AA255W 2.5 Gal 2 Peak HP Wet/Dry Utility Vac Orange/Black

This utility vacuum is worth every penny. We are always finding more reasons to grab it instead of our high-end upright vacuum cleaner because it's so convenient and efficient. And, of course, when it comes to vacuuming anything wet it's our go-to solution. We had a plumbing leak that soaked about half of the carpet in one of our bedrooms. The Armor All vac was so effective that we were able to save the carpet, and it pulled so much dirt out of the carpet that our regular vacuum must have been missing that the carpet looked like it had been shampooed! We used it to suction out the discharge pipe from our air conditioner and the amount we saved from not having to call a plumber paid for the vacuum at least twice over. The cord length is generous, the attachments are well-designed, and the noise level is lower than our upright vac's. We use the blower to get rid of leaves and cobwebs on our front steps and back porch. Totally satisfied, and I'd gladly recommend it to friends and family.

I am genuinely in love with this little beast. I live in a sandy area where grit gets into everything, and over the years I've watched sand destroy multiple vacuums, including a Dyson that didn't make it six months before the fine particles chewed through its internals. This shop vac? Unfazed. Now my routine is dead simple: sweep the sand into piles, fire this thing up, and suck it all clean. No fuss, no clogs, no grinding death rattles. It handles the sand like it's nothing. And the dog hair: I've got three heavy shedders, and this vac makes quick work of it on both hardwood and vinyl. Doesn't scatter it around like some vacuums do. Just gone. What I love: Strong suction — The 2 Peak HP is no joke. It pulls up debris you'd expect to need a full-size unit for. Perfect size — The 2.5-gallon tank hits the sweet spot. Big enough to handle a whole room of mess, small enough to carry one-handed up stairs or toss in the trunk. The wheel-base and top handle make it genuinely portable. Blower function — Flick the hose to the other port and suddenly you're clearing leaves off the driveway or blasting sand out of the garage. Takes seconds to convert. Storage that makes sense —The hose wraps onto the body, the cord tucks away, and the nozzles clip right on. Everything stays together instead of disappearing into the black hole of the garage. 13 accessories included — Three extension wands, crevice tool, blower nozzle adapter, deluxe car nozzle, round dust brush, detail brush, 2-in-1 utility nozzle, floor brush/squeegee nozzle, plus both a reusable cloth filter and a foam wet filter. You're not nickel-and-dimed buying extras. The 12-ft cord and 6-ft hose give you decent reach without constantly hunting for a new outlet. Bottom line: If sand, pet hair, or general debris has been murdering your household vacuums, get this. It's tough, simple, and does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended, and I haven’t even tried it in my car yet..

Purchased this after asking AI about vacuums to get beach sand out of my cars. The small battery powered vacuums just don’t cut it. This works like a dream - almost as must suction as a car wash vacuum, powerful, and sucked up all sand. Small form factor doesn’t take up much space. Hose wraps around and clips in place. All attachments clip on the vacuum. I am very happy with this purchase and highly recommend.

Bought a second Armor All shop vac from the already opened section without wheels at a great price. Having one on each floor is super helpful. Accessibility saves time for a quick suck, and each serves a different purpose. Without wheels makes storage easier. Having extra interchangeable parts from my first purchase makes adding an arm extension easy without requiring expense and a second wheeled unit. Owning an original Shop Vac, regular vacuum, plus a Dirt Devil mini made me crave a different model that could do it all but not fell short on ability. Be light, hold more for large continuous cleanings, but not be so big or awkward navigating certain projects. Like the stair case. Or clean up after a Reno project of a vintage property. Caring for a feral community within an indoor cardio during their journey from TNR to touch and purr. Having the wheels and elongated extension serves us very well in many projects. A second unit able to store in the Catio closet is a game changer. Quick clean access is more motivating and less distracting, for me. Compared to the dirt devil in longevity, filter, and ability to manage not only cat needs but German Shepherd seasonal nick name Sheds a Lot one and done job. Rather than multiple attempts with a refuse collector. Though all our other style vacuums have served us well over the years prior to this property. The size of this vintage house and design from the turn of the century in 1900 includes an attic, full size basement including a workshop, and two floors with lots of rooms. Having cleaning tools like a broom and pan on each floor and vacuum options that manage the task at hand per floor are key to our household cleaning strategy. This medium sized powerhouse with its versatility and extensions plus washable and replaceable filter system is my favorite compared to all other units. Not only for size and ability but overall cost compared the larger regular size shop vac. Replacement filters add up. Tossing collection bags over time add up in cost. This little beast is easy to dump into a receptacle. Rinse the filter. Sure, maybe itty bitty particles get through. Justifying the replacement filter expense long term and the waste they create even with a sub and save discount is not worth the cost, imo. This unit comes with a dust cover collector and mesh sponge like filter. Find these adequate. We have experienced zero dust problems during use. While empty wrap the trash bag around the container. Dump. Wait a few moments for the dust to settle. Close the bag. No problems for us. Hope this review update is helpful. If you visit the opened, return, and damage box section could save a little extra. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😁 /\ update Beyond impressed. For half a dozen years have used a repurposed shop vac from Goodwill that has been exceptional for $25. It still works. The only thing I’d wished was different is maneuverability. It’s bulky and in an ideal world a smaller machine as capable was a wish. Here we are. Brilliant lil’ machine. What wows me, everything. Plentiful attachments cover both wet and dry. The two filter covers. Easy to clean and reuse. Way better than the shop vac that requires a big expensive filter replacement to maintain. Right here this lil’ buddy pays for itself in less replacement filters for shop vac. The down side on dry, this doesn’t use a bag. So be aware, careful to not breath in dust or where a mask when emptying. And, do outside so as to maintain your home. As dust might disperse everywhere when dumped. The wheels. It comes with screws. To secure the wheels to the vacuum. But could go without and on wheels when on the floor moving around. For people thinking attachments are missing, open the vacuum compartment. The hose and a few extras are inside. The guide is very detailed. Helpful. Advise reading to know how to do the wet verses dry options for appropriate use. Someone mentioned the power cord is short. It’s perfect for a room. But, using your extension cord for jobs like in my basement where there’s only two outlets is helpful. Or, if using this in my Jeep would need an extension from the outlet to help offer length. The variety of head options for diversity is wonderful. A couple of detail options with brushes will help. Like, if you have small spaces to clean of dust or debris. Very excited to have this device to help with a vintage property during renovations. Making vacuuming easier in awkward spaces. Like steps. Basement under stairs, etc. Listed on the vacuum is the initials for replacement filters if needed. What’s provided vibe durable and washable. Lots of uses available of a consistent user, like myself. Do I think $59 is worth it? YES. After six years using the most recognizable brand having searched for many years for a second option that’s portable, this is it. I’ve tried the Dirt Devil. Vacuum. The stand up type. In comparison this vac with the long hose will demand better results that the DS and less dealing with that devices small dust compartment. Very happy with this purchase for our needs at this price. With wood floors and a German Shepherd am excited to have better help maintaining floors and helping with renovations. Another plus, the hose is so long and multiple options for nozzles will have an easy time cleaning the exposed basement ceiling. If you’re looking for a multipurpose vac that can tackle tasks in the shop, kitchen, garage, basement, and many others like pet hair to vehicle’s like Jeeps and other utility vehicles this could be your win. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

