I have an ash vac weighing about 30 lbs. Is this item substantial enough to handle the vac?

I would think so. We have a large planter on it, and it's been very sturdy. We love it, I think you will too.

I would think so, I have a very heavy plant on it and am able to move it about. I don't move my plant as much as you will the vac, so I don't know if my answer is helpful.

This is a pretty hefty caddy with 6 strong casters... It should be perfect for the job. Hope this is helpful...Phoebe

The hose is thicker, it's a better quality than standard shop vacs. It is not that heavy. It is very flexible.

This vacuum will most definitely tip over. It's fine in the upright position, but if you use the hose, it will fall over. You have to curl the hose around it and pull from the front to avoid tip over.

This is a very basic no frills, no attachments, vac. But it is only 10 pounds. So you should be able to use it on steps.

not a problem for me. it is heavy, but that is to be expected for a heavy duty item.

Not sure how much it weighs. I wouldn't call it 'lightweight' though. I can carry it easily enough, but it is heavy for a vacuum.

Just put my DC33 on the scale, and it is just over 17 lbs. But I also checked the Hoover upright I replaced, and that is just under 17 lbs although it felt much heavier. I think the DC33 is better balanced. I have bursitis in my shoulder and a lower back injury, and I find the Dyson much easier to use.

The kit is made for a small vac. I have a small ash vac and I still had to add tape to the connector of this kit because the hose opening to the ash vac is to big. So if it is a full size shop vac it probably won't fit.

Afraid not. It handles like a much lighter vacuum than it really is, but am afraid that it does not move on its own.

Not if you carry it on your back. If that's what you want it primarily for then I would choose a shop vac instead, but it is definitely possible.

No it is not heavy. It is very easy to move around. The only thing I have a problem with is that the utility hose is very short. When I use it I usually knock over the main part of the vacuum. Very good suction.

The vac would work very well but keep in mind the hepa filter is expensive. Mine does a good job on floors but I,m using for lead renovation work. For other jobs I use a vaccum wih cheaper filters.

Absolutely, I've had this vacuum for two years now and it works as well as the day I brought it home. I have two dogs that track a ton of mud and dirt in the house. I've used this vacuum to handle small gravel, ash from the fireplace, spilt dry food and cereal, etc. I have yet to see it not pick something up. The suction is so strong, I often hold the head an inch or two over stuff and it sucks it right up. You will not be disappointed with this!

It will handle that weight easily. From my own experience, I found it quite difficult to learn to use. I'm still working at it.

Hello: If you're in reasonable health I see no problem with the issue of weight. The unit will be sitting on the surface when in use. The only time weight is a consideration is when the machine is lifted for storage. About the same weight as a large vacuum cleaner. BTW: Unit still in use and has not experienced any failures. The wife loves it. She uses it to clean the back porch. Need to be careful with the real heavy spring snow to keep the motor from getting overloaded and slowing down. A little at a time is a good rule to remember. Sure beats the shovel.

I feel that it is enough blowing power to. It has a very strong, and I mean very strong blowing power for such a small vac. It's very impressive!!!

NO. This is the heaviest vac I've ever owned. The very first 2 things I noticed on its first us was 1) had no light (my last 2 had lights). 2) how heavy it was to push/maneuver around. Already going to purchase another vac
