Does the wet vac work well?

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.

Best shop vac ever! Plenty of power, long cord, quiet operation, plenty of tools attached, sucks well, rolls easily. What more could anyone want?

The wet vat works great. It does take some effort to get a lot of water out of carpet, but it will do the job.

I have not yet used the vacuum to suck up wet stuff. My use is limited to pews and carpet in a church building.

I wouldn't vacuum a whole floor with a shop vac. And yes it doespecially suck up water. I would not try to suck up a whole floor full but it does work really well.

It works fine, but to do the job properly, we use a Swiffer. The vacuum will clean up just fine, but to remove dirt, etc., the Swiffer is designed to do that better.

Absolutely. Some folks just rinse them but I use a little soap. Let it dry before putting it back in the vac.

absolutely, regular house vacuum does just fine, a shop vac would also have no problems. It's just pulling air out.

The suction hose works great. After having this vacuum a few months, I'm not as thrilled by it. I think it should be picking up better. Sometimes the dirt basket is full and other times it doesn't pick up much at all. Probably the operator.

No it works very well I've never had a problem, you will like the vacmaster

Yes, to a good degree. We like it a bit dryer, so we use the hose attachment (with the brush) to pull up more water. Pressing down you can actually watch the water go up the brush attachment into the hose. One other thing we do is when we are done, we put a little water in a bowl, of if close enough to a sink, water in the sink and then allow the vacuum to suck up clean water through the hose. Probably not an absolute necessity, but we like the idea of flushing out the hose with water before putting it away.

Yes it is a wet/dry vac. All you need to do is remove the filter and then you can use it for vacuuming water.

I would say yes it does.. But I am not sure.. This Vac has 2 filter systems, the outer one is plastic and is washable, then the one inside the plastic filter is paper like material with plastic frame and you can take it out and just shake it ever so often is what I do... I bought 2 of these sweepers and I love them, the suction is strong.. It is NOT a wet/dry vac though..It is just for dry..

No, it does not operate as a wet/dry vac. Personally, I really do not recommend this product. And the vacuum is so small that it takes a lot of time to be effective. The steamer broke on its second mopping job. It sits in our closet doing nothing. And Oreck customer service goes in circles regarding accountability. The ones at corporate say to go to your nearest Oreck service center.... and the service center says to call corporate.

not at all. in fact since the filter stays clean the suction stays strong. the unit is worth every penny.

yes, i rinse it out every ~3rd time i use the vacuum. Note that i did buy the after-market filters when i bought the vac, but i haven't used them yet.

Hi Mary, I have not had that Vac since sooo long, but, so far, so good, and a lot better, than a bagless vac! I have been trough several vacs, so far this one is the best. I love it, and I am vacuuming every 2nd day, because of our pet! It pics up debris a lot faster than any other vac.

I can't find my users manual right now, which would answer this question definitively. However, other wet/dry vacuums I have and all I have had in the past, all recommend removing the filter in the wet use mode.

Yes, it picks up fine dirt quite well. There are different grade filter bags that fit inside the Aquabot. I pretty much stick with the "fine" bag all the time and remove any larger debris by hand.

Dust pick up works well. It will some what depend on the vac. My commercial vacuum works well. With my small 5 gal. shop vac it picks up about 75%. It will not get all of the dust but easily enough to cut in the room you are working. For the price this is a nice saw.