I bought this because my home vacuum broke and I bought an e-vac instead, but I still need to vacuum air purifiers, ceiling fans, my car, etc. So, this works well for those occasions. It's pretty loud, but that's expected. No heppa filter, but this isn't expensive. It does what I need it to do and is light weight.

I am so happy with this Shop type vacuum. My air conditioner was leaking water and I had to vacuum it frequently. This is very easy to use. It has a much better attachment for sucking up the water than my old big shop vac. I’m 72-year-old woman and this is so much easier to use. It has a huge amount of attachments for vacuuming in a car. Also, the cord is nice and long. I couldn’t be happier. Very easy to put together and easy for me to carry around. It has great suction. And the price was very good! All of the tubing is longer than my big shop vac also. I will add to this if I need to later. I just got it today with a shipment today order.

I purchased this for casual car cleaning and detailing in my garage, along with other related cleaning. It's hard to say a bad word about it, especially for the price. I find it to be the perfect size for this type of use. The larger options are harder to store, and I don't believe I'd ever be filling them up for typical home use. The little handheld battery-powered options (of which I have a well-reviewed version) are never powerful enough. This Armor All 2.5 gallon sits perfectly in between the two. Power is not an issue and suction is stronger than I expected for a small, affordable unit. It's lightweight enough to carry around when you need to and compact enough to move around and store easily if you're limited on space, plus the wheels roll well (so far). The noise level isn't quiet but also not obnoxious like some of the larger units. It's wet/dry capable, which can always come in handy, and while it doesn't feel rugged or heavy duty, it also doesn't feel cheap. If I have to be a stickler for details, I'd say the attachment selection is solid for a variety of spaces and materials, but the ones designed for tight crevices and spaces (between seats, for example), aren't really narrow or long enough to fit in some of those spaces, which is a bummer. The lid attachment also isn't super tight and snug, but I didn't notice any issues while using the vacuum. Lastly, the cord length could always be longer, as you'll almost certainly need an extension cord for moving around all sides of a vehicle. None of these critiques were significant enough to remove a star from the rating, though, as I'm happy with the purchase and performance for the price.

It’s exactly what I needed. My apartment floors are all tile and I have three cats so I needed something to pick up the kitty litter they track around and to pick up all the fur embedded in all my area rugs. This vacuum is the perfect size for an apartment and all the attachments allow me to clean the spaces between the tiles and along the wall , my sofa annd chair upholstery and in their cat houses. It’s great for getting cat hair and litter. Absolutely love it. And the reusable, washable filter cover is nice.

This little wet/dry vac is awesome! It is light weight, small so it's easy to store but powerful. I use it to vacuum out my exhaust vents and ERV unit. It comes with lots of attachments and a long power cord and hose. When I use it up on a ladder I take it off the wheeled base but the base with the casters makes it easy to move around my apartment. I am really impressed with this little machine!

Very happy

I'm pleased with this vacuum. It isn't large but has great suction. Unlike most vacuums I looked at it actually has a range of attachments-a huge plus.It has the narrow crack attachment, a round and rectangular brush attachment. There is also a small brush attachment that is awesome for getting into small spots around monitors etc.There is a flatish one for the floor and lastly there is an attachment for picking up liquids. Five of them have a spot on the vacuum for easy reach. The three extensions also have a spot on the vacuum. I put it together in about 5 minutes and finished the job I bought it for quickly. Obviously I just got it but I would recommend it if you are looking for something for regular household jobs that is reasonably priced and actually has attachments. Most vacuums I checked had one attachment and so you can add another 30$ and up for attachments if you need them. It's also pretty light and with the rear wheels it's moves easily.

Dejó de funcionar al mes de uso

Il fait bien le job pour les petits nettoyages, que ce soit de la poussière ou des liquides. Les accessoires inclus sont utiles, et le format est facile à transporter et à ranger. Par contre, je trouve qu’il manque un peu de puissance, surtout pour aspirer des saletés plus lourdes ou incrustées. Pour un usage léger, il est nickel, mais si vous cherchez quelque chose de vraiment puissant, il faudra peut-être regarder un modèle au-dessus.
