    This sucks.

    • +2

      and also makes stuff wet

    • +2

      It also blows.

    • +2

      Can I use it for that purpose?

      • +2

        All sources point to yes.

  • +1

    Honestly how can you go wrong for $57?

    sadly doesn’t include cartridge filter….

    This is an amazing buy. I’ve abused mine for years and years with both liquid and paint dust and it’s been fantastic. I’d pick up a cloth filter at the same time which is a special buy.

    • +1

      Do you have a link for the cloth filter?

        • +2

          For others, there’s one included. But you’ll eventually need a second and since they’re special order you can’t just walk in and pick one up.

        • "Special order item you can’t get unless you want wait 4 months waste of time and money effort." by one review. Not sure of the stock now.

    • +1

      What is the cloth filter for?

      • The unit comes with one. It stops dust getting into the motor. Since they’re special order I just suggest picking up a spare for when you need it since they’re $5.

        • Thanks, can you use the vacuum without the dust bag for vacuuming the garage or is the dust bag required if you're not using it in wet mode?

          • +1

            @Alex10: You can use it without a dust bag

          • +2

            @Alex10: You can use it without a dust bag for larger size dirt and debris. For anything fine you use the bag.

    • +1

      Is the foam filter necessary as well, or just the cloth one?

    • Mine's been great too.

  • Is this as powerful as the ones at car clean stations?

  • +4

    So is it not good for the home? Or very good for the home considering it's good for the great Aussie outdoors

    • +2

      It's good for the home because it's very light (which makes such a difference), the nozzle is small and its basic, just works. In fact refuses to die.
      It's not good because it's super loud and the handle falls apart (once it gets a bit old) and it's not long enough for a tall person. Also the drum falls over and attachments could be better quality.
      Overall good basic sturdy lightweight vacuum let down only by cheap plastic handle. 6/10. Bought it to clean a bed, suction not really strong enough to replace a Bissell. Use it instead as a vacuum cleaner.
      Edit to say that I have the 12l one. And didn't tell the proper upholstery cleaning attachment.

  • can i use this around the house? or is it mainly for workplaces

    • +7

      This is designed to be almost an expendable vacuum that you abuse. It can suck water, fine dust or any other rubbish that you want. You use this instead of your expensive Dyson when you don’t want your Dyson to break.

      It’s great for sucking up liquids or vacuuming the car. Also great if you do a lot of DIY and don’t want to suck fine particles or liquid into your Dyson.

      It comes with dust bags which you throw out. It’s not supposed to be a daily home vacuum.

      • +4

        Take out the bag if you're sucking liquids.

        • +1

          Correct. You’re also supposed to use the foam filter instead of the blue cloth filter.

      • +5

        Can vouch that the Dyson doesn't like brick drilling dust

  • +6

    Complimentary tinnitus?

    • Maybe wear protection.

      • +2

        Really look funny with condoms over my ears. They don't really stop the noise.

  • Might be a stupid question, but can you use it as a Spot Cleaner? Meaning you spray water your couch, then use the wet function to suck up the water. The head doesn't look flat so might not be able to do it properly.

    • +2

      Need to buy a different head for it, but my mate uses one of these for spot cleaning

    • +8

      Yes, and it will do a far better job than all the more expensive dedicated spot cleaners on the market

      Edit: Per Yer's comment, you will need an "upholstery claw" style of attachment. The translucent ones are the best because you can easily see the colour of what you are extracting and can tell when the surface is clean and dry.

    • I do. Used a Stanley wet & dry vac on fabric seats and was amazed at how much dirt it pulled out compared to regular dry vacuuming. As pointed out you need to purchase the attachment linked above, also use the foam filter as you are vacuuming liquid.

  • +1

    These are great for the purpose. Use it for stuff you would never use your meile vacuum for. Doesn’t miss a beat.
    My only negs are if it tips over it seems to break the seal, so I have to reseat the lid; and it is one loud MF.
    Recommend you wear noise canceling earphones/headphones when using it.

