Hows it going AG? I know a few weeks ago I replied to a thread about vacuums and raved about my small shop vac from lowes. Well, this past week Ive started reassembling my trailer as a second rig to handle simple washes and waxes. I already had the generator and PW for the trailer waiting in the garage, and really the only thing I was missing was a vacuum.
Well, I started looking for one earlier this week and the ridgid wall mount came highly recommended by several of my friends. however, not until yesterday evening did i realize that this unit was discontinued. NEW SEARCH....
This morning my NEW SEARCH landed me at lowes which carried a very similar wall mount made by Kolbalt. Let me tell YA, This unit is awesome. It appears to be very well made and came with several cleaning attachments. My plan was to mount this unit in my van and just slide the older vac over to the trailer. Well, it actually worked out GREAT. I mounted it to the partition wall nearest the passenger sliding door and fits great. The unit also comes with 21ft of non-crushing, expandable hose, so I for-see no problems with getting suction to the vehicles and getting the job done. Its rated at 5Hp/Peak, but let me tell ya, my older vac is rated at 5.5HP/Peak and the Kolbalt simply dominates...
The Kolbalt runs for $99 and comes with a 3 year warranty and for $10 bucks more Lowes offers an additional year. So... for less that $120 I definiately consider this unit a steal. So.... For anyone looking for a vac either for mobile purposes or just to have in the garage, I'm telling you THIS IS IT!!!
Thanks for reading, Im hoping this will help someone out....Im the MAN
