    Isn't this the normal price?

    Can confirm this sucks.

        Whooosh!

      I didn’t think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows.

      • That will be a 12 then … (mind set to circa 1980ish)

  • +5

    also confirming this is terrible. source: myself and multiple people regrettably buying.

    • aldi one better?

    • +2

      why? not enough sucks? too noisy?

        I bought one roughly two years ago for small workshop / water related jobs. (Eg taking water out of blocked drain).

        It does okay with the vacuuming part at first, but its build quality wasn’t great and it went downhill from there.

        The metal is rather flimsy and where the hose connects to the drum would flex and bend as I moved the hose around when vacuuming. This would reduce suction significantly.

        I’d buy the bigger Ozito version again, just not this one.

      Can confirm it sucks, don’t know why people regret buying it as mine sucks hard.

      Sucks water, dirt, dust and doesn’t complain

  • Aldi have one on sale.

    This vacuum has been the unsung hero of my home renovation. I'm not sure why people don't like it?

      I bought one cheap second-hand to suck sludge out of my cellar.
      It was in rough shape to start with (rust holes in the drum and all) and I hammered the little sucker - dozens of loads of sludge with a Chux cloth as a filter - but it finished the job without issue.
      Didn't use it again for a while and turns out mud got into the impeller, unbalanced it and Magic Smoke escaped.
      I have little doubt it would have lasted fine without the abuse.

      It seems like a decent buy for the price if you don't mind an unsophisticated and noisy unit.

        I've had two in the last 6 years and treated them horribly. Used around a building site, clean up a pool and the surrounding, absolutely no complaints. My first one gave up because I replaced no parts and ran without the foam for ages 😂
        My current one is still going strong 💪

        Yep I've also owned this for the past 3 years and it's EXCELLENT. It's cheap and kinda nasty with the attachments but it SUCKS well.

        Dry mode sucks more powerfully than my Dyson V11 / LG A9.

        Obviously there's a bag so you have to buy more and replace when you fill it up.

        Virtually unbreakable through many cycles of wet, sometimes without proper filtration (foam mesh).

        The inside of mine is starting to rust as the finish is more like chrome than stainless steel. But that's because I have wet stuff sitting in there for weeks on end.

        x3 set of replacement filters for the unit

        Doesn't have the volume of suction though to use as a proper shop vac to collect dust from a table saw or mitre saw. Can attach to handheld saws fine (circular etc) or sanders but again, needs more volume to do a proper job.

        It's $60 for christ sake!

          Mines been around the bush as well, sucked 20L of water up until it starts shooting out of the motor more than once and it’s still going.
          Wonder why people don’t like it?

  • Out of interest, hows the suction compared to the battery version?

    • +3

      no comparison, suction power significantly higher to 18v

    • Can suck dirty water from 1m under without issue. This feels stronger than any home vacuums.

    • It's got basically one layer of filter compared to some silly bagless cyclone cones that collects dust and build up that blocks the airflow.

      This got a more powerful 2000W motor and bigger tummy if you want something stronger.

    I also have no clue why this machine gets so much hate, it's cheap but outperforms the cost IMO.

    I've used it for Renos, outdoor vacuuming, cleaning my robot vacuum, my car, getting lint out of the dryer, cleaning the ceiling from webs. It sucks stronger than my Dyson and it's cheap enough to not care too much about.

    • +2

      It's the attachments imo. I bought it as a poor man's upholstery cleaner and my Mum stole it to use as a household vacuum. She loves it, prefers it over a meile because it's light and strong and the broom head fits under everything. I am a lot taller so use the extension bits, they are forever bending and fall apart, the hose pulls off the drum and I always manage to tip it over and then it has a sook and I need to take the lid off and fix it. It's also very loud. If I carry the drum to vacuum it's pretty good, so my theory is how much you hate it will be based on your height and hearing 😉

      • I've never used an ozito vac before but does the hose connection not have some sort of locking mechanism to prevent it from coming off? Or is it a friction fit?

        • it’s twist lock fit onto canister

    • This is the vacuum that you use to clean other bagless vacuums when they clog up.

    i can comfirm its good for your gutter cleaning.

    • +1

      Dumb question, how did you use for gutter? Is the hose long enough to reach from floor to ceiling gutter?

      • +1

        Actually I'm also curious

      • In previous years I used to hold the vacuum in one hand, the hose in the other while trying not to fall off the ladder. This year I might try and find an elbow/bend to attach to the end so I can just vacuum from the ground.

      • You can buy extension hoses they are very cheap compared to hospital bills. The cheaper hoses are often non anti-static. Depending on what you use them for if you need them for sucking up fine dirt then anti-static hoses are the way to go.

    Does anyone have experience using this as an upholstery cleaner/extractor? Thinking of getting this with a flat nozzle attachment and a spray bottle

    • Pair it with a hot steam machine, match made in heaven.

  • Anyone know how this compares to similar ryobis? Was looking for a shop vac to clean up general dust and dirt but also cat litter and hay.

  • Can I use this for a flooded portion of a garden lol

    • +1

      Username checks out

    • Yes should be fine, but a 20l drum will fill up very quickly. So you’ll be doing a lot of stop / starting as you carry off the drum to pour down a nearby drain or whatever.

      • If you're like me, after you fill the 20L drum it just starts shooting out of the motor. Thats when you turn it off to empty it

  • Protocol 168

  • Grate vac that you don't have to give a shit about and can just abuse. I regret getting the 12L version as it fills up too quickly with water.

  • Waiting for the battery version on sale …

  • Recommend this to try and clean wet carpet?

    • Yes, have used this to clean wet carpet and it works. Although a carpet washer works better, this will suck up enough for the carpet to be near dry.

      Useful tool for the money.

  • Got it like 4 years back and it had a 3 year warranty, but the motor died after 3.4 years. Still those 3 years were great. Now thinking if its a good idea get another of these again or not

    • Is it worth $20/year to you? If so then buy it again.

    Looking to buy a cheap vac for use at home for general cleaning. Entire house has hard floor - no carpet. Will this do the job? Will live with the noise if that is a concern.

      i have dyson ozito and. few other vacs, some from reno’s over the years, and thought i had allergy which was heart condition which cleaner house didn’t fix cardio thoracic surgeon did, for household use, a cyclonic vac is better, no need for bags , etc. the ozito has a foam filter …. canister filter is extra $25, the cyclonic vac is easier to empty and handles fine particles better on the filter, the ozito is handier for bulkier, bigger volumes of things , ryobi comes with the canister filter but it’s factored into the cost $100 for ryobi, ozito doesn’t in,dude canister filter except for promos models to keep costs down. if people are comparing to cordless vac, it’s hard to beat 240v , my cordless is ok for little jobs midweek, but the dyson 240v still finds dirt on the weekend clean the cordless had missed, have dyson cordless and a xiaomi

    Mine still going strong after 4 years of domestic use ( 3/4 times a week), very impressed I'll buy another once that dies

  • Suitable for a Car vacuume? With 1 toddler and another kid on the way, I want to get something that will help keep the car clean-ish

    • Anything with a hose will be good for manoeuvre inside a car tight space. General weekly car cleaning doesn't need super strong vacuum but this will suck all the dirt out of childseats. You want something quick and easy to setup. You might also want to look for those 3D moulded mats that traps dirt in a dish than carpets. It's super easy wash clean and dries quickly. Great for cleaning battle against little humans.
