Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Underwhelming performance can't even begin to describe this machine. After reading ALL of the reviews (one even claiming this machine could suck a golf ball through a garden hose), I bought it to clean up pet messes. As a family with 3 cats, 4 dogs, and as a foster home for other rescues, we have a LOT of pet *issues* to attend to. We have carpeted areas that have gotten peed on, and we use a powder mixture sprinkled on to soak up the mess. We wanted a strong, yet small, wet dry vacuum to pick up the wet powder out of the carpets, as our regular upright vacuum has gotten gross with the damp powder, getting clogged and needing to be washed on a daily basis. This little car w/d vacuum really had barely any suction AT ALL. Husband was not amused. He read a bunch of the reviews and thought out loud that HE must have gotten the hose attached wrong.... or a piece was missing or SOMETHING...... but no. The machine itself just isn't up to snuff. With the small wand attachment we could pick up some of the wet powder, but no other attachment would pick up ANY powder at all! How people are getting sawdust and heating pellet residue and pet hair out of cars.... I have no idea. We quickly returned and plan on finding another small wet dry vacuum to test out.
