Bought a cheap soot vacuum off Amazon and it actually held up for 6 months

I was super skeptical. Spent like $80 on some no-name brand and figured I'd be replacing it in a month. But after cleaning 12 chimneys so far this season it's still going strong. Suction is decent and the filter bag hasn't torn yet. Anybody else take a gamble on a budget tool that surprised you?

Heard a guy on YouTube say cheap vacuums either die fast or just keep going with no middle ground.

Got a $30 one from Walmart years ago just to hold me over, still going strong somehow. Meanwhile my buddy bought the same brand and it died in three months. Makes no sense.
