This replaced a similar aging Craftsman vacuum. It performed flawlessly for 15 years until I heard the motor throw a part (cooling fan blade). I was in the market for a new one and this fit the bill perfectly. Made the mistake of going to a full-line Sears store and discovered it was only on sale at one the new "Neighborhood Sears" franchises. So I went out of my way to make the purchase, but discovered a new type of Sears in the process.

Got it on sale for about 20 bucks. Not bad for the price.
I wanted something small that I could hook up to my router table.
It's better than not having a vac attached to the table, but nothing special--it lacks power, which I reckon is to be expected for something that was so inexpensive.
I have an older heavy duty Craftsman shop vac that is REALLY bulky, but that has loads of power (my old big one you could practically pick up a bowling ball with it!!).
Anyway, the hose and fittings are not very sturdy, and I can see how the pressure fitting will loosen up and not fit as well after a couple of uses, but again, I've got plenty of duck tape, and like I said you get what you pay for. I didn't want to spend a ton of money for something I'm not going to use much, so I got what I paid for.
Was originally going to get the Craftsman 100 dollar compact shop vac that hangs on the wall, but they didn't have any in stock when I went into the store.
This small model comes with a few additionally fittings, but they're a little flimsy. Would be nice is Sears made something that size with more HP and better fitting (I wouldn't mind paying a little more for that.)
One a positive note, it is light weight and easy to carry since the handle is built right in.
I'd rate it between a 3.5 and a 4, mainly because of the cheap price.

I was given this shop vac as a gift. I use it to clean up the messes the kids and I do not want the wife to find out about. Recently the kids busted our 40 gallon aquarium, we were able to get the glass and water up in a matter of minutes and were able to save the fish as well. Had to stop to dump the contents several times. I have used on glass, woodshavings, grass, and as touch up in my car. It is a life saver!
I purchased this vacuum to be our heavy duty lightweight vacuum. We use it to clean out our cars, clean up after a hair cut and whatever else we need. It is strong enough to pick up the bigger household messes yet still very lightweight.
It is just the right size for the little jobs of cleaning out the car. We have the larger version and love it so we didn't think we could go wrong with this smaller machine.
