Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just purchased this because I thought my Datavac vacuum died but in fact there was just a loose bolt inside but I'll end up keeping this one anyways. Compared to the Datavac ED500, the Xpower is slightly lighter (2lb as opposed to 2.4 lbs) but constructed out of plastic instead of metal. I actually own two Datavacs and I can confirm what everyone is saying about its design flaw being that air leaks out between the seams where the two metal housings are connected. The Datavac also has an awkward location for the power button compared to the Xpower's which is where you think it would be. The Xpower however doesn't have a notch in the cable to hold the cable in place when it's wrapped up like the Datavac. The Datavac also has indented grips on its handle and the Xpower does not, although I still felt the Xpower was more comfortable to hold because the handle is actually bigger in size. For power, the Xpower has a slight edge over the Datavac given that the motor is slightly more powerful and it doesn't have the leak problem like the Datavac. The Xpower is also surprisingly more quiet than the Datavac and I think this is because the unit is sealed up properly, helping with the noise. So to sum it up. XPower Pros: Quieter than the Datavac, more powerful, lighter, easier to hold, better attachments, cheaper Cons: Cord feels less durable(also not as long), Made in China (maybe you'll care maybe you won't) DataVac: Pros: Feels well built, Made in U.S.A, durable cord, overall durability (have owned one unit almost 2 years) still very powerful. Cons: Heat build up from prolonged use, leak issues, HEAVY If you care more about where it's made, then the DataVac will do just fine, I still plan on keeping all three anyways. The XPower is way better for the money so long as stands the test of time.
