Thanks for the review. Will any of the Rigid attachments work with the ego? I see you've got the orange Rigid hose with the small adapter on it. Rigid makes a soft bristle brush that I love for dashes and seats. Any way to get that to attach to the Ego?

I have the ego blower, landmower, and snow blower since 2018. Everything still runs well, worth the money. My friends went cheaper route and they now spent more than I did for replacements and still have issues every once in a while. Thanks for the review, I've been eyeing this vac for a while.

Great video and Happy Holidays, Pan. I think the features are amazing on this vac, but I personally can't justify the cost over an equally powerful Rigid that will last way longer. I've had my rigid for 7 years, every time I change the filter, it works like it's brand new again.

I bought the vacuum 2 days ago. It does have onboard storage for ALL the attachments, I was pleasantly surprised. The two extension tubes go underneath at the back there’s two slots for them and just above that there’s another clasp to hold the bigger nozzle head. Correction, the only thing they really didn’t provide for is the squeegee, but I put it gently into one of the extension tubes.

It would be cool if ego made an adapter to be able to plug it in like a regualr vacuum. I bet they'd sell more of these. I think a cordless backpack vacuum from ego would have more utility.

Im an electrical contractor and have the ridged vac that lives in the back of my truck. It is exsposed to the elements going on easly over 5 years.

Must say, the little light thing is a pretty cool idea. Not sure how much practical use it would be, but nice to see someone try something new. I’m guessing there’s a button cell battery in the remote, that will need replacement, at the most inconvenient time. What I would have liked to have seen would be for them to integrate the 320W charger into the unit itself. It’s already big, so adding a bit of size to add the charger wouldn’t make that much difference. You can still get the external rapid charger to use, or just use the vacuum, then plug it in to recharge so it’s ready for your next use.

The EGO line are good products and I considered buying one of their cordless ones to dry our cars with. However, in Canada they are very expensive, and the battery was extra, then the attachments were extra, so maybe for a professional car dealer but in my experience too expensive for the weekend warrior...

5yr/3yr warranties are impressive, but appropriate of course, given the price. Not for me, I go with corded options when I can. I'd love to see a corded vac with these advanced options and design details. I would think there is a market opening for that.

I have had the Ridgid for almost 8 years now if I remember, and it's still going strong. Best bang for buck vacuum for detailing. But I also have had a super positive experience with all my EGO products. Zero issues with all my three 5.0Ah batteries so far, and I always use the super charger. One thing I do is let the batteries cool down after each use, before recharging them. So far, no problems. And my EGO 650 CFM is my favourite of my three blowers (I also have the MetroVac Master Blaster Revolution and Bigboi BlowR Pro units). It just works. I can dry my car, or my girlfriend's car, in turbo mode, with one 5.0Ah battery.

Although ego is a great looking vacuum, I still prefer rigid. I got it during thanksgiving in homedepot for about $90 including the upgraded kit. It is a workhorse with the only downside being cleaning the inside can be time consuming and messy.

I did use it cleaning out my car and thought it was excellent. The remote is an outstanding feature. I thought it was very high-quality, but slightly heavy and bulky.

My two oldest Ego batteries are 2015 and I think they are not lasting as long but I'm actually not positive.....which is a major positive. I have 11 other Ego batteries and haven't had any issues but obviously anything can happen. Could it be a charger issue with your experience? Either way, if I experienced what you have with Ego, I would have moved on a looooong time ago, that's just not acceptable so I can absolutely understand your disappointment.

I am curious to see how the EGO compares to the FLEX seeing how they're in the same family of products. I believe it would be perfect if they made a smaller capacity unit for those quick cleanups on the weekends. I've been using a Craftsman shopvac for years and it's a massive unit inside my single car garage. The pricing is very appealing because I would be able to vacuum outside of my apartment garage. I just bought the EGO Pressure Washer today to replace my Worx Hydroshot and I cannot wait to use my OG Mosmatic spray gun again!

Great first look Pan. This machine sounds a lot like a Festool. I do feel like the battery brings a large 'convenience' factor to the package, along with the tool storage, but this kind of gets undermined by 9 gallon capacity. Makes sense for professionals but for DIY/home usage, this is much more capacity than one ever needs, I find footprint matters a lot in the space of convenience and ease of use. Other things to contemplate: 110CFM but what is the PA (cfm taking debris into the vacuum, PA is the power to pick it up from car carpets), how much does the CFM & PSI drops as the vacuum reaches fuller capacity, what is the diameter of the hose, are the attachments great for cars (does the brush scratch? if so you need other attachments, which would mean the storage means less and less), can it manage without using a bag (ultimate convenience). There's still very much a place for the Ridgid, I think a cheap, abusable, catch-all vacuum is absurdly useful for house, cars and life, something that you don't have to treat like royalty.

