Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Fein PB350 Electric Floor Brush seemed like a good idea: Take a first class (albeit heavy), quiet shop vac with good filtration and also make it the inside-the-house vacuum cleaner by adding a $240 powered floor brush kit. And as other reviewers note, it does a good job picking up dirt. Here's the problem:
* The power cord that runs from the unit to the power head is on the outside of the hose and tangles easily. The half dozen or so clips Fein includes are half what you need. The cord-and-hose combination, even with extra clips, is clunky and looks kind of dorky. Guys may find it acceptable but spouses may not.
* Undoing the power cord to swap out the power floor brush is a hassle, so I bought a second Fein hose, for $60 -- one for regular tools, one for the power floor brush, and I swap out the entire assembly
* Total cost works out to about $700-$800: 8 gallon vac, the wet/dry tools kit (about $100), the electric floor brush, and the second hose
We went this direction because our house vac was dying and I figured, what the heck, give it a try. If I did it again, I'd get the 6 gallon Turbo II not 8 gallon Turbo III because the still kind of bulky for what I do (although still way smaller than the 16 gallon Craftsman shop vac we still have#, and I'd buy the electric floor brush only if was around $100, not $240 #I bet Fein's unit costs are high because it's a low volume item). I have a one-generation removed Turbo III and the molding on the underside of the handle is like 3 knife edges that cut into your hand.
