    Great shop vac!! April 03, 2011

    Great for everyday use, lots of power!! It is a little cumbersome to move around, a smaller vacuum would have served my purpose better. But certainly, vacuums very well and I love all the attachments!! Makes it very versatile. Well worth the money, and with the Craftsman reputation behind it, how can you go wrong?

    this Craftsman wet/dry vac had crazy suction December 07, 2010

    I absolutely LOVED this vac.  I detail cars and tried to use the vac provided by work but it had no suction power compared to my personal vac, so I packed it to work everyday for about 4 months, then the motor burnt out on it.  I am thoroughly disappointed and just worked my first day without it.  I am considering buying a new one since this one worked so well, but I hope and pray it doesn't burn out like the last one...

    Big Vac for any job Craftsman 20 gal wet/dry Vac 6.5hp December 12, 2011
    By calstar888 of Oceanside, CA
    Pros:
    Powerful,Attachment Holders,Vacuum Bag Option,not too loud
    Cons:
    Hose could be longer,Does not have the brush attachment

    Got this monster when Sears had them on sale. Used for general clean up around the garage and odd places a regular vacuum isn't suited for. It is powerfull! Amazed what it picks up and had to exercise some caution when using it as it will suck almost anything that fits through the 2.5 inch hose. The car cleaning accessory kit is nice and does a good job on the car getting all that stuff that ends up in the carpets. Every bit as good as the car wash models. It is probably a lot more vac than I needed but if you can get one at the bargain price why Not. Overall a good performer and has plenty of attachments and filter types available if you need them....at an extra cost. I'm happy with mine and find it really great at cleaning out those heppa filters they put on everything you push air through. Cleans those filters as good as new and can save you some money by not replacing them all the time. If you need a wet-vac it is worth looking at.

    I've had one like this for 17 years and it is still great. November 26, 2011
    By fritzjb of Mesquite, Texas
    Pros:
    Powerful,Attachment Holders,Vacuum Bag Option
    Cons:
    Does not have the brush attachment

    I've had and used my Craftsman 20 gallon vacuum for over 17 years.  Its first job was to extract water from our house carpet and pad when a water bed leaked.  It paid for itself in saving the money to have an extraction or carpet company come clean up.  It easily sucks water out of carpet and pad, cleans construction litter, and has done many other wet and dry vacuum and blowing operations in my home, electrical, remodeling. and landscaping jobs.  I have even used it to suck water out of plumbing ditches.  I have loaned it to my friends.

    It sucks.  It blows.  It's a great value and asset.It is easily equal or superior to several "trade name" vacuums that sell for much more and/or have less power and fewer accessories.

    I highly recommend getting a high quality wet/dry filter because you can use a water hose to clean the wet/dry filter more quickly and thoroughly than knocking or blowing the dirt off.  I have also used a vacuum bag cover the filter to keep trash out of the crevices in it.  I bought an additiional hose to provide more flexibility and reach in blowing the insulation around in my attic.  A brush attachment would be an added benefit for some cleaning jobs.
