(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Carwash level suction (no joke) without the 3" fat hose. Extention wands make cleaning a mini van and an SUV easy without too much hunching over. Enough power to get beach sand out of the soft trunk linings. Have not used for wet pick-up but am not expecting any surprises. The product works as advertised. The complaints of "cheap" parts is not relevant. The parts are as heavy as they need to be for a responsible end user. Clearly they put the money in the high power vacuum motor... isn't that what you bought this for? I recommend buying a second set of filters since they are washable. This way you have a spare set while one is drying. Not a paid promotion, not part of a survey. Just a review of a darn good product. Well done Bissell.