    • Better with earplugs and earmuffs. Was reading somewhere that apparently the earphones and headphones don't normally provide full ear protection even if they are noise cancelling. Think its got more to do with creating a barrier to block the noisy environment (sound isolation, i think)

    • Ive used this to suck up water from a flooded factory floor after an initial squeegee. It required a lot of emptying but sure beat using a mop and wringing it out constantly..

  • 12 litre for 50.

  • +5

    My experience with the 12L version of this vacuum is only average. I bought it thinking it's a low-risk purchase at around $50 but now I know I would rather spend a bit more and get something better because the quality on this is not that great IMO.

    1. The hose is not nearly flexible enough. When I am vacuuming something, fighting with a rather rigid hose becomes very annoying very quickly. This becomes an even bigger problem when I am vacuuming my car, as the hose keeps pulling the vacuum and it can hit the car, or the hose itself can scratch the insides or the car body.

    2. The vacuum sometimes stops sucking and I'm not sure what goes wrong, but to fix it, I have to take the top vacuum part off the bucket and put it back on.

    3. It is louder than I thought it would be.

    Sure its only $50 or $57 so one can just replace it, but just don't buy this thinking it will be the same quality as a more expensive brand.

    • What is the next level up

      • +1

        There's a Ryobi at $119 with very positive reviews - https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-20l-stainless-steel-wet-dr…. Obviously much more expensive but hopefully won't make me curse every time I use it.

      • +4

        The often around $100 Bosch is far better than this. Even at full price (>$160) it's a great deal and competes with vacuums at 3-4 times the price for equivalent airwatts.

        • +1

          Thanks, price alert with the camels now set.

        • +1

          Should I get the Bosch or the Ozito to hook up to the table saw for cheap dust extraction?

          • +1

            @plastic spoon: I used a bigger version of the ozito for a while hooked up to a DeWalt table saw. It worked, but it is loud AF. That is really me only main negative of the thing. I ended up building a MDF box to put the thing in to try and dampen the noise.

        • Thanks! Have you got one yourself? Mind telling me the height of it? Wanting to get one but want to see if it will fit in my ute. Can you run it as a bagless?

        • Thanks, ordered the Bosch (currently $116)

    • +2

      I don't have these problems, but I'm experienced at handling a large rigid hose.

      • -1

        Can vouch - no hose is too big or too rigid for LowRange. Two for one Tuesdays are fantastic value too. A+++

      • Your wife agree with that statement?

    • +1

      I went through something similar. My use case is mostly sawdust and DIY - so not total abuse (ie cleaning up dirt and liquid. Wet and dry vacuums certain can do liquid, but it shortens the life span immensely)

      Essentially, these cheap vacuums are very loud, brittle, don't have great suction nor filtration. When you are working with dust, you want a high grade of filtration.

      Additionally, the bloody hoses and fittings seem to be more expensive than the unit and motor!!

      In the end, I spent more for a Makita unit because it came bundle with a track saw that I was also in the market for. It was a much larger financial outlay, but I have all quality accessories, strong castors, HEPA filter etc.

      Buy once, cry once.

    • Or empty it into a plastic bag outside & reuse it.

  • +2

    I bought one of these specifically to change the sand in the pool filter. Did the job perfectly.

    • Thank you so much for the idea, I've been needing to do the same and didn't think about it.

      EDIT: Do you need the cloth filter to use it to remove the sand or will it be fine without the filter?

      • leave the cloth (foam) filter in there, stops any sand/glass getting to the motor. You can rinse it out after.

    • Seconded. This is what I primarily purchased one for, which it did perfectly - and doubles as a great way to clean the pool area surrounds too. No more fine leaves/debris to try and round up as this thing Hoover's it all up.

  • -1

    I need a vacuum anyone know where I can get a Henry vacuum cheap

    • They are overly expensive here. If you can, buy one from the UK.

  • Great for minor digging if you live somewhere with sandy soil. Use mine without the bag when doing sprinkler work in the garden and trying to find pipes.

  • can i use these to clean shutter blinds?

