VBVB611PF 1101 6 Gal 5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac w. Detachable Blower

So I admit I got a little excited watching car detailing videos. The Detail Geek does such a good job that I began thinking that maybe I could grow up and do at least half as nice a job as he could. So I Googled around, read on reddit, and found a few options. But the Home Depot one most commonly suggested had some really poor reviews. And when I found this one, I saw it had good features and more horsepower, as well as happy reviews. The price was right, so I picked it up.It's going to do great with the car but at first I've used it in the house. I live in the south and it can get a little cobwebby pretty fast. After the zip through with the regular vacuum, I came along with this one. I used the extension tubes, two of them, plus the crevice tool, and was able to reach ceilings, corners, wood trim along the floor, and other hard to reach places with ease. The suction is great and the house looks nice.You have to screw on the four wheels, which is not really a big deal, one screw each. And I also found my crevice tool inside the actual vacuum. So you may have to take yours apart to find some extensions. That's not difficult. Just pop two clip handles off the side and then pull the motor and filter top off. It doesn't weigh much. As a matter of fact, the whole unit doesn't weigh much at all. It comes with a pretty good power cord that seems to be the same diameter as my heavy duty extension cord that I attached to it so I could roam around the entire house. The vacuum has a thick red handle mounted at the top that also folds down, and when you pull it up and lift the unit with it it's an easy chore. So far, I've enjoyed working with this vacuum a lot and the results on the house have been effective. Will take it out to the car when it stops raining. But given the suction that I've seen so far inside it won't have any problem getting me towards Detail Geek results.

Good product and functions. Bought it to help clear ac drail line clog and it had all the necessary tools to perform the job i wanted to. Has blower option and vaccuming dry and wet options. Go over to youtube if need help on how to setup as the paper that came with it wasnt that clear

Everything about this is great!It’s not overly heavy not to large the suction is strong, picks up everything in places you can’t reach. I love the design with the blower on top. It does have a pretty long hose to reach further back in place you can’t get too. And the wheels are definitely a plus for not o ly stability but also so it just move along with you.

Powerful sucker with effective blower function. Wheels make it easy to move around but light unit regardless. Only used a few times so unsure about longevity. Would recommend on my usage thus far.

While I already have a couple of shop vacs, my main one I frequently leave connected to my table saw. And changing the hose between the saw and the regular extended hose I use for general cleaning was proving to be too tedious as I have aged. The large 2-1/4inch hose and the associated nozzles were awkward to use to get into smaller places like under and around my workbenches and the smaller crevices of my other power saws and CNC equipment. So I began looking around for a versatile and cost effective smaller vacuum and found this unit.So far, it has exceeded my expectations for value, strength, and utility.It is stable dragging around my shop, not tipping over or catching on the various corners of other shop equipment. And it is powerful, easily picking up metal shavings from both drilling and tinsmithing activities along with the usual dust, wood chips, and saw dust.The fact that it can be used as a leaf blower as well I haven't really tried yet. But the fact that you can do that with it is a plus. It's Fall as I write this so I'll be trying it out as a blower soon. It has a convenient carry handle that folds out allowing for two-handed control of the included blower tube. More on that when I finally use it that way.Overall a well made unit with all the features of a larger shop vac but with the perqs of smaller size and the ability to be a handheld leaf blower as well.I suspect the fact that it's powerful as a vacuum will serve it well as a smaller area leaf blower as well as for clearing dirt and dust from gardening activities.

After two years of letting various annoyances build up in my garage, I decided it was time clean house. I considered several options I settled on this shop vac over a traditional vacuum cleaner, even though I had no need for the ability to vacuum up puddles. This things SUCKS and BLOWS in a big way.The first thing I vacuumed was a pile of leaves that had infiltrated the garage, one pile of which a cat had peed on. It handled the leaves expertly with few exceptions that could easly be fixed with a little tap on concreate. It even pulled up a few wood chips from my fire wood pile, though understandbly a few caused problems, that it could even handle any was amazing.Next was a small piles of discarded ethernet terminals and keystones, which it gobbled up with no problems.It also pulled up stripped wire insulation, tiny section of ethernet cables (less than an inch) tiny nuts, bolts screws and small bits of 12 to 23 gauge wire.Then I turned it on the disgusting mess of cob webs, dead insdects and spiders in every corner, crevice and intersection of floor and wall. Dead salamander? no problem. Dead mouse? gone.At one point it did choke on a dust ball mixed with twigs and stuff. But unlike traditional vacuums, the hose can be taken apart and the clog flushed out of a short section with a garden hose. Since it can handle water, there was no need to wait for it to dry.The utility bathroom was the worst. Spiders had nested in the bath tub. Not anymore.Then there is the small space one of the cats had been secretly pooping in. It sucked it all up with a minimal number breaks to clear the hose line. But that did get old, so I turned on the blower, made a small pile in the corner and blew most of it into a dust pan. The rest of the remaining debris was easy to vacuum.Despite being a heavy duty sucking and blowing machine, it remains light weight. Even the hose and power cord are minimal in bulk. It is just enough to meet your needs while still being able to get the job. This was great for me with my chronic pain condition as bulky vacuums just make everything hard and harder means more pain.The power cord is short, but that is great, because there is less tripping over a pointlessly long cable. If you really need a longer run, thats what an extension cord is for. I only needed an extension for about 10% of the job, and was so glad not to have to deal with several feet of needless cords.This shop vac comes highly recommended!

