My find at Home Depot

I was on the look for some halogen lights and went here and there trying to find it, then decided to go to Home Depot and while looking aisle to aisle and happened to pass by the vacuum aisle, and found this vac and purchased it




The fun part about this is that it was on clearance for $57.00 on clearance(reg. $75.00 +tax) and no tax, because the government decided to make a tax free days after a huge rainfall we had in here, so everybody could buy stuff. Not sure if this clearance is at all HD's, but might as well you guys take a look to make sure.

It's a diffuser muffler. It reduces the vac's noise

Re: My find at Home Depot

That's the same vac that I've had for a couple of years. It works well and I haven't had any serious issues with it. Just be careful if you use it as a blower. My hose doesn't clip on well to the exhaust port and a couple of times the hose ended up coming off. Regardless you got a sweet deal on it!

The filters are about $10 a piece which isn't terrible but to prolong their life and make cleaning them much easier I fit a stocking over the filter. This keeps most of the stuff from getting embedded in the filter. It's as easy as removing the stocking and blowing it out a bit with the compressor to clean it. This helps a ton when doing my neighbors vehicle which is usually filled with dog hair.

Thanks for this info, Scott! What kind of stocking you use on top of the filter?

I've had the WD4050 for a few years now and find it to be an excellent unit. You got a great deal on it.

No problem!

One from my fiancee's stocking drawer
I just cut it in half then stretched it over the filter being sure it didn't interfere with the rubber gasket.
