Assembled in ten minutes and used it to clean shavings and sawdust from the workshop floor. Seems very effective and the floor attachment gets into corners well. Not too noisy and small enough to store where the old Vax wet and dry used to be with space to spare. I have not used it on swarf or power tools yet but have every confidence it will do the job. Looks quite well made for the money.2 weeks later: I have now used this as a dust extractor with a Bosch planer. The project was replacement of 12 internal doors so there were a lot of shavings! The Vacmaster bag was full to the gunwhales after the last door but suction was still pretty much perfect, i.e all shavings were collected. I have never been able to achieve this efficiency with the cleaners or even the old Vax wet and dry. Wish I’d bought this yonks ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best hoover ever

Very light, and really powerful !!. Nice long hose easy to reach inside the car. Used to spend hours hoovering the car with my old hoover, could have saved hours of my life if I'd bought one of these earlier. The suction is fantastic hoovers the car out in minutes instead of hours. It also has the added advantage of a blow function and wet a dry pick up. Best hoover I've ever had.

See title...It turns out that my example wasn't kaput after all! So I'm actually glad that my return request was ignored by the seller.The cutting out was a result of there being a trip switch on the supply side of the motor. This wasn't related to the reduced volume the vac was able to pick off, but was in fact the cause of the premature stopping at 8 litres from the vac's promised 20.The solution? Let it overnight and go again next day, that period being a much more manageable 15 minutes as found when I forgot about the trip.This, of course, is perfectly normal for any device that's in contact with excess heat and the vac has been going fine ever since.The impact of my using it for clearing the (wet) wet floor that typically sits at around 22 C had been a safeguarding measure all along.So how about the manual informing their buyers about this characteristic (not fault) of the VacMaster? Would it have killed them to put this information up to the users' instruction book?I'm still going to reduce the star count from 100% to 80% because not every owner will be an engineer by profession!But, by reading the above, instances of this safety device doing its job, perhaps at least some non-technical users can enjoy issue free use of their VacMasters for many years ahead.So yes, I think it's worth the money and there's no denying that now, the vac does a darned good job.So buy one if you're prepared to let it have the occasional break from its work in hot, steamy conditions.In dry mode, the VacMaster is easily more efficient than my older, more conventional machine so mine is definitely back in my good books again.Why did I not add this information sooner?Simple; I didn't want to post my findings before I'd tested the vac thoroughly in all conditions so that I could say, with confidence, that this vac is a seriously decent contender, especially especially at its competitive cost.Thanks for reading, hope I've been more helpful than confusing.Jaye ××

I bought this to do some serious dust removal while planing a concrete floor to remove tile adhesive. It did the job very well. Great suction with or without the bag. Easy to fit and remove the bag and easy to clean. The blower functionality is very useful for general cleanup of tools. The only downside is that the long-handled plastic "broom" is completely useless. It comes in 3 sections (probably to aid packaging) so it is very flimsy and easily falls apart. Luckily I had kept a sturdy metal attachment from an old defunct cleaner that fits well - so I use that instead. On balance, however, I am giving this little vacuum 5 stars as it is incredibly good value for money in terms of performance and function Vs what I paid for it (plus - worth mentioning it is easy to get spares and accessories) (The same cannot be said for other "value" products from other manufacturers where it is near impossible to get bags and filters!)

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good hoover

I spent days trying to find something that would suit me and this is it. I Love it. I have trouble with my hands but this has made, life better for me. Everything is easy. No need for bags and I can open it to empty it. The suction is brilliant. The cord is a bit short but the hose is long. It isn't heavy and it moves with you easily. The noise level is okay as well. I dreaded hoovering but not now.

Why did you choose this product over others?:I read reviews watched customer videos and compared prices with reviews and for other similar items and this came out on top.  It has not disappointed me. I have been pulling my kitchen out taking the walls back to brickwork plumbing electrics the lot and I needed a vacuum the would be up to the job and it is. Would recommend this vacuum to anyone who needs a robust vacuum with great suction and large capacity for the picked up waste. Has a blower as well which I have only used by mistake when working out how to use it. Even able to attach sanders directly to it.

Excellent little vac. Lightweight but powerful. Power tool socket function works a treat! Long lead and hose.

Great vacuum for site clean ups

And is a bargain at the price. One thing to keep in mind the vacuum cleaner comes with a UK plug so you will need to have the plug rewired to suit your location or we purchased an UK to Australia power adaptor

Good product for the money, pity I can't use it

Ordered this from the au website but when it arrived it had a UK power plug on it. Therefore unable to plug it in and use it, why would Bolo send an electric appliance to a prime member living in Australia with another countries power plug attached.Bolo you can do better.

Great suction, but deafening screeching whistle.

B.S. · 8 June 2024

At first I really liked this vacuum, but after a couple of months of light use it developed an incredibly loud shrieking whistle while in operation. I understand vacuums are not quiet devices. When I first got it, the noise was just a loud engine sound, as expected. But the whistle which developed is absolutely DEAFENING. I almost cannot use it now. I have to wear earplugs, and even then the noise is almost intolerable.So, PROS:- Really good suction. The best I've ever seen. Sucks everything - even socks on the floor get sucked up and shoot down the hose like bullets. Cannot fault that.- Fairly basic and easy to disassemble.- Actually much lighter than expected, easy to carry and move around.CONS:- The screeching noise is a whole new level of loud.- Pretty cheap and flimsy plastic construction.If I went back in time, I probably would not buy it and would try another brand with similarly good reviews. But it definitely does what you expect a vacuum to do.
