I wasn’t quite sure when to change the bag, so after about two weeks of use on 2 horses, I opened the end of the vacuum and pulled it out. The 10′ hose is supposedly “crush proof”, but thankfully I haven’t tested that theory yet! A nearly full bag. The metal one comes with a small screw to help hold it in place, while the rubber one just slips on to the end of the hose. In a perfect world, the cord to plug it in would be retractable, but it’s simple enough to put up by wrapping it around two hooks on the outside of the body. I’ve also found that picking it up by one end and rolling it works too. It has little wheels on one end so you can drag the vacuum by the hose around the horse. The vacuum itself if pretty small, but is heavy at 32 pounds. The vacuum comes with two nozzle ends, one metal and one rubber for vacuuming legs and sensitive areas, and three bags. There aren’t a lot of options out there, with the high end Electro-Groom being a top choice, but also more than $600, and the Vac N’Blo receiving less than stellar reviews, so I went with the Rapid Groom after some research. I actually saw Sam go down in a giant mud puddle and completely submerge himself and Bear loves to get both sides dirty the minute I put him back out after a ride. My horses, Oh So in particular, love to be encrusted in mud. After this winter’s horrible wet and mud, I decided it was time to invest in a horse vacuum.
