Work Hero CD1 / CD2

Bought this March 2022. After using first time unit got very hot after only a few minutes of vacuuming. It burns your hand holding it by handle.
Using in confined areas like a car means the air coming out is so hot that you need to have the unit outside. Not very convenient. Power cord length non existent so you need to carry a long extension lead wherever you go. No small vacuum head.

This is our second Work Hero The first one lasted for about 5 years. It blew up through no fault of it's own. We had an electrical fault and the RCD did not work. This little vacuum was used in the house, the shed (I do a lot of woodwork etc) plus cleaning the cars. Also we have a grubby Bulldog. I have no problem with recommending the Work Hero.

This vacuum is 50/50 for me
Pros.. good suction, lightweight, easy to clean
Cons.. the cord is very poor quality and it gets caught up on everything and gets kinks etc in it. Plus there’s nowhere really to store the cord unless you wrap it around but I do a lot of cleaning and don’t want to waste time winding/unwinding.
The wheels underneath are terrible, it constantly tips over or runs over the cord and drags it along.
Lastly mine just blew up. I turned it on and sparks came out from where the cord comes from. Not surprisingly they only have a 6 month warranty and I bought it early this year so no go now.
I don’t think I’d recommend it unless the price was a lot cheaper. It’s too expensive for the hassle and quality

Bought 5 months ago. This week I took the machine back to the store to have the cord replaced under warranty as it was starting to 'kink' and the inner electrical wires had become exposed in parts of the cord. I have only ever wound up the cord and stored it over the included hook as shown to me by 2 separate sales consultants.... I was told that the cord was not covered under warranty and was blamed for damaging the cord!! I called consumer affairs who agree that the damaged cord should be covered by both the 6 month warranty and a product gu...

We needed a vacuum to zip around the warehouse floor just to keep it tidy, so I wanted a light, compact and cheap one as it was just going on a concrete floor with typical warehouse messes...nothing large or heavy. This was about $150 from godfreys and is the best vacuum we've ever owned! This thing lives up to its name! It's a Hero! We now take it home when we want to give the floors a thorough clean as the Dyson cordless we have is ok, but not like the Work Hero. It sucks like no other vacuum I've ever seen! And we only got this one because i...

2 years have passed I have dropped the work hero vacuum cleaner broken the top around the switch, and it still goes! Talk about Work Hero, tuff as nails, never had a vacuum like it.

I purchased this vacuum in February this year for my domestic cleaning business. The suction is fantastic, it takes a long time to fill, and it doesn’t need bags, which means it’s cheap to run. It was a great price for a commercial vac too. I haven’t found the cord to be too short as other people have commented, so perhaps this was changed along the way, as those reviews are dated. It loses a star for the exhaust, which blows quite hard out the front of the machine, meaning pet hair and the like (don’t point it at open fireplace!) get blown aro...

Have been using vacuum to dig holes in a sandy location. Vacuums sand up 2 metre below ground. Would have sucked up well over 300 kg of sand and still works well. Best work shop vac I have ever had the bag filter is easy to clean. Great performance for so little money, it's easier to vacuum the pavers with this vacuum rather than sweeping. Would buy another one, no problem.

I got this vacuum cleaner about one year ago..i was using it everyday because i got a 2 bed room house with carpet..the suction of the vacuum cleaner was brilliant but it just worked for 1 year..and now i have to buy something again..the manufacturer should increase the warranty its just 3 months or 6 months..

Originally purchased for the shed - but use everywhere.

No bags, very large bin - very simple to use, very powerful I recommend it.

I have used Dyson and miele vacuum cleaners and this is as good, can be used everywhere. Does not loose suction does not need too be emptied for months

It was bought for the shed, But tried it in the house first. We could not believe the amont of fine dust it picked up after our house vaccuum. Now it gets pinched from the shed all the time. It cleans up the cars,and our mororhome seats and removes the fine dog hair, like majic. The only downside is the plastic clips that hold the canister on. They need to be tighter. Otherwise, it's perfect !
Hicky.

This vaccuum cleaner has a 10 metre cord, low power 1200W motor performing suction better than that of a 2400W vaccuum cleaner. I have used three different dyson and miele vaccuum cleaners and found this Work Hero is as good as one of the dyson and easily beats the other three in picking up pet hair and dust ! No bags to buy, contents go into the large round tin which some may find emptying to be a little unhygienic because the opening is so wide. ie you don't need to empty it as often as the smaller vaccuum cleaners. I paid 160 dollars for it which is fair price for a vaccuum cleaner that does the job! It is still going strong with no imperfections although I have used it so much.

The Work Hero vacuum cleaner is very powerful and has great attachments. And no bags. It's perfect for cleaning the car! Small and easy to move around and the attachments allow you to reach places that most others don't. You do need an extension cord to use it - the cord on the vacuum cleaner is very short. Overall great for the garage, car or anywhere.

No bags, simple to use, not as noisy as expected, very powerful I can't fault it. If I was to reduce any stars for anything it would be the cord is very short (but it's an industrial vacuum cleaner you're expected to byo required extension lead) and if you pull it around too fast it could topple over.
Also I found the tube to be too short for me so I have to hunch over a bit (180cm).

I ended up buying 4 of this vacs and I am not sorry, it picks up everything I ask it to do. Great to use and so simple from dust to leaves, dog hair and anything in between. One thing I noticed that it doesnt loose suction. It is advertised as a industrial vac but is so perfect for the home and no noisier that a normal vacuum cleaner
I loved it from the moment is started
Not a real problem but you need to have a extension cord
