We used to have one too but this isn't made for tropical weather. Its body (hard, probably non-ABS plastic) became brittle and just literally disintegrated. The one in Michigan (where it's super cold) buhay pa rin at maayos.

If you need it's dust catching ability (using water), Karcher has a similar product, 20K plus lang.

Right now, we just use Ridgid industrial vac for the house and cars.
