    Style: Upgraded 5 GalVerified Purchase
    I've been using the Vacmaster Professional Beast Series 5-Gallon 5.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vacuum for a few months now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best shop vacs I've ever owned.

    Performance: The suction power is outstanding. Whether it's sawdust, drywall debris, or water from a small leak, this vacuum handles it all with ease. The 5.5 Peak HP motor lives up to the "Beast" name – it's incredibly strong and efficient.

    Portability & Size: Despite its powerful motor, the unit is compact and lightweight enough to move around the garage, workshop, or even up stairs without any hassle. The 5-gallon tank is a great middle ground — large enough for most cleanup jobs but still easy to empty and store.

    Build Quality: Very solid and durable construction. The hose and attachments feel sturdy, not flimsy like with some other brands. The cord length is generous, and the onboard storage for tools is super convenient.

    Noise Level: For a vacuum this powerful, it’s surprisingly quiet. It’s not silent, of course, but it’s much less shrill than other wet/dry vacs I’ve used.

    Versatility: I love that it handles both wet and dry messes seamlessly. It's been a game changer for car detailing and cleaning up around the house and garage.

    Final Thoughts: If you're looking for a compact, powerful, and well-built wet/dry vac, the Vacmaster Beast is a fantastic choice. It's earned a permanent place in my workshop. Highly recommend!

    SUCTION POWER
    The suction power is just as powerful as you expect and it meets all expectations and justifies the highest rating it has received in many reviews. Easily beats everything else that I've tried before. A test for vacuuming a dirty car showed how efficient and useful it is. Cuts down the vacuum time by a lot. Another plus is that it can handle wet messes just as well.

    BLOWER EXHAUST
    Like bigger models that I was hoping to avoid, it has a permanent powerful hot exhaust that is also known as the blower. There is no way around this. All vacuums must create an exit for the suction. The blower functionality from the other end can't be turned off. The suggestion is to insert the sound muffler that comes with the accessories to reduce the sound and may decrease the intensity of air flow output and it works wonders. It works very well in eliminating the hot nasty blast and reduces the sound by a lot. But because it is hot and the foam is made of petroleum based materials, it will produce a chemical like odor. That will go away with time but at least in the beginning sessions of operation, the odor is very unpleasant. Not suggested for use in closed spaces initially.

    Also don't overlook the usefulness of a blower function. It can dub as a leaf blower, replace compressed air can functions like cleaning computer boards if you fit it with the right adapters and even help inflate things.

    DESIGN
    Overall, it is better than competition both in terms of accessories and size. I also like the attempts for helping the user organize the accessories and the hose. There are places to put in the attachments so they won't go missing.

    INCREDIBLE PRICE
    It is worth every penny and beats every other model I've tried/owned. You would think a combination of all this which is a rarity in all other models would be very costly but it isn't. The bags are priced very reasonably and easily replaceable/accessible. No price gouging on frequent replacement and throw away designs.

    NEEDS A CARRYING/STORAGE CASE
    Difficult to find any storage or carrying case for it. I wish they made one for the unit.
    There are also no wheels or rolling cart attachment solution. It is primary designed to be set up on a wall, on the floor and be carried on the go.

    NON-WHEELED
    This is a non-wheeled vacuum designed to be used as stationary vac shop, hung from a wall or otherwise manually placed close to the mess you are cleaning up. You can make a cart for it and turn it into a wheeled version. Therefore it is not suitable to be used as a substitute for a traditional vacuum.

    The other issue is that the type of hose is suited for stationary tasks and doesn't have a rotate mechanism at the attachment points like wheeled based variants that would adjust to the pull and push action of vacuuming.

    Style: Upgraded 5 GalVerified Purchase
    Just used my new vacuum for the first time. Here are my thoughts: has outstanding suction. It is marketed as such and it is true. It is made very well and with the caster wheels on it moves across the floor smoothly when you pull it. The extra dust bag for finer dust is nice, as is the noise refractor, that really does make a difference. A couple of things that could be better. Because of the high suction power, the accessory tools (crevice, car tool, etc) get pulled off the hose. It would be nice to have them screw on like the hose does to the vacuum. Also wished it had a drain for water instead of having to turn vac over to empty. But these are minor complaints as I doubt you would be able to find another smaller tank vac that does as good a job as this one. And cost is reasonable. Larger vacs are around the same price, but I considered how much more a 8, 10, or 12 gallon would weigh and thought this would be easier to handle. I researched a lot of tank vacs and chose this because of its high rating and the power it had for a small tank vac. Don't be fooled by the size of this vacuum. It is very capable. Hose and power cord are long enough for most uses. Also has a a good warranty. Highly recommended.

