Wagan 750 Wet and Dry Ultra Vac with Air Inflator

For the price its worthwhile
If you are diagnosed as OCD I wouldn’t buy this for your car. It will take you 5x as long to suck everthing up. The car battery can only power so much. But all in all I think it is good buy if you like to do a quick vacuum and tidy up to make things feel nice and clean. It is not going to hold up forever. It is made out of cheaper materials. But you get what you pay for. It is good for the price.

Needs more power
I just wish that it had more power. It does it’s job. just not enough power. However it does clean the inside of the car. great for the price..

TLDR is; Good vacuum, Not great, but could be better with a few easy tweaks. 
Before I begin, a heads up for those who do not enjoy long rambling reviews, the TLDR is; Good vacuum, not great, but could be better with a few easy tweaks. I was looking for a small wet / dry vacuum to do light clean up work and possibly inflate a small raft or other inflatable toys. This one is good but is not without it’s faults. Don’t go into this expecting it to be on the same playing field with a 110v shop vac. But for what it is, in stock form, I have been reasonably happy with it. Please keep in mind that I enjoy tinkering with things, and you do not need to make any changes to enjoy this unit.There seem to be lots of versions of this little vacuum for sale in amazon, all seem to be made in china and some look note-ably cheaper than others. This one looks to be mid grade to one of the better versions. So, that said – let’s get to the meat of the thing. The unit weighs just a few pounds, and is not overly bulky. The overall size of the unit is roughly comparable to a plastic 1 gallon milk jug. (just a bit bigger I think) The hose is just over 3 feet long and seems reasonably flexible. The hose along with most of the accessories will store curled up in the bucket portion. So it is reasonably compact for a wet / dry vacuum. And it comes with a few moderately functional accessories.Before using it, I took mine apart to see what made it work. It features no gaskets of any kind and is put together with approximately 9 screws throughout. Resist the temptation to unscrew the lighter socket adapter, as there is no fuse in there. (In fact, there is no fuse anywhere.) If you unscrew it, be gentle or you will likely break the solder joint at the tip like I accidentally did.  The +/- 8 foot power lead looks to be about 18 gauge wire and measures an approximate 0.01 volt drop from plug to switch. Seeing as the vacuum measured at 4.5 amps while running with an approximate 8 amp peak on startup. I will probably upgrade the power lead to around 14 (ish) gauge and will be adding a 10 amp fuse. This should increase performance slightly and will provide fused protection. (NOTE: the description states a 14 foor power cord and a 12 amp motor, nether were true on my unit.)The vacuum sucks well enough in stock form and is able to pick up small pea sized rocks & debris without much trouble. With my batteries charging up at almost 14 volts, mine will suck up pennies and rocks up to about the size of a marble without much trouble. Your mileage may vary slightly. I would recommend that you have your cars engine running (or have some alternate means of battery charging in use) while you run this vacuum. The motor on this unit uses brushes and permeant magnets. It’s plenty strong and could probably turn an impeller 2x the size of what it currently runs. It’s worth noting that the vacuum has no sort of flapper (one way) mechanism below the intake hose. So, once you are done vacuuming, empty the unit right away. If it tips over there is nothing stopping whatever you just vacuumed from coming back out the intake. It is especially important to empty it frequently if you are wet vacuuming. This unit does not have a ball float under the motor in the filter cage ether. So if you completely fill up the 1 gallon bucket with wet stuff, the motor will happily suck the water right up through the filter. Simply empty the bucket frequently & it does fine at wet vacuuming. If you are doing some really wet work, you may want to remove the filter. But use extra caution when doing so and be sure to dry out the vacuum thoroughly and re-oil the motor afterwards.   The filter is not a HEPA filter by any means, but it is reasonably effective. I don’t notice any dust blowing out of the top of my unit at any rate. The filter looks to be washable, and should be pretty easy to replace with some filter cloth and a rubber band should the need arise.About the only real problem this vacuum has, comes when you go to inflate something. The black plastic motor housing on the top of the unit does not use a gasket to seal against the yellow lid. So there is some air leakage around the base of the black housing. This is fine when vacuuming, but will slow down the pumping up of inflatable toys. Luckily this can be easily fixed with a small bead of low temp hot glue. Or silicone, or really just about any sealant (or tape) of your choice. I expect that a small bead of Elmer’s glue (allowed to dry overnight) would do the job just fine. My unit is not overly noisy. It sounds pretty much like I would expect a small shop vacuum or 12 volt air inflator to sound. Nothing out of the ordinary in the way of noise. Again, your mileage may vary.The first thing I discovered upon taking the lower bucket off is that the little clips that hold the bucket on are rather sharp on the inside. So I lost a little blood while figuring out how to use them. My bad, I probably have too much of it anyway. The trick to opening them seems to be to place the pad of you thumb against the top flat portion and pushing down / out WITHOUT touching the inside. (it’s tempting to reach your finger into the clip to undo it. Resist that temptation, or there will be blood) To close them again, first make sure the bucket base is cleanly and evenly seated all the way around. Then hook the clip under the lip of the bucket and press firmly in, on the outside of the large vertical surface with the pad of your thumb, while sliding upwards until the clip snaps into place. Easy and bloodless enough once you get used to it. I may give the edges of the clips a quick lick with some fine sandpaper to smooth out the edges.The plastic construction seems reasonably sturdy given the price. (I wouldn’t expect it to survive being stepped on, but for day to day stuff it should be fine.)Assuming the vacuums life span is greater than a year or so, you will want to add a drop or two of lite non detergent oil to both ends of the fan motor periodically. (something like the “461354 ZOOM SPOUT TURBINE OIL” is ideal for this) The motor in my unit seemed to benefit slightly from a little oil) So if you add a bead of glue to the base of the black motor housing, make sure you don’t use superglue or gorilla glue. Most of the other glues should be pretty easily removed later on to service the motor. So, all in all, a good unit that could be made better with a few simple tweaks. Honestly, if they fixed it up just a little during manufacturing it would probably sell for twice the price. 

works great
