Shop-Vac 405-00-10 Industrial 1.25-HP Indoor/Outdoor Vacuum

I have a big problem with a Fern Pine tree and a cobble stone textured driveway. This vacuum picks up all of the tiny leaves that can only be swept up by wasting water and washing down the cement.

the shop vac works well on gravel picking up stuff and, leaving the gravel in place. clogs up on pine needels but, works very well on picking up leaves off pavers. handy in the work shop picking up sawdust. It gets into corners really good and, the collection bag doesn't let any dust out. The kickstand needs some improvement. I really don't see why it should cost so much.

I love it, love it, love it !!!!! I have problems with very small blossoms and berries from overhanging trees and bushes getting in my pool. At the particular time of the year it is especially bad, and clogs the filter to the point of completely blocking the flow of water. Because it is so easy, I now daily vacuum the decking thus eliminating the majority of the problem. I find it is also wonderful in the front yard, where I have very small olive tree leaves and baby pine cone things. Again I LOVE IT!!!!

This little vacuum is the best I've had. I've had a gas powered model that was bulky, hard to start, expensive, leaked leaves, and was hard to empty. I've had a shoulder mounted model that was hard to handle, hard to empty, and blew leaves out the back as picking up in the front ! This Shop Vac model is light, easy to handle, easy to store, easy to empty, and contains the leaves untill ready to empty ! This is for hard surfaces.

The vacuum works great for general cleaning in my shop.
The only fault is the kickstand is in a inconvenient place. It is under the bag connection.

I am very pleased with the Shop-Vac. It is great at picking up leaves close to the wall, etc. The suction power is super. My only complaint is that is it somewhat top heavy and will fall backwards if you don't put the stablizer down when you need to let go of the handle. In my opinion,it should sit more upright.

The vacuum is great on patio, walks and driveway. It picks up large and small items and is best with dry leaves or stuff. It will compact the debris which makes for fewer emptying times with leaves. It does a poor job in grass and is not a lawn vacuum. It is very easy to operate and empty. I would prefer that it had a constant on option but one adapts quickly to holding the switch on by squeezing the handle. It has made leaf and garage clean up much simpler this fall. My wife uses it for rapid clean up and when I use our gas powered vacuum on the lawn. We highly recommend it,

This product has such weak suction that it will hardly pick up dust let alone twigs leaves etc.Don't waste your money. I used it once and then tossed it away.Or you could just burn a couple of C notes!

This little outdoor vacuum works great. It is small enough to maneuver into tight spaces and around objects. Yet, it is powerful enough to do the job. I use it to pick up leaves and other debris from my walkway and large driveway. I was surprised that it even picked up trash on the edge of the unit. The vacuum has two height adjustments so you can set it slightly higher when your pile of fallen leaves is a little too high. The 8 gallon bag blocks most of the dust unlike other outdoor vacuums I have used. If you have 20 trees that drop their leaves in the fall, you will need something much bigger. But, for small to medium walkways and parking lots this vacuum will do the job.

Pros:
Good suction
Light weight
Maneuverable
Picks up along edges

Cons:
A little loud
