Great features at a low price. Wide set casters roll easy and keep it from tipping over. Four HP motor has powerful suction and the snap lock hose stays connected when you pull it around with the hose. All the tools store on the base so they are always handy and the blower connection lets it double as...

“No bags”

I purchased this unit because of the special pricing. Only after I had it for a while and threw away the packagging did I realize that you cannot use a bag with this unit. The store sells bags for just about every other size wet-dry vac and I expected to be able to purchase one for this unit. Since the...

Bought this for my husband last year for Christmas and it has come in handy on several occasions. He loves pulling it out and using it whenever possible. It was a great price and the quality is wonderful!
I purchased this wet-dry vac to clear water out of our basement following a massive flood we had here in 2006. We had about 3" of water on the floor, and this was the very last vac available at our store (and we were the last ones in the region to still have any!). It worked like a charm, sucking water quickly and effortlessly.
I do recommend a few things: the hepa filter that's treated with teflon is a must. It's got great filtration and doesn't have to be removed for wet pick-up. Also, the noise/air diffuser that goes on the exhaust port makes a big difference with noise and keeping dust from...

Drove 60 miles to buy one because of flooding in our area.Everyone was sold out around home.Walked into Sears and heard salesman on phone say we have one left and say ya, we can hold it for you.Ya it was a shop vac.Went to K-Mart and bought their last one.(A Craftsman)Got it home and it had one caster wheel missing.Called the Sears parts number and they said we had to call K-Mart first and they would have to call Sears.Why is Craftsman sold at K-Mart then?Why is the owners manual from Craftsman?We had to use it anyway to suck up water in our basement.Works great,but make sure all the parts are...

I have other larger Sears Shop Vacs but this one was on sale for $39.95 (in store). We also purchased the HEPA filter. The vacuum is definitely not as noisy as the larger models and works very well...especially with the HEPA filter. It is a great shop vac. Since it is smaller it is easier to work with and not so bulky to manage.
Ripped out a shower pan with my father in law and before the final tear out he pulled it out to get the small stuff out of the way so he could sweep up the tile pieces. He didn't even think that this could pick up the tile, but man it has some power.
The only negative is probably a possitive, but it is a pain to use on floor mats as the mat moves everywhere the nozzel does.
This is a good deal for the money,and Consumer Report gave it a high rating. It is quite, and very powerful. I have had others in the past, but this is one of high quality.
Great shop vac. Pics up water with ease. 4.0 HP is plenty of power for home/shop/garage/car/unexpected flooding. The 9 gallon drum is perfect. It does not get too heavy before it is full. The casters could be upgraded to the larger ones to make it a bit more stable but all in all a great vac.
This vac works great. Large on-off swith is located right on the fron and is large, so it is easy to find. Great suction, picks up everything, so if you have small pets you want to keep, keep them away from this vac. The only item about this vac that I don't like is the hose. It is stiff and doesn't move easily. A different hose or one with an easy swivel would be nice.
I recently purchased this vacuum from a nearby Sears. You have to put the wheels on the bottom of the vacuum yourself and they aren't that easy to put on. But, when I turned it on, I was happier though. It has strong suction and a 140 mph blowing port. If you want a smaller size but very powerful vacuum, I recommend to get this one.
Very good product. Powerful, lightweight, agile, easy to use and reasonably priced. On top of that, it only costs $7.50 for a 2 year service plan. This is a great all around vacuum.
And I finally bought this one after some research and reading the reviews posted here. The pickup is very good. I am disappointed in how short the power cord is--actually had to connect it to an extension cord in order to vacuum any distance. I've only every used 1-2 other shop vacs, and my experience is still the same --they are not easily maneuvered. Not only is the power cord short, the hose is not very flexible. Overall, it's OK but I wish it was better designed.
This vac is the worst shop vac I have ever owned. in addition to its poor performance from day one, the ease of use is frustrating. the tools stick to the base and my wife cant even pull them out, the cord is too short. Just in the past year I have spent over $3000 in Craftsman tools at sears. I have had nothing but problems with 30% of those tools. I'm starting to think that Sears and the Craftman name are just not what they use to be.
