Bette3 says "Reliable!" about Craftsman 16 gal. Wet/Dry Vac, 6.0 hp, 80th Anniversary

Bette3 — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:50:30 GMT

I love my Craftsman 16 gal. Wet/Dry Vac.! We have been getting some water in our basement with the snow melting, and this has been a life saver! It really does fill up fast and you have to be careful to remember to dump it before it does, otherwise it is to heavy to dump. ( I guess I should not scare you, as my husband has no problem dumping it when it is full) My vac. is several years old, and my husband uses it all summer on the patio, and other outdoor chores and it is just as efficient as it was the day we bought it three years ago. Because of the durable plastic it is made of, it even looks brand new. I would recommends this to anyone who is in the market for a wet/dry vac.!

c3ajeff says "Almost too much suction and lots of improvements over old vacs" about Craftsman 16 gal. Wet-Dry Vac, 6 Peak hp with Blower Port

c3ajeff — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:49:55 GMT

I bought this vacuum to replace a Shop Vac I've owned for nearly 20 years. I had bought a used mini van for a great price but it was a little dirty inside. I decided it was time to break down and buy a new vacuum.

I went to clean the stained carpet in this fairly new van and the vacuum sucked so hard I could barely move the tool on the carpet. Eventually I selected to correct tool for the job which worked like a charm. I like how it sucked all the water out of the carpet as it dried very fast even though it was raining outside.

I read some reviews before I bought this particular vacuum and I have to say that I don't see any problems with it. I have used it several times (although I have not used the blower yet) and I like how it's 'squatty' so it's not too easy to tip over even if you're pulling it over a cord or something that would make my old vacuum tip (and then you know what happens, the ball goes up into the vacuum and so you have to shut it down and wait for the ball to drop, and...

My husband is truly very hard on his tools, but he didn't find this a long lasting one. The motor burned up after a year, just outside of any warantees.

I was very impressed with this vacuum. It is the perfect size for car cleaning. Doesn't take up a lot of space and has great suction power. The attachments and even hose storage are very convenient.

quebecpq says "Craftsman Wet Dry Vac, There's no substitute" about Craftsman wet dry vac

quebecpq — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:29:48 GMT

I received this 10 gallon wet dry vac 2 years ago as a christmas present. I use it for practically EVERYTHING. Use it for car, truck, home. My fiancee has a hoover home vacuum and she doesn't even use it anymore as she uses the Craftsman Vac. She states it's better than any conventional vacuum as it has more suction power and picks up generally much more and has greater capacity before emptying the resevoir as opposed to a small ****** bag. My dad used Craftsman tools and he led by example as growing up with a tough, reliable, reputable MADE IN USA brand. There's simply NOTHING better quality than Craftsman. If Craftsman makes it, I will buy it.

Stragger says "Could have been much better for pennies in manufacturing cost." about Craftsman 17066

Stragger — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:09:36 GMT

What happened to shop vacuums?! I looked at a couple different manufacturers and they all seem to relish the size of their storage tank. All I really wanted was a powerful motor, and a simple design for a reasonable price. Most of them are junkie, and expensive! Not a good combination, is it!

The 8-year-old Craftsman shop vacuum that I had died. [6.25HP-16 Gal]. I used it often, but only a couple times as a blower. Apparently, the device is not designed to be a blower, because each time you move it, you have to fight the gyroscopic action of the spinning elements. This put too much strain on the bearings, and the impeller started rubbing on the plastic case. It took no time to burn out the motor. (Too bad I couldn't find a replacement motor, or better yet, bearings. That was the Good Old Sears.)

Well, it was a good workhorse as a vacuum, so I decided to get another. The current 16-gal unit (Model #17066) is nearly identical to the one I had, but with some changes.

rstampa says "Best Vac I've ever owned" about Craftsman wet dry vac

rstampa — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:06:37 GMT

I purchased a 12 gal Craftsman shop vac a month ago. I was quite surprised how powerful and quiet it was. It cleaned up my work area up in no time flat. So the cleanup after my project was a snap. I also used it to clean off my ceiling fans. And believe me there must have been a inch of dust and grim on them. Pluse none of the dirt flew off the blades like my other vac did. Truly a great investment.

Joeycj says "Love My Vac" about Craftsman 16 gal. Wet-Dry Vac, 6 Peak hp with Blower Port

sears-feed — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:30:09 GMT

I'm also one of those people who think all homes need this shop vac. I have a very old, fat cat who loves to scratch her litter out of her litter box. That vac cleaned up her shedding hair and the litter so fast and was easy to use I will never be without one. Looking forward to cleaning out the car also. It was easy to assemble. The only problem was the extra air-filter was damaged when I opened the box. Returned it and had no trouble receiving a new one, at no charge. Thanks for a really good product....

I've had this vac for 1 month now, and it's a work hog! I use it to clean my car regularly. We had water in our basement, and used this, and it was gone in less than 60 seconds. Truly amazing. It has a bottom valve for purging the tank. I paid $99.99. At $79.99, it is a steal!...

JimLar88 says "specs and featuires" about Craftsman 20 gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum

sears-feed — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 09:15:13 GMT

1. I look for consistency in specifications to make a buy. This unit has the handle and wheels (bigger wheels would be better on a job site). 2. Filter spec should be listed. 3. HP should be listed. 4. Most importantly, Sears should move to snap lock on all fittings. The current fittings either lock-up solid or fall apart while working....
