Keep a small space clean even after you clean

Lugging a large workshop vacuum around is no fun, especially for your back, so I decided to try the Dirt Hound DH0500. This 19-l vac can be mounted to the wall to save space and for easy storage. This feature is great for tight spaces such as my garage. It vacuums wet or dry debris and can function as a blower. The machine uses a filter rather than a bag, so when you are done cleaning up liquid spills, make sure the filter is dry before vacuuming dust. After sucking up a wet spill, I dried the filter by running the Dirt Hound without the hose for 10 minutes.

The Dirt Hound was easy to manoeuvre, with an extra-long 21' hose and extension cord. It has a powerful motor, so it can handle most heavy debris. The only downside is the motor's bark; it's pretty loud when in use. For more information, call 888-240-0148 or visit www.dirthoundvacs.com.
