Just purchased and realized there was one accessory missing. The crevice tool. Find it hard to believe that you can sell a wet/vac without a crevice tool. I can do without the others, but this one I can not. So, if you want this vac & need this tool, add $7.99 to the price of the wet/vac. Otherwise,...

I've had this unit a couple of years. Almost immediately after purchasing it the wheels started falling off. If it tilted in any way while moving it around my shop or my vehicles a wheel would inevitably fall off. Everything stopped while I put the wheel(s) back on. Well, now I've lost one and just realized...

This is a great vacuum cleaner, sucks up everything, wheels roll easily, has a good long cord on it. The thing i like the most is how quiet it is, The thing I like the least is the lack of accessories. Do not worry though, it came with a 20% odd coupon for tips and accessories in the box. Great for home and auto, highly recommended.
Have had it for a year now with no problems. Strong enough for handy man-ing around the house. Picks up dust, nails, loose dirt, concrete bits, etc. with no problem. The stock filter is quite good for dust and cleans off by just banging it inside the trash can. Hose is big enough without being unwieldy. Great size for toting around the house.
Had a similar Shop Vac burn out on me. Plus the Shop Vac filter was a worthless open cell foam that let all the dust go through.
It lacks a good way of storing the cord on the unit. It would also be nice to be able to redirect or diffuse the exhaust.
Definitely...

we are doing some work in are basement, puting up drywall. i needed something that would clean up without making alot of dust.
i bought another shop vac at walmart about the same price, smaller motor and tank. it didn't do the job, the hose was smaller and would get clogged. so i took it back. i didn't expect to find another one with more power, a bigger tank and a bigger hose for the same amount of money that i spent at walmart. so when i saw this one in a recent KMART ad i decided to give it a try. boy am i glad i do and it's a CRAFTSMAN!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! it works great! lots of power, great...

I've owned this vacuum for about 4 years. I used it sparingly over the years and I always used the high filtration bags. Regardless, the motor does not use bearings, but cheap bushings that wore out (telltale sign was the motor became very noisy and the rpm dropped). The bushings cannot be individually replaced, and the replacement cost of the motor costs more than the vacuum itself.
I also own a 10+ year old Shop-Vac that still works great, but it's too small. I'm going to try a Shop-Vac next time around. I'm sadly disappointed in the quality/durability of this Craftsman shop vacuum along with...

It's amazing the uses you find for a wet/dry vac when you get one. We needed to clean out the car before a long trip, so we purchased this and the car-cleaning kit. Before you knew it, the car was clean. After we got back, I decided to just suck out the (cold) ashes from my fireplace. Cleaned out the fireplace way faster than usual! This vac is sufficient for most household duties, and the price cannot be beat!
i really like it, just wish it had more attachments, needs more wet vaccuum attachments. other than that it did good when i used it in my suburban.lots of suction power, got up alot of dog hair.
I like the way it performs. It has good vacuuming power.
With it's large caster fenders for implement storage, it is a little bulky moving around my somewhat small workshop. The tubes and hose seem a little large and the crevice tool would work better a little smaller. However, it does do the work that I need it to do. I don't believe you can beat it for the money.
Works very well for woodworking clean up and fireplace ash. Only suggestion is something to catch nails/screws that if catch together in the coorogated tubing block the suction and require being manipulated out the way they came. Other than that... works well.
I WANTED ONE FOR A LONG TIME. MY CRAWL SPACE GOT WATER IN IT AND I GOT THIS WET VAC TO SUCK IT UP. IT WORKED GREAT AND DID A GOOD JOB. I LIKE THE FEATURE THAT LETS YOU BLOW WITH IT. ONLY USED IT ONCE SO FAR BUT I AM VERY PLEASED. I ORDERED IT ON LINE IN THE MORNING AND GOT AN EMAIL THE SAME DAY TO PICK IT UP AT THE STORE. GOOD SERVICE SEARS. GOOD PRICE TOO. DID NOT COME WITH CAR, CREVICE AND FLOOR NOZZLE BUT SEARS HAVE THEM PRICED RIGHT IF YOU WANT THEM.
If all you need to vacuum is sawdust and general cleaning, then it's alright. If your sawdust has nails or heavy chips of wood you will have to empty the hose periodically because it does'nt have enough suction to get it to the container. I used it with a smaller diameter hose and it did substantially better.
Was given this vac as a gift for the renovation of our 154 yr old home. It has worked great so far. I only wish there were more attachments included.
I cannot imagine how the bigger more powerful models work. With only 3 hp this one picks up everything. A 6 hp will have to take the carpet off the floor. With this mighty little machine I almost create jobs just to get a chance to use it. Great value for the money.
I gave this as a gift for my husband, and he loves it! It is the perfect size for our cozy apartment, and is easy to bring to and from our garage for storage. I was worried it might be too small, but I was wrong. With a toddler in the house, this shop vac is a lifesaver-it gets all the cheerios and broken crayons out from under the couch, and cleans so much more. I trust Craftsman because it's what my Father always bought, and I am always amazed at the quality and value of each new tool or machine I bring home. We are a happy Craftsman family!
