The bulk of my shop vac needs are small jobs. Being able to quickly grab this Nitro vac and not have to fight with a long power cord is a real time saver. It works every bit as well as my older corded wet/dry unit, and is much handier.
Bought this because of the “wet/dry” feature. Between the manual and Worx FAQ I still don’t know if I need to remove the filter to vacuum liquids. Worx says yes, the manual says no. The filter is a pain to remove, requires a screwdriver and 4 screws to be removed. Would make a quick wet cleanup impossible if the filter does need to be removed. The smaller 20v Worx vacuum I have is cleverly thought out. This one, not so much. I do like the extra power, and the ability to use as a blower. Disappointed in the vague “wet/dry” instructions.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The vacuum is small, lite, and very powerful. It has strong suction. We ordered with the 4AH 20 volt battery. You definitely need this larger battery because the charge does not last a real long time. That would be the only complaint that I would have.
