All my customers want one for their garages. It's got lots of suction, holds lots of dirt in between emptying, no bags required, and comes with tools and a really long hose. I have owned this for about two years now and except for the crappy on/off switch (which I had to replace with one from Radio Shack) it's been excellent. I use it all the time here in my automotive shop.
this GUV is so much easier than a regular shop vac.plenty of power, nice long hose and just the attachments you'll need
This is what I would call a light duty unit. It is not intended to vacuum water or other liquids.
Otherwise, this unit has plenty of vacuum at the end of the 30' hose along with attachments to help guide it. It has a 1 1/2" hose so, big items won't fit.
This unit comes ready to go. It will clean up small debris from the floors.
For small to medium messes in the garage or vehicle, this is your vac. Find a spot on a wall within 5' of an electrical outlet, mount the hanging bracket, hang the vac and start cleaning.
You can vacuum the car or other vehicle.
Thumbs down, hoover. I bought one of these a while back and was unhappy with it for the following reasons;extremely loudmotor ran very hotin removing the filter element dust and debris flew all over the place.When it fell over recently, the motor shrieked and smelled like it was burning(wasn't much of a fall either)upon inspection I found that the rotor was shorting out against the stator because the form used to hold the assembly together was all plastic, so a simple fall of the vacuum snapped the mounting points for the screws.sorry, but when you're running that much current through a motor it should be able to sustain a small impact.
It is easy to dump. This is NOT a wet vac. I was spending $ 20.00 quarterly on filters for my Ridgid vac (my Ridgid vac is much much louder & does not have as good of suction). I really like my new Hoover GUV. Hoover has a great product here. The GUV comes with a good selection of hand Accessories; but I do find the wands a little flimsy. They should come out of the closet about it and advertise / support it better.
I would not put anything flammable or that could melt on top of the unit while using it (It will keep a cup of coffee hot :-). Comes with a life time filter (I hope that's the case). Would make a good job site vac for saw dust & drywall dust. The GUV is much quieter than most shop vacs. I would strongly recommend this product for cleaning vehicles, or to clean up wood /fiberglass shops.
Excellent suction, long hose makes easy clean up anywhere in my shop. Avoid fluids, the canister is coated steel, but would not like getting wet. The Hoover GUV was less than 1/2 the price of my Fein. The top does get warm if ran for awile. I had a Fein Turbo II a few years ago, sound level similar.
