Hi,
Just got a press release this morning regarding the new Vacmaster VWM510, a wall-mounted wet-and-dry vacuum, that is claimed to be moving from the garage and shop into the household proper. And, first look, I like the idea. This machine is said to offer high suction, quiet operation and has a 21-foot hose with remote controlled on and off. Despite its large five-gallon capacity, it is claimed that the unit can fit inside sink cabinets or other out of the way places inside the home. This might prove a good deal for those living in small apartments or homes
It can also be used as a blower. For me a vacuum with a blower port serves a hundred times better -- and is a hundred times less expensive -- than "canned air" for cleaning out computers and related electronic equipment.
This morning I contacted the company (866-384-8432) to ask some questions. The VWM510 can also be fitted with bags and the company also offers the option of a 10 or 11-foot hose extension. Please note that the unit has standard-size attachment options. However, I did ask if easy attachment of an electric power nozzle was possible and was told no by the person I spoke with. It would also seem that the company has no such thing in mind for future. Yet, the person I spoke with actually has one at home -- she gets hers free since she works for tthe company -- and says it works wonderfully as a straight suction vacuum due to its high suction.
Liking things the simpler the better as time passes, I like the idea of the VWM510 and think it may differ from similar spins on the idea. I also assume that emissions issues may be less as it is a vacuum you don't need to have folllow your trail through your place. However, filtration options all the way from HEPA and disposable bags down to foam are also offered.
