Honestly though, for anyone wondering, pretty much any shop-vac style vacuum that's not absolutly abused will last an eternity lol. They're just so simple!

I've had the smoke escape from the motors of a couple of shop vacs over the years....

Haha, how do you figure a household vac would have fared?

Most household vacuums like Shark and Dyson are tested to withstand 5 years. Henry is built to last 40

I use one inside my home and I have four cats. All my other vacuums have gone to sheet

I have a backpack style and only for the actual backpack portion is pretty lackluster it'd be amazing in a house with lots of stairs. It was clearly designed for someone without a weak back and with some degree of thick clothing. If it had a better-designed strap system with more padding it would be really good and if it was cordless it would be the best thing ever lol. Also, in traditional shop-vac style it also has an exhaust port you can hook up to for blowing.
