or low settings. the last one is more of a small complaint. the tipping issue is more the main problem i have. i do like that it has a 5 year warranty so if it happens to break due to tipping it should be covered.

This is a low end wet/dry style vacuum. I wouldn’t really use it for wet situations. It’s small size makes it good for cleaning out your car. About all it’s really useful for.

So, this vacuum does work as a vacuum. It's very lightweight, and when I finished vacuuming, there was debris inside the canister.There was also debris all the way up the wand and some spurted out the back through the blower port.I wasn't really surprised, though, because from the moment I opened the box on this vacuum, I was doubting its quality. You know how most big items come in boxes with cardboard or foam shaped around it to hold everything in place and keep it from moving during shipping? Not this vacuum! Everything was just chucked in the box. I actually thought I might have gotten a returned item, except that everything was pristinely clean. After using it, I can tell you for a fact that it ain't gonna be pristine after use. Surprisingly, despite the complete lack of packaging, nothing was broken. The instructions were basic and focused more on NEVER USE IT ON LIQUIDS WITH THE FILTER IN PLACE rather than "these are the pieces we gave you and here's how they work." There was also a flimsy, cheap feeling to the plastic it was made from: you know the feeling.In short, this vacuum works, but use it for broad-term cleaning and don't expect it to contain fine dust. Big chunks you don't want to risk your nice vacuum on or liquids only.

Ok, I was looking for a nice small wet/dry vac to put in my work truck. So, when this became available, I ordered it. Here is what I found:1. Everything about this unit screams “cheap”!! The body does not clam down. Contrary to a review, the vacuum top does NOT seal to the bottom when turned on, rather, it goes the other way as the bottom is pressurized for the debris. The clamps are VERY loose!!!The host is supposed to snap in place and be released by twisting. Surprise, while the hose may more or less snap in, any movement of the hose by pulling the unit along moves the hose which disconnects it from the vacuum unit. Not helpful!!!!The unit is supposed to help cleanup spills, not spread them!!! The wheels are pushed into plugs that are cut into the unit and leak. So, soak up water and then leak it all over the place as you go to empty the unit.2. Ok, so much for what the unit screams. What it moans about is a very short hose! Very short attachments, very short wand. Very short cord. No storage for cord.3. Very low vacuum. This thing hardly sucks and that is NOT a good thing. It is sort of there, but do not expect much. Trying to pull sawdust out of a crack? Forget it. Drilled a hole in concrete and need to remove the dust? Forget it.4. Pressure unit, NOT!! While you can get a stream of air out of it, a can of air has more force.This is an ok general purpose vacuum if only left in place and the hose is NOT moved!!! So, have a small sander that you want a vacuum on? this would work. But, as a shop vac? It fails big time.No, I would NOT recommend this except for single small tool vacuum that is NOT moved.

Wanted a small shop vac for my workshop at my camp. This fits the bill. Has good suction. The top doesn't snap down with a tight seal so i was concerned it would suck air in around the top but once turned on the suction pulls the top down to make a tight air seal. Wheels are like you would find on a rolling chair. I liked that it had a place to coil up the cord. Also has side slots to hold the accessories. I was trying it out in the foyer of my house and twice it tipped over and sucked the ball to the top so you have to pick up and turn off to let the ball drop back down and then turn it back on. Now i will admit it was on a carpet which i won't have in my workshop so it may not be a problem long run on a concrete floor. Overall a good little vac but build is a little flimsy.

***Pros:-powerful blowing & suction-anti-tipping feature-long cord***Cons-non-washable filter-only 1 power levelThe product arrived with the prongs of the electrical plug wedged into the back blowing port. It took me about 15 minutes to wiggle & pry the plug out of the rear hole. This process did not seem to damage the device. I was pleased with the powerful suction and blower features. Unfortunately, there is only 1 power level. Meaning, you can toggle the unit on and off, but cannot increase or decrease the intensity of the device. I took off one star because the vacuum arrived scuffed and had a mild odor, and due to the plug being stuck. Not sure if I received an open-box item, but I'm still pleased with this wet/dry vacuum.

It's a compact little shop vac. I found it real helpful around the house as we mainly use it for small jobs like cleaning the HVAC condensation line and it can easily be stowed away unlike the larger shop vac. Occasionally we do use it for other jobs (like cleaning cars etc.) but if you keep it in the range of small/medium size jobs it will be great. For larger jobs or constant jobs it will probably be under power and under capacity. The hose is long enough and you do get all sort of attachment though nothing fancy. Good thing to have around the house when needed and It's priced really well for what it is

Good suction power, perfect for smaller messes. Very light weight, so I was pleasantly surprised at the power.
