The Garage Pro has impressed me. I've had this for about a year and it's still running strong. I use it to clean 40-50 state vehicles each month. (In a rural area with dirt roads) I have it strapped into the back of my small SUV running off a power inverter. The 30' hose lets me get both sides of 3 mid-sized cars, or 2 SUV's, at once before moving. I've dropped the plastic dirt bucket a few times and I did crack it once. It's plastic, and they never claimed it was drop proof, so it's to be expected. The vac didn't lose any suction from the crack though. I also cracked the crevice tool trying to pry something out of a tight spot. Again, my fault. I taped it up until I ordered another one. A note on suction; I have to clean the filters once a month or it has a hard time with rocks and heavy materials the next month. This isn't bad as I do at least 40 cars. If you are in the market for a wonderful home garage vacuum that can also handle light commercial work, this is worth the investment.