  • I bought one of these thinking it would be good to vacuum dirt/leaves/etc in an outdoor area. It clogs easily, particularly with leaf litter.

    • with or without the dust bag? How many dust bags come with the vacuum? I see replacement dust bags 5 pack is $13.89

      • With or without the dust bag, the thing just does not like leaves.

  • -3

    Would this work for raw-dogging pet urine and poo without having to pick them up first? I take it you can just hose out the inside?

    • +2

      That's disgusting and yes.

    • +4

      Vacuum cleaners don't clean up smells.

      Sounds like an awful way to stink up the place.

    • Lol brilliant idea 🐶 🐱

    • +2

      Sounds like extra steps. Now you have to clean a metal object with smeared pet poo versus just picking it up with a bag and putting into the bin.

    • I'd consider buying the Kmart (or bissel) extraction vacuum for that purpose. not sure why you're getting negged

  • I bought the 11/12L a couples of weeks ago. Good for garage.

  • Totally different prices, but does anyone know if the 18V or 36V versions of this product are any good?

    • You'd definitely be trading power for portability. Unless you're taking it in the ute daily I'd doubt it's worth the trade-off.

  • Thanks boss just bought one, 3 left at bunnings cs

  • +1

    Wil it do gutters with damp leaves and sludge?

    • +2

      The reviews say people do it. Would it be without a dry bag or with?

    • +2

      I tried it (with a different brand of vac) and would say it's not really designed to pick up sludge as it's so viscous. Also clogged up the vacuum head, hose and filter very quickly. Ended up scooping it out by hand.

  • +1

    Does anyone know if this one's hose is longer than the 12L?

    • I am also wondering the same.

      • +3

        The length on the 12L is quite ridiculous. Can't sand anything above head height

  • Is this 20L vacuum as loud is the 12L version? (12L one is very loud)

    • +1

      I have the 20L Ozito one that uses the power xchange batteries. It has lasted for years and I don’t find it particularly loud.

      • I have both. The battery one is much quieter but also less powerful.

    • +2

      It is very very loud. I have this 20L for dust collection on table saw with a cheapo cyclone and bucket. I feel bad for the neighbours with table saw and Vac running!!!! 🫣🫣

      • I need a cyclone setup.

        I'm just using mine plugged directly into a planer…. It's not ideal.

        Where to find a cheap cyclone?
        (I don't have a big 3d printer to print one).

        PSA: the Ozito shopvacs are fantastic. My setup is suboptimal.

        • +2

          EBay was cheapest I could find. Like 32 bucks I think it was. That and a bucket from bunnings, some cheap vacuum hose from Amazon or ebay plus some adapters from timbecon and old bike tube to make it all airtight and it's awesome!!!! 99% of dust and chips go into the bucket. Was like $140-150 or so all up and really has surpassed expectations!!! Incredible with the router!!! I also got these rubber adapters from Amazon that I could cut to diff size / mould to diff ports with boiling water as all my tools seem to have diff size dust ports (cheap-ass tools, some decent ones). DM me if ya want any more info 👍👍

          • @hoboonthegogo: I would like to know where you got the adaptors from, I swear every tool I have has a different sized dust port.

            • +2

              @plastic spoon: https://www.amazon.com.au/Universal-Attachment-Extraction-Co…

              Got a heap of these and have 1 on the end of the vac hose. Then have put these onto all of my tools with them all terminating on the end of the 2nd biggest ring (35mm one), so that the end on the vac jams onto all the tools for nice snug fit. If these won't fit on the tools dust port they can be stretched a fair bit when put in boiling water for 30 secs or so (was able to fit them on all tools apart from Table saw which has huge dust pot so got a step down adapter from timbecon and one of these for that). Works awesome, all tools end up with same port and happy days :-)

          • @hoboonthegogo: Thanks. Very helpful.
            I've found a few dust port adaptors on stlfinder and a friend has a 3d printer. So that's worked for the odd Bosch thing to ozito shopvac hose.
            Would never have thought of using something like old bike tube as a gasket, that's a great idea.