    This is the best vacuum I have ever used. I am using this for my car. It picks up dirt and crumbs with ease. The suction is really strong. To my surprise, it seems at least as strong or stronger than the vacuum at my local Caliber car wash. My carpet was padded with crushed goldfish. This vacuum picked up everything. Setting up was a breeze. It came with a vacuum bag that works really well. The hose is not super long. It does come with and extension for the nozzle, but moving the unit around is not a hassle. I just picked it up and moved it to the other side of the car. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a car wash quality vacuum.

    One of the best features about this is the power it has. Also, it's very quiet for a shop vac. At first I didn't like the onboard accessory storage thinking it wasn't secure and fell off when I moved the vacuum. But I didn't have those tucked into the slots correctly, so it's actually an asset to the machine. I like that it has a small profile and long cord, however, it does not retract like our older vacmaster does. My husband wasn't crazy about the thick hose so he is using the old hose from our previous machine, and it fits perfectly. Overall, I think the will be a great machine.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed
    Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2020
    Style: 5 Gal 5.5 HP VacVerified Purchase
    I was looking for a reliable, portable, light shop vac that has a decent hose length and as much suction as possible and ended up buying this Vacmaster "Beast." I'm really happy with this vacuum and it's exactly what I wanted. So, in terms of each of those things I was looking for:
    Portable and light - this vacuum is easy to pick up and carry. It doesn't have wheels, but I have a much larger shop vac with wheels so I didn't need that. In fact, I prefer this because I can hold it in one hand while on a step ladder or walk around with it easily (things I can't do with my larger shop vac). It has a 5 gallon chamber, meaning it is quite compact.
    Decent hose length - mine came with a 7 foot hose and various attachments. Perfect for what I wanted.
    Strong suction - this is rated at 5.5 HP which is just as strong as my larger shop vac and stronger than the Dyson I use inside. No problem picking up debris and great for vacuuming a car. You can also reverse the hose and use this as a blower.
    Reliable - so far, so good. It seems well-built and time will tell. I've had it for a few months.
    Overall, it's a great little shop vac!

    Good solid product. Strong suction and relatively quiet. Great customer service. Unit arrived with a small piece broken off. Nothing serious but replacement already on its way.
    FYI the holding tank is not 5 gallons. But I knew that prior to purchase. Combined tank motor unit may equate to 5 gallon volume.

    Quede impresionado con su poder de succión, viene con todos los accesorios mencionados y me llego en tiempo y forma, voy a mencionar algunos de los pros y contras que veo:

    Pros:
    Excelente poder de succión, es la mejor aspiradora que he tenido.
    Los accesorios son muy útiles tanto para tareas domésticas como para el detallado automotriz
    Se siente de buena calidad y ensamble.
    Cuenta con un difusor de ruido lo cual la hace más silenciosa a pesar de su potente motor.
    El cable es lo suficientemente largo.

    Contras:
    Es muy robusta lo cual resulta en que el equipo sea un poco más pesado y voluminoso que algunas otras.
    No cuenta con ruedas para moverla fácilmente
    La manguera de succión es buena sin llegar a ser de uso rudo.
    La manguera de succión en el extremo donde se conectan los accesorios no gira lo cual me resulto muy sorprendente ya que le quita demasiada funcionalidad a la aspiradora, he tenido otras de gama menor y ellas cuentan con esta función en el extremo de la manguera, solo por este detalle le daría 4.5.
    Los accesorios vienen un poco filosos en sus bordes pero nada que un poco de lija no solucione.

    En general es de las mejores opciones que hay en el mercado, la elegí sobre una de la marca Rigid basado en un test, los accesorios (puesto que la Rigid se venden aparte) y por el precio.

    Style: 5 Gal 5.5 HP VacVerified Purchase
    I had originally left a 3 star review on this item, not because it's not an excellent vacuum, nor because the seller didn't live up to their promises, but because it is on the UK Amazon site, but comes from Florida and is 120V rather than 240 and I thought it valuable for other UK buyers to be aware of this. I did not think the seller was purposely trying to mislead. They have since responded to me thanking me for the feedback, stating they are making improvements to clear up any confusion and presumably point out that a transformer will be required for European use. Consequently I have upgraded my rating to 5 Star.
