Will this work for cleaning a two-story house or is it not powerful enough for that task?

The PSI is very good. I'm sure it would work for a one story home(such as mine) however I'm not certain it would meet you needs for a 2 story home. I guess you can try it and if it doesn't meet the need you can always return the system. Good luck!

It probably will if the hose doesn't split on you like it did mine. I ended up returning it so it may pay dividends if you shop around.

I have only used it a couple of times, so far, so I do not know the length of the spray that it puts out. But in my opinion, if you were using a scaffold it probably would work, but if you are doing it from the ground, the spray is not long enough nor is the pressure adequete.

No, you must be within a few feet if not inches typically. I have used mine on windows [really great] but it must be inches away from the pane with a fan spray to really clean. When I tried doing my second story windows it was not really effective even in a tight stream. But I can use a tight stream to wash away mud wasp huts which they make under my eaves and the exterior walls [brick] which I will be doing this weekend!

I've cleaned the exterior of a brick chimney with it, but believe you should upgrade to the 3000 to clean exterior of house.

I used my Snow Joe electric pressure washer on the siding of my house yesterday (9/14/14). On the low pressure setting (the one for applying detergent) it could just reach the top of the second story. On high pressure the stream reached the second story but its ability to "scrub" the siding declined above about 10 feet. In sum, if I was primarily concerned with "scrubbing" the second story I would need a more powerful washer.

The vac would work very well but keep in mind the hepa filter is expensive. Mine does a good job on floors but I,m using for lead renovation work. For other jobs I use a vaccum wih cheaper filters.

I really don't think that it would be powerful enough to pull the amount of dust a woodstove creates. We used to have a woodstove so I have a good idea what you're talking about. I think you will definitely need something larger. Unfortunately, our shark stopped working and we had to send it back. We used it in a bedroom and I think it is designed for small spaces only if I remember correctly.

this thing is not good for much of anything but cleaning a keyboard, or venetian blinds. Its not powerful at all, but it sure is noisy. I recommend putting your money into something better, because even if you bought something twice the cost, it would be cheaper in the long run because you'd get something that actually vacuumed.

I don't have the powered house as I don't have a lot of carpet. I just use the regular floor attachment. It works well enough for me on carpet because the suction is so strong. I love my vacuum cleaner, though in tight spaces it's a little difficult to maneuver.

Not very well at all. It's mostly a hard flooring sweeper. I really like mine for that purpose but when it gets to my large area rug it has a hard time and you can tell it's working extra hard and still not picking up all that much.

I've used ours to suck up water on bare floor and it has good suction. Comparable to my Hoover carpet cleaner. However, I don't think it would be suitable for "commercial" water removal, such as in a flooded house.

I have used this vac on upholstered furniture with very good results. This is a powerful little vac but keep in mind that the brush head is very small so cleaning a large item will be time consuming.

Mine works fine in the garage for light stuff, and spots around the house. Of course we use a regular house vac on the 1st & 2nd floor. I am pleased for what it is. Greg T.

Works great for picking up dust, pet hairs, etc. Not for shining the floor.

This is good for general cleaning but if you need to do an extreme deep cleaning, you would probably want to go rent a bigger pressure washer and surface cleaner. This is more of a maintenance type surface cleaner. It does help but I had to go back over my drive way with just the wand but it wasn't that hard so it removed most of the dirt. You have to get it adjusted just right (it will start to take off literally). I have a 2700 psi pressure washer and I think for the money, it is useful. It saves my back for sure. It cleans a 12 inch path so for general usage, yes it's pretty good all the way around.

Definitely not! Do not even consider this vacuum if you have more than a few area rugs. It does fine for hardwood floors, but fails on deep pile carpets.

I think so. Isn't a shop vac more powerful than a regular house vacuum cleaner? I just use my house vacuum.

After using this machine, I don';t feel it would work too well on shaggier carpets. It is a low sweeper. Our carpet is a medium nape and works well.

It works great for that. I use it to vacuum my car and it's very easy. You just have to adapt it for that purpose.

I have used this shop vac for general cleaning up and it does seem to have enough suction power.

I don't think this machine would have that much suction. It is really good for the usual loose dirt,, stones, etc in the carpet. Hope that helps. Jb
