This vaccum i just what i needed. Not only does it have power, but it has plenty of attachments. It also came with an extra filter. We are building a new house, and i had to have a wet/dry vac. I looked everywhere, but came to Sears because of their reputation.
We attach the attachment hose directly to our planer, saws, etc. It saves so much work. No more particles in the air!. The large tank saves on dumping time.
I recommend this to anyone that is doing a remodel or new build.
I got this as a gift when I wanted a shop vac. It worked great as a vaccuum and then I accidentally discovered that it also had a blower capability. That was a wonderful discovery! When I am working in my shop, I don't want to use my gas blower because the gas fumes are too potent. Now I have the ability to blow everything off and suck it up. Well worth buying. I have had no problems with it.
I did some considerable research when looking for a wet/dry vac. This one was very moderately priced and has a ton of power. I started vacumming my garage, but then tried blowing everything out with the 160 mph winds. I was able to blow even the smallest amount of sawdust out of the cracks in my garage. Excellent tool. I wouldn't recommend all Craftsman tools, but this one I will endorse.
I bought a 4.5 HP 12 gallon ShopVac and ended up returning it once I saw this item in Sears. It is nearly the same price as what I paid for the ShopVac and nearly twice the machine. The hose is large enough so larger items don't clog it up and it has a nice array of attachments. The extra filter it comes with is also a plus. I really don't think you can go wrong with this one.
I found this shop vac to be very handy and quite powerful. I have a 20 year old Craftsman shop vac that I had bought for a similar price. This unit has more features and is a great deal. The price was very reasonable compared to other brands.
Product performs well, and upgraded power, and tools on board are a welcome feature. Still have first 16 gallon vacuum I bought in 1985, and it still works great; hope this one does as well.
The Craftsman 16-gallon wet/dry vac is compact in size and ideal for household jobs. Its 6.0 peak hp motor has the power to tackle many chores. Insert the hose into the rear blowing port and the vac doubles as a 170 mph lawn/leaf blower, perfect for removing leaves from the yard, driveway or garage. A 20 ft. power cord and flexible 7 ft. Pos-I-Lock hose combine for extended reach.
