    Something to note December 27, 2008

    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, seems to be a quality product. Good suction, quiet, not to bulky and should meet/exceed the needs of most people.

    Mr. Fahrenheit November 16, 2008

    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 that to get a new wheel and filter (which is time for replacing) I could darn near just by a new one. Which I will probably do, excepted it won't be another Craftsman. I was so disapointed/aggravated in this one design flaw. It was certainly not up to the quality that I had come to expect from Craftsman.

    Craftsman 6 gal Wet-Dry Wac - perfect size and powerful November 30, 2011
    By dqpd2003 of Rochester, NY

    I have had this for about a year now and I use it all the time for cleaning out the car, garage and basement.  It's the perfect size for toting around and 6 gallons is plenty big enough for regular household use.  It's very powerful and has plenty of suction.  I haven't needed to use it as a blower since I have a craftsman leaf blower already.  It would be nice if they came with more attachments.  But the price was still very reasonable.

    This vacuum help me a lot November 22, 2010
    By FiniyJoe of Maunabo, PR

    I like it because it has power, the filter is easy to remove and replace. It is light easy to lift and carry. Bring several pieces, but you can add and replace, such as the brush to clean the floor. Its price is moderate and affordable for any budget. It is durable, mine is almost 8 years and has not lost strength.

    "Me gusta porque tiene poder, el filtro es fácil de remover y cambiar. Es liviana fácil de levantar y cargar. Trae varias piezas, pero se le pueden añadir y reemplazar, como por ejemplo el cepillo para limpiar el piso. Su precio es moderado y accesible a cualquier presupuesto. Es duradera, la mia tiene casi 8 años y no ha perdido fuerzas."
