Best RRP vacuum for the price?
So far I’ve used this on a few projects, including a bathroom remodel. It’s not the most powerful vacuum, but it does the job just fine. The floor attachment works well at picking up construction debris like plaster dust, wood chips, etc. I think it’s probably the best price point for an RRP vacuum of decent quality.I can also sit on it while working in tight quarters which is nice. Bags are super easy to install. I don’t really like the compression fittings for all the components, but i’ve never had any issue with them coming apart or anything. I have used the tool start feature, but it doesn’t support very much power, so if you overload it, it will shut down the connected tool but the vacuum will continue to run. Simply turn it off and on again to reset the overload.The vacuum has a nice long cord and hose, the attachments are pretty decent, wheels and components seem durable. Overall very happy.

Nilfisk Areo 26 HEPA-The perfect vac for the shop.
This Nilfisk Areo 26 HEPA vac is an excellent vac and I am sp glad to have it in the wood shop. It is a very powerful yet very quiet vac. Almost as quiet as my Miele canister vac. No hearing protection required. Build quality is top notch. The only complaint I have is that one end of the metal wand was bent out of round due to the packaging and/or rough shipping. I bent it back into shape and it works fine now. Also the metal wand is rather heavy making it difficult to secure when not in use but I’m working on adding a 5 gal cyclone lid on top with a place for the wand to rest.. In spite of this minor issue I love this Nilfisk and would recommend it to anyone looking for a top quality dust extractor or HEPA vac.

Way better than other shop vacs purchased
I have struggled with a cheap Harbor Freight (I will never buy anything from them again–everything is cheap!!) for several years and finally upgraded to this vac and I love it. I had a tough job cleaning up a pottery studio that had been unused for several years and this vac made everything so much easier. I agree that there is no cord or hose storage but the vac is very solid and well made and the tools are practical. The suction is also very good and I think it is a good value for the money.

Good value.
Good vac at a great price. Arrived earlier than expected. Good selection of accessories. Seems more powerful than my old Electrolux CB, and far better filtration with less noise. Very pleased.

Iâve owned a nelfisk for years. I was told to use one by my pulmonary doctor
Iâm still getting used to it. It is much bigger than my last one. The suction is what has always impressed me. Itâs quite powerful. Does a great job and no dust in the air.

High quality
I’ve owned many of the mainstream filters. This is much heavier quality and easy on the ears. Worth the extra money

Using it as a dust collector
I use this in my wood shop with sanders and a track saw. Works great!
