Regret Buying
Very poor design. Not much suction, all attachements are designed to slip over the outside of the upstream attachment, causing shelfs in the hose, where debris gets stuck and causes clogs. The 3' hose is way too short, you're always pulling on the vacuum, and it's top-heavy so it falls over, and then the filter clogs so you have to restart it. The hose is very small diameter, and low flow, so it takes forever to clean any large area. It is easy to empty, light, and it's nice that you can use any bag, but that's all that I like. It's good for cleaning a car, but trying to clean up leaves, pine needles, scraps from a jobsite, forget about it. It's basically a glorified dust-buster

Highly recommend!
We bought the mess master after buying a Shark upright vacuum a few months prior. Both have been amazing and have held up well in the last year and a half. I love this little guy for the bigger messes. I love that you can do wet or dry... or both at the same time. We've even used it outside for some of our projects!

Best Portable Vacuum
This is my go to. It's light and easy to carry around and use. It does an excellent job of picking up all debris. I haven't tried the squeegee yet or vacuuming up anything wet. I also have the Shark vacuum which is great but I use this one for anything other than vacuuming the entire house.

Nifty Little Vacuum. I really like it.
I really dig this little vacuum. It is lightweight so you can carry it around easily. It has excellent suction. I haven't used it to suck up an water yet, I've mostly used it on areas I don't want to use my regular house vacuum on. I have carpet and three dogs, so inevitably little bits of paper, cardboard, toys, etc. wind up in the corners/at the base boards. This vacuum is perfect for picking those up. I have no doubt it will also be excellent on wet areas.

Perfect for my RV
I own a smaller RV where storage space is limited. I tried using a stick vac but it was awkward to use and a pain to switch tools. I found the Shark MessMaster portable wet/dry vacuum while searching for small canister vacuum and thought it might be a good option to try. The features I like the most are the ability to use any type of bag for debris containment, on board tool storage, included attachments that can manage just about anything I encounter on my RV including the extension wands that make this vacuum easy to use as a regular vacuum and the fact that the inch and a half nozzle size is standard and you can add tools from anywhere. No need to be locked in to just Shark attachments. It is not as quiet as a household type vacuum but certainly livable.

Very handy and efficient
I am an STR cleaner. I purchased this machine specifically for use at one STR that has a freezer that always has excess dirty, frozen ice in it. It's hard to remove. I end up having to pour in water to melt the ice but then removing the water is a pain. This machine is a game changer. It has also been used for quick clean up of spills and to remover water from a clogged drain. So handy and the power surprised me. The tools actually work well

Portable vacuum
Excellent quality Excellent price
Not the worst, but not the best.
Great little vacuum but the hose keeps snapping at the base. This is the second one we’ve had to return in less than 90 days!
