it's weak and design makes it awkward to use in tight spaces. Once it's about 50% full the suction is non existent. Especially with fine particles like wood or drywall dust (the filter partially clogs up and the tiny motor can't keep up).
It also chews through batteries and has no battery indication outside of checking the actual battery. The Milwaukee vac that is 12v is actually significantly better than this from my comparison.
There are better portable vacuums out there that aren't as clunky and actually have a useable detachable hose. (This one is fairly short so if the unit can't get into a tight space, you aren't reaching very far with the hose)
This holds _nothing_ when you have a filter in it. The filter takes up most of the tank.
As the other guy said, it's awkward to fit the front into places.
$90 is too much, especially when the harbor freight version of this is cheaper (assuming you have Hercules batteries) and you can use the hose. But I would say avoid both of those and find something else.
