        Hmmm. More power means more electricity used, but less power means more kJ I have to use to vacuum which means more food intake… hmmm

          Although you use more power with this, it might be worth considering that it's likely faster to clean up with (as a result of the increased wattage), leading to an overall lowering of energy used as you have it running for less time….

          Assuming efficiencies are the same anyway. Which they probably aren't 🤔

          • asa79 on 11/10/2018 - 07:28

            @kale chips suck: This is the small version 12 Litre, so i dont think it will clean that fast

            • rhino015 on 11/10/2018 - 10:08

              @asa79: That'd only make sense if you were filling up the 12L frequently and having to empty it all the time was slowing you down.

        • abb on 11/10/2018 - 10:43

          No, more power would mean you need to use more kJ (all else being equal), because the greater suction would mean there is more friction between the vacuum tool head and the floor.

        Plus with the Bunnies Ozito one, odds are it will be in stock or easily sourced if you actually need to replace it so you can likely walk in with the dead unit and walk out with a replacement. Good luck doing that with the ALDon't one in 3 months.

    • timps on 10/10/2018 - 21:30
      +5

      It's a wet dry vac. It can suck up water, sawdust, bolts, wet leaves.
      You can shove it in reverse to clean the woodshop, blow out the house for blockages.

      It's noisier and more awkward and a whole other beast to a vacuum you'd use to just clean the carpet.

        • rhino015 on 11/10/2018 - 10:12

          I haven't tried cordless vacuums in the car, but i find the more power the better. It's hard to get all of those little ingrained bits of dirt etc out of the carpet in the foot well. And it's really not that bigger deal if you have a garage to plug the vacuum in. it only has to move between 2 spots/sides.

  • TightAssDude on 10/10/2018 - 21:44

    These are great for outdoor enclosed areas.

  • ayad on 10/10/2018 - 21:51

    What does it mean by 'wet vacuum'? is it applying some water based product on the carpet and it sucks it up? (lel)

    • kale chips suck on 10/10/2018 - 23:15
      +2

      It means that the machine has an internal float that stops water getting to the electrical bits, so it's safe to use to vacuum up fluids.

      I use mine when I need to dig some holes for fenceposts, or whatever.

      I use my pressure washer to blast the hole and then the wet and dry vacuum to get the water and sludge out of the hole (which is full of water, usually, as I have clay for soil and it doesn't dissipate). Repeat if I need a bigger/deeper hole.

      My mum's place sometimes floods and she's got one as a "mop".

      • gimme on 11/10/2018 - 04:48

          Beware. Using your vacuum cleaner as a toilet will void the warranty.

          I was also thinking noone over 70 should be complaining about not being able to find work!

          On a serious note I am not having to do removal, the house I am in is a typical fibro clad house with a fibro clad garage. I do a lot of work fixing things up and use the garage as a workshop. The roof of the garage is an old fibro roof in good nick buck its unpainted and theres no internal sheeting in the garage. I was thinking that over the years with the expansion and contraction of the material with fluctuating temperatures, there may have been a significant enough amount of fibro dropped to cause an issue. So when i am vaccuming saw dust in there from a project I would like to know that should there be any fibro particles they are being captured.

      They will expressly not honour the warranty if you use your trade card. They claim it's not for trade use. I've had this discussion with them already. Not sure if it's legal if you've legit used it at home.

      • hashtagbargain on 10/10/2018 - 23:34

        Woah I’ve never thought about my purchases from this angle.

          Yup, same. I first learned of it when I bought a Ryobi air nailer for my garage - not used in my trade (heavy industry) in any way - and staff initially rejected replacing it when it failed after 4 hours of use.

          They didn't want to, that was just policy. I was fortunate that they replaced it anyway.

          The Ozito batteries are in the same class.

      ive used mine without bags, just the felt elastic bag over the filter.

      It works okay, but largely depends on what you want to suck up. If it's large stuff, it all sits in the bottom no issues, however if it's a fine dust - it will clog the bag (i assume that would be when you use the paper bag)

      • s3th2000 on 11/10/2018 - 00:03

        I bought one a few months back, and not a big fan - wish I bought a more expensive ryobi one. The problem is the felt elastic bag can't be replaced. I didn't realise that, and threw it out because it was covered in crap. Now I have to stick to the paper bags (which are nearly the price of the damn vacuum).

        The larger ozito and ryobi ones have filters that can be replaced.

      You can use the bag if you want to use it on dry dirt and dust etc, and it's a lot less messy when you empty it.
      If you are using it for heavy dirt etc, or anything wet dont use the bag, you can just tip the drum out into the bin.

    I had a larger wet vac a couple of years ago, not this brand. It also had a plastic pipe and it was very weak, you can't put much pressure on it when using it or the pipe would bend and eventually broke.
    Not sure how strong this one is but if you want one that will last, and do some heavy duty cleanups get one with a metal pipe, but for this price hard to go wrong.

Tried it out by tipping water and it sucked it up beautifully. I think this will do the job just fine. Only gripe will be that the tank would be very small and will need to keep tipping the water more frequently. Excellent machine for this price.
