Product Description
Product Description
This Armor All Utility Vac is specifically designed to clean the interior of your car. It handles both wet and dry pickup, includes all accessories needed for complete interior cleaning and easily converts to a blower to dry motorcycles, car grills and wheels. It also has an automatic shut off to prevent overflow and a built in air and noise diffuser for efficient and quiet operation.
Troubleshoot: (1) Vacuum will not operate- * No power supply * Faulty power cord * container full (2) Dust comes from motor cover- * The reusable cloth filter is missing or damaged (3) Reduced efficiency and motor/speed vibration- * There is a blockage in the nozzle, hose, or the vacuum inlets. Or the dust filter is blocked by fine dust.
From the Manufacturer
ArmorAll's Utility Wet/Dry Vacs have the ability to clean up both solids and liquids, offering seemingly unlimited uses. The 2.5 gallon polypropylene tank is small enough to carry around, but large enough for most jobs. A 2 horsepower motor provides ample suction power, as well as an easy conversion to a blower function. Auto shut-off detects fill limit and prevents overflow. Top handle and onboard accessory storage make for easy carrying. Built-in air and noise diffuser minimizes volume. Other great features include a 10-foot cord with wrap, 6-foot, 1.25-inch hose, reusable cloth filter, reusable foam sleeve, 2-in-1 utility nozzle, crevice tool, deluxe car nozzle, blower nozzle, and detail brush. No assembly required.
Note: The hose is inside the canister portion (inside the units tank) of the vacuum.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Here we are. Brilliant lil’ machine.
What wows me, everything.
Plentiful attachments cover both wet and dry.
The two filter covers. Easy to clean and reuse. Way better than the shop vac that requires a big expensive filter replacement to maintain. Right here this lil’ buddy pays for itself in less replacement filters for shop vac.
The down side on dry, this doesn’t use a bag. So be aware, careful to not breath in dust or where a mask when emptying. And, do outside so as to maintain your home. As dust might disperse everywhere when dumped.
The wheels. It comes with screws. To secure the wheels to the vacuum. But could go without and on wheels when on the floor moving around.
For people thinking attachments are missing, open the vacuum compartment. The hose and a few extras are inside.
The guide is very detailed. Helpful. Advise reading to know how to do the wet verses dry options for appropriate use.
Someone mentioned the power cord is short. It’s perfect for a room. But, using your extension cord for jobs like in my basement where there’s only two outlets is helpful. Or, if using this in my Jeep would need an extension from the outlet to help offer length.
The variety of head options for diversity is wonderful. A couple of detail options with brushes will help. Like, if you have small spaces to clean of dust or debris.
Very excited to have this device to help with a vintage property during renovations. Making vacuuming easier in awkward spaces. Like steps. Basement under stairs, etc.
Listed on the vacuum is the initials for replacement filters if needed.
What’s provided vibe durable and washable. Lots of uses available of a consistent user, like myself.
Do I think $59 is worth it? YES. After six years using the most recognizable brand having searched for many years for a second option that’s portable, this is it.
I’ve tried the Dirt Devil. Vacuum. The stand up type. In comparison this vac with the long hose will demand better results that the DS and less dealing with that devices small dust compartment.
Very happy with this purchase for our needs at this price.
With wood floors and a German Shepherd am excited to have better help maintaining floors and helping with renovations.
Another plus, the hose is so long and multiple options for nozzles will have an easy time cleaning the exposed basement ceiling.
If you’re looking for a multipurpose vac that can tackle tasks in the shop, kitchen, garage, basement, and many others like pet hair to vehicle’s like Jeeps and other utility vehicles this could be your win.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯
OK enough jokes. This vacuum is pretty frigging good. It has quite a bit of suction power, even with the attachments. I use it to vacuum my cars and it does a GREAT job! For starters, the electrical cord is about 10 feet, which is nice. Though for most applications, you'll likely still need an extension cord.
The suction power is pretty impressive. And it's not much louder than your normal vacuum. It's not blaringly loud, but at the same time it's not whisper quiet.
The vacuum hose is adequately long at about 6 feet. Even better, the end of the hose rotates. This makes using it with attachments so much easier as you don't kink the hose as easily.
Speaking of attachments, it comes with everything most will need for simple cleaning. It should be said that there is no extension tube as many other vacuums have. That seems to be the only attachment missing.
The vacuum does well with a mix of wet and dry vacuuming. I was able to vacuum up sand on a carpet, followed by standing water, then back to a sandy carpet. It also did a thick wet mixture quite well.
The collection bucket holds quite a large amount while still being easy to handle. You can carry the unit around while vacuuming, but I'm sure most will set it down before vacuuming. If you're the type to place the unit on the ground before vacuuming, know that it does NOT slide well on the ground. You can give it tugs to drag it along, but know that it's going to give a bit of resistance throughout the process.
In short, this was a great buy! I heard a few guys praising it prior to my purchase, so when I initially purchased this, I had high hopes and was ready to discredit most of its workings. I can honestly say that after using this to clean 5 vehicles, and a few household messes, this vacuum holds its own exceptionally well. This is definitely a winner and a great buy, especially for the budget minded who wants to get the best bang for their buck.
If I have to mention something negative about the unit, it would be 2 things.
1. I don't like that there isn't enough room to dump all the attachments inside the trash collector of the unit when not in use. Instead, I have to affix them to the top of the unit where they stand tall and proud.
2. The "clamps" connecting the top of the unit and bottom trash collector can sometimes be a bit annoying to align and affix together. Not a big deal, and it's pretty obvious when it's not connected correctly, but every time I opened the unit, I felt myself really taking my time to ensure the two parts were correctly connected.
Again small gripes with the unit. This just shows how well it was designed.
As usual, if I run into any problems, I will update this review accordingly. But as of right now, things are going extremely well.
UPDATE: After 2 years, this thing STILL runs like a champ. I don't only use it for my car, but I've also used it to clean up inside my home as well, even after light construction projects. This was truly an item worth buying. It's been invaluable over the past 2 years.
This vacuum has a lot of power for its size. The suction is great, and will take care of any dirt or debris you need to tackle. The filter system is washable and reusable, which will save you a lot of coin. The unit is small enough to carry around easily, from house to car to garage. It also has a nice base to connect it to with wheels. Nice vacuum for the coin.
Excellent suction and it came with the car wash vacuum attachment which is Fantastic ( many attachments are included) I love the sized and power. Well made.
4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Porque no pesa y es pequeña, la puedo cargar cuando tengo que aspirar el polvo de los ventiladores de techo
Me encantó el accesorio como boca de pato, ya que entra en los espacios de a los lados de los asientos del carro.
Fácil de limpiar.
Me hubiese gustado un accesorio con cepillo plano, para poder limpiar al área del aire de los coches.
Pero en general es muy potente y fácil de maniobrar.
