The Attix 8 gallon comes in three models: the Attix 8 Basic , the Attix 8 Autostart with Push to Clean Filter System , and the Attix 8 HEPA .
They are really designed for light contractor, light woodworking, light
office cleaning, or home shop or home use in mind. They are also the
most portable of the vacuums, so they are designed with mobility in mind, particularly if you have to move between job sites. SCROLL DOWN TO SEE A FULL TABLE SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON.
The Attix 8 Basic and the Attix 8 HEPA are identical and have the exact same power head. The only difference is the basic filters to 1.0 microns, which is perfectly suitable to capture drywall or sanding dust. The HEPA provides greater filtration to 0.3 microns, which is sometimes necessary for picking up asbestos, lead based paint, or for hospitals.
The Attix 8 Autostart with Push to Clean Filter System has some added features for the drywaller, woodworker, or picking up fine dust. The Autostart allows you to plug in a small hand tool (not over 600 watts) into the vacuum so that when the tool is turned on/off, the vacuum automatically turns on/off. The Push to Clean Filter system allows you to blow the filter off back into the vacuum canister by pushing a button on the top of the vacuum. This is a nice feature if you work around lots of dust; however, we have found that the push to clean system only offers about 5-10 times the amount of time between needing to bang or blow out the filter manually. Thus, if you expect to pick up a lot of dust, you should consider using a Filter Liner (which is a pre-filter) or bags to protect the filter from dust accumulation, OR you can use the Attix 12 RDFD XtremeClean model with self-cleaning filter system. The Attix 8 Autostart vacuum also has Soft Start technology, which gently gears up the motor over 2 seconds to decrease wear on the motor, particularly if you have multiple on/off cycles in a day. This enhances durability. This model also offers variable speed control so you can dial up or down the level of suction by controlling the speed of the motor.
The Attix 8 vacuums weigh about 24 lbs and are about knee
high in height. One good thing about
the 8 gallon models is that even though they are the cheapest of the
vacuums available, they do come with the same 1.0 micron washable,
reusable filters that the more expensive vacuums have (and if you order
a HEPA vacuum from us, we'll make sure you get a 1.0 micon filter in
addition to the HEPA filter, even though the manufacturer doesn't
supply this with the HEPA model).
All models come with a metal wand. You should note the Attix 8 Autostart model has a slightly
smaller 1.25" diameter hose than other models, which have a 1.5"
diameter hose. This is because the Attix 8 Autostart is designed with
sanding in mind, so you can hook a small hand tool directly to the
vacuum hose. We really don't get too many complaints of things getting
jammed up in the smaller hose, and if you ever need a 1.5" or 2"
diameter hose, you could buy this separately since the inlet on all
Attix models, regardless of 8, 12 or 19 gallon size, is 2" and can suit
a larger hose. And, if you ever need to adapt a 1.5" hose to a hand
tool, there is an optional tool adaptor.
Also, any non-HEPA model can be
converted to to have HEPA filtration instead of the standard 1.0 micron
filtration by purchasing a HEPA filter for your vacuum.
