I have had my ShopVac for over five years now and I always found it a hassle when vacuuming out my car. I would have to roll it to one side and then pull it all the way around to get to the other side. Occasionally this would be impractical because my wife's vehicle would be in the garage at the same time and there would be no room. With this new nozzle, the vacuum can remain in one central position in the garage and easily reach both sides of the car, both front and back seats as well. The extra long hose really makes a difference. I have also noticed that this nozzle produces a much more powerful suction than the one that came with the ShopVac. Even with a dirty filter the suction was strong. The only problem I had when I first got it was some difficulty getting the nozzle mounted onto the hose. It was so tight I thought that it might have been the wrong size. After awhile it finally slid on fully and I have no intention of ever taking it off. I highly recommend this product.
