Craftsman Clean N Carry 4 gal. Wet-Dry Vac, 5.0 Peak hp —
For 12 years we had an Oreck shoulder canister vac for household use. A great machine, but after 12 years it finally gave up. Faced with replacing it for $150, I explored other alternatives.
When the Craftsman Clean n Carry was featured in one of my Craftsman Club flyers, I had to check it out.
This handy little vac has enormous suction power and is quite manueverable around the house. It's got an extra long cord and hose which is nice. It's casters allow it to be pulled around easily, without marring the walls, and if you are inclined to carry it, it is light enough and well balanced for toting it around by it's handle. Should be great with pets.
Minor cons: Since it does not use a vacuum bag, it is best to empty and clean or change the filter out of doors. It can be messy. It doesn't come with a floor tool, however you can add almost any 1-1/14 attachment on the market. I added an "ShopVac"-brand floor tool (sorry Sears) which has a button that switches it from floor to carpet use. Also, the 2-piece wand seem to flex a bit too much when using it.
All in all, this is a great buy, and an amazing little vacuum. Buy it!
