    The Craftsman Wet/Dry Vac has been an absolute work horse. April 06, 2011

    The Craftsman Wet/Dry Vac has been an absolute work horse for us. It has sucked better than any other vacuum that we have ever owned. The work it has done for us cannot compare to any other. It has been that good. As soon as you turn it on you can hear and feel the power in the Vac. The multiple accessories make it a priceless tool. It can be used for either the common household or auto or boat or even the in my business as a construction worker. It has been such a blessing to us that we actually bought a second one so that we always have one readily available. My father also loves the Wet/Dry Vac and often borrows ours. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who gets water in their basement or even the smallest jobs. My only regret about this Vac is that the cartridge filters are so expensive to replace. I often request them for a Christmas present. But, everything else has been absolutely fantastic.

    Odd size hose, very few attachments will work January 21, 2011

    Craftsman is a good brand, I would recommend the shop vac with 2-1/8" hose. The 1-7/8" hose is a very odd size with attachment limitations. I returned this vac and paid $10 more for the 17769 which comes with more attachments/longer electrical cord/and the 2-1/8" hose-which has many options for attachments. This product will not allow you to store the attachments in the top compartments...even those are for 2-1/8" attachments. Not sure why this model is offered.
