A couple of months ago, it even ran without a filter for just under a week and coincidentally some of the dirtiest trade-ins I have ever seen were cleaned by that vacuum. Yeah, it picked up some debris in the impeller (without filter), reducing suction minorly, but after a good cleaning with compressed air, it was sucking like normal. I will never purchase another brand of shop vac. Rigid even makes a small 4 gallon, 5 H.P. unit that works quite well with the 2.5 inch hose. For $200 or less you can have a Rigid Shop Vac (4 gallon) with lifetime warranty, 30ft of hose (at least), many attachments, and extreme portability. <-- With that combination, I personally do not see the logic in buying a shop vac that gets mounted on the wall and is not portable, not to mention that the 4 gallon will not take up much space at all.