Easy to set up out of the box. Works great! Pulls dirt out from deep in the carpet. Bucket seems really sturdy, all the attachments are quality and fit the hoses perfect. I use an extractor tip when shampooing auto carpets, pulls liquid with ease! Moves along the ground pretty decent. The detachable blower makes it very portable, and man does it blow!

Let me tell you I love it. I washed the out side patio mats 20x20 it tucked the water up i used the blower to get most of it out then started getting the water up. I needed it as dry as possible for my carpet I the house. With a 100 lb shepherd galavanting in and out. Great suction blower had good air. I am able to clean up in the garage, and then turn around and blow out whatever's left with the same unit, and I don't have to go chase something else down.

This is for the US, it is not compatible for the UK. I had to buy a separate adapter converter which cost over £100 and it still does not work unfortunately.

Whoever designed this vacuum/blower combo really put some thought into it. The fact that this is a 2-in-1 Wet Dry Shop Vacuum AND Leaf Blower is awesome and reduces the need to buy and store 2 large items. It claims to be 5HP which is in the upper power range for these types of devices but I have no way to test, however both sucking and blowing functions great.. very powerful. The way the motor attaches and disengages with the base is solid and is easy to manage, the plastic is of high quality and has a slight textured finish that in comfortable provides good grip. It does not tip over easily when pulled around and the wheels work fine. I'm not going to dock a star for this, but this would be even better if ALL the attachments could be stored on the canister itself. The smaller brush end and nozzle do fit into the top of the legs, but the hose and blower wand do not. If they were to ever redesign this maybe there is a way to keep everything together.. but honestly I am really nit picking. The price was very reasonable and I can easily recommend this.. I regularly use this on my condo's patio/gardens, car detailing, and whenever I have a DIY project around the house. Unless you are a contractor/professional or have a serious shop, anything more is probably overkill.

Amazing little powerhouse! I have a long haired dog and not only is this used to clean the outside, but I use it in my carpet and it puts my shark and cordless vacuum to rest. The suction and power blower are very strong for my needs. Great value for the price!

Compact avec 5hp ...donc plus puissante que des aspirateur 2 a 3 fois plus grande qui ont de 2,5 a 4hp en générale. Bon ok ça reste du TOUT plastique, mais j'ai 48 ans et par expérience les moteurs d, aspirateurs de garage ont la même durée de vie qu'elle soient en inox ou en plastique...donc pourquoi payé plus cher pour de l,inox surtout que les 2 rouille pas 🤣 hein !!!! La tête se retire, vraiment cool 😎 ...le seul gros point négatif c'est le, embout pour planché de garage...les compagnies croient qu'ont est tous millionnaire avec des beau gros garage au plancher parfaitement plat et/ou en epoxy...BEN NON 🙂‍↔️ mon planché est ruff et rugueux..donc leur embout pour beau tu planché fonctionne pas bien sur le sol et c'est pas hyper solide comme accessoires. Par contre vu son moteurs puissant je peux l'utiliser pour la branché sur mon depoussiereur qui lui est branché a mon p'tit planeur DeWalt. En gros bien content de mon achat par contre pas encore essayé de siphonner de l'eau et j'espère qu'elle tiendra le coup quelques années .

I bought this when it was on sale. I’m really happy with it. Although I have not used the wet feature yet, I’m very grateful for the suction power and the blower function. I just wish the cord was longer because I always have to attach an extension to it to get around the garage to the other side of my car or vacuum anything outside the perimeter of the machine. But very happy with this. I was able to find some filters here on Amazon as well that are not VBVB (hich are too expensive) and they fit perfectly.
