Rated 5 out of 5 by from this product is very helpful. Right after i bought this wet dry vac, my brother had a flood in his apartment, and the vac sucked up all the water before there was any damage.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Overall vacuum is compact and does what is expected. I like the vacuum, because the use of an option internal bag and the blue fine filter cuts down greatly on drywall dust, which was the reason for purchasing. One dislike is the hose connections, I feel I will break the tab trying to force the connections together. I would like to see a straight push in type or a internal 1/4 turn type of insert, where you connect and turn to engage the lock.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from useless with attachments provided returned, bought this for cleaning my car, attachments provided are useless and a waste of plastic, no suction, can't clean anything with these. why not provide something one would actually need and use such as the narrow nozzle that has suction. if i wanted this product to work I would need to buy more attachments. bought a cheap armor all vacuum which did the job.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great size for my needs, easy to transport etc. Unit is light and easy to manage and seems to have plenty of suction power, have not had it long so have no experience with durability yet. However the size of the hose is somewhat non standard making all of my old attachments un useable.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from I say product is competitive with other brand of vacuum cleaner Consumable item such as filter bag is a bit difficult to source out. Not too many in a well known general merchandise store such as Ace Hardware in SM or Robinson

What is wrong with the plowing feature?

I have been unable to find any information elsewhere. I have this model and it has been great this past year but recently every time I turn on the vacuum, it sucks (like it's supposed to) and it blows air from the blowing port. How can I fix this problem so only one of these features works at a time (separately)?
Asked by: rachaelb
Like all vacuums, the blower motor, which creates vacuum, must have a way to remove the air from the canister in order to pick-up material. The "exhaust" port on your vacuum, in the last few years, has been engineered to be used as a "blower" when the suction hose is attached. The filter, we use the micron filter that is available, must be installed and will produce almost perfectly clean air to push item or dirt across any surface. So the blowing out of air at the exhaust port is normal. If it's not blowing strongly, the filter is in need of replacement or cleaning. Most filters can be washed and dried and reused several times. You must always be aware of the direction of the discharge air in order to prevent make a larger "mess" to clean up.

Using the 6 Gallon Vacuum Cleaner

I'm planning to buy a vacuum cleaner that utilizes water only as filter. I do not wish to use any dust bag or paper filter anymore as dust particles accumulate on the exhaust portion and when you turn on the unit, you can see dust particles being emitted into the air. Is the 6 Gallon WDO671EXO fit for continued performance in the house using water alone as filter? TIA.
Asked by: akitku
I have never used water as a filter. I do know that I have used it when there was only water and I didn't have the dust. It is good to use a filter so all that dust and stuff doesn't get inside your machine.

How do you get the filter off? I've tried twisting the knob at the bottom, I don't want to break it!

Asked by: Maxwellsmart
It simply PULLS off.