I feel like they’re always blowing things around that are on the floor in the garage. Something that connects to the blower attachment point (i.e., the vacuum exhaust) and routes the exhaust up and diffuses it would be awesome.

I had a 30 gallon ShopVac that I bought a muffler for. It did cut the noise but, because of its design, it mounted horizontally and would only rotate 30° or so. Like you, I wanted it to shoot straight up. Good idea, bad execution.

@@imdeplorable2241 I have zero experience modeling anything 3-D or the like, but it seems like it would be something rather easy to accomplish if you have the know-how. You really just need the same connector that the hose uses, but instead of it connecting a hose it just connects the exhaust/diffuser we're talking about.

The blower only works when you connect the hose to the air outlet hole. It doesn't operate when in vacuum mode. ;)

Likewise Pan!!!

I love my ego blower. But for just an enthusiastic car detailer, kind of too big of a unit to have in my garage with everything else. I have the Ridgid and love it. If they made that ego but half the size (which should lower the cost too) then I'd buy it.

Happy New Year, Pan! A bit off topic. I would love to see videos covering your preferred products for different protocols. I have a Subaru Outback daily driver that lives outside that I pressure wash and I desire tougher durable products over gentle glossy products for, and I have my wife’s C8 Corvette that is garage-kept that I rinseless wash that I desire more gentle and deep/glossy products over durability for. Does this make sense? Keep up the great videos.

I always wash my cars in my garage, using my pressure washer, so my ritual doesn't change. Other than when I make a tutorial for a rinseless wash for those how need that.

My Ego blower overheats constantly when using, disappointing. Turbo mode triggers the cutting out issues.

got the ridgid cordless. but may need to swith to this

Same story as my flex vc6, the corded variant is like 3 times stronger and 1/3rd of the price. I already invested into dewalt batteries but wanted a good compact vac (the dewalt cordless sucks) so i just bought the corded one. Honestly this is pretty decent if a cord reaaaally isn’t an option due to living in an apt building or something, only then i would get something like this.

wow thats great. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those

That would be cool!

Tried it and returned it. Lacks power. Also it’s very heavy. Rigid still my #1

It looks cool and handy with all of those quirky attachments included, however, that price tag is really steep for casual and even professional high volume use. 😬The batteries in my country are really expensive on their own ($200-300 in the USA) and having to get many on top of a fast charger (more money) to quickly charge them in a timely manner so I do not get interrupted with an empty battery seems like a massive investment for the minor convinience of it being cordless. 🤔Just ask any mobile detailer who have used battery vacs for dirty cars and they will tell you what a nightmare it is to wait around for it to charge or spend lots of money on just batteries alone. It is not a bad idea nor product I can see the potential of this being a great solution for us detailers, but the price tag for the unit, additional batteries, and fast charger needed to have a decent experience for real world usage is what makes this a difficult selling point. Just doing a bit of math you can get a "Obsessed Garage Vacuum Solution" with the only "cord" being the vacuum hose on the reel for almost the same price, yet more powerful and does not need charging. 🤣 Of course, Im using USD not sure how much it is in your location. Other than that great product impressions Pan, curious how the machine would last on top of the life spans of the batteries you will use with it. Keep up the work! 🏆

Anyone know where to find compatible replacement vacuum bags for this new ego tool? Also, should we remove the filter when sucking water or is there a dedicated water filter (like like on ridgid) we can buy?

Quick question. Would it be possible to use the blower port on the ego vacuum and use with a good tip for interior detailing - instead of a tornador. I don’t have an air compressor and. Wondering if the ego blower with the Bluetooth is strong enough. Thanks so much

EGO missed the mark on this one, purely in price. I bought their 18" chainsaw for $350 because it came with a 5Amp battery. This vacuum isn't a good deal, be it bare tool or in kit form.

Can you compare this to the Milwaukee dual battery vacuum?

Tried it. Returned it. Not that great for auto detailing. Lacks power. VeryCool features though. Rigid vac still my #1 vac for detailing.

If you are only doing one or two vehicles, a 250 ml is more than enough. 1L bottles are for larger volume shops. And the rest of the mini series will come later this month.
