Product Description
The CRAFTSMAN 2.5 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac, with a 1.75 Peak HP motor, is great at home, in the garage, or jobsite detail cleaning. With its small size and carrying handle, this shop vacuum goes wherever you need to clean. It's equipped with the crevice tool to clean hard-to-reach places and the utility nozzle good for a quick garage cleanup. This 2.5-gallon wet dry vac can also be used as a blower, making it a great two-in-one tool. If you're looking for a portable solution for small messes, requiring little storage space, this vacuum is the answer. *Gallons indicated reflect drum volume, not necessarily collection capacity, actual capacity dependent upon type of debris collected, condition of filter and other factors. Peak horsepower represents a level at or below the maximum horsepower output of an electric motor tested in a laboratory using a dynamometer.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The suction is very good, i was surprised, even with the long hoses and attachments!
Removed all the lint from the dryer, main reason i got it…but is easy to carry around and vacuum, where the bigger one would take to long and was too cumbersome.
Works grate for the cars, steps, anywhere you need good suction and not alot of space.
The vacuum has awesome pulling power…you can lose a sock, in a hurry. Hoses re-arranged can make a nice little blower, or helps blow out any debris in the hose.
Would definitely recommend and purchase again, for myself or a gift. Got mine at a nice price,too!
Look for additional 1 1/4 “ hoses or attachments, their listed all over Amazon! Follow through, the links on the page and you’ll find a plethora of hoses, filters, and attachments…I bought a coupla different things just having fun vaccuming!
It’s cool testing what and how many you can actually pick up!!
The size is awesome, but the ability to pickup heavier things makes this a goto vac, for the smaller jobs Vs dragging out the Biggun! Believe, you’ll be very happy with this lil ‘Craftsman’ !!
I am so happy I finally got this! I’ve been resisting because we have a 5 gallon professional version and I just had trouble justifying getting yet another vacuum. However, every time I have to haul the big one in from the garage and maneuver it (including wheels sticking out and big stiff hose) in and through the smaller indoor spaces, like in a bathroom, I was so frustrated. And you can well imagine that when water needs to be sucked up off the floor, I am probably already frustrated and really not ready to deal with a big hulking machine when I only need something small. This little machine is perfect!
I ordered 2 rigid extension tubes separately and am glad I did, these will be back savers. I chose this vacuum partly because it has a 5’ hose where most other brands seem to have only 4’. The extra length is perfect with the 4’ rigid extensions.
Additionally, the electrical cord is 10’, again, longer than other brands.
This motor has a lower peak HP than some other models but it passed the tests I put it through just fine. It’s small and intended for little pick up jobs and the motor is perfectly adequate for those kinds of jobs.
Additional note…I found that the hose can be coiled and stored inside the tub, fits perfectly and very convenient. I saw some reviews complaining about the stiffness of the hose but I don’t agree, perhaps they listened and corrected the problem? Also I saw complaints that the hose doesn’t stay inserted into the machine, again, that’s not my experience. It is designed to snap in and is removed by twisting and pulling. Both operations happened quite smoothly for me. Again, perhaps they have addressed the criticisms from the past?
The little holders that keep the attachments onboard are easy and functional, not to tight or too loose, easy to slip in and secure enough to carry around.
Anyhow, I am so happy to have this little vacuum that I can carry with one hand, even when full of water, into small spaces. It is a relief to know the next little flood will not have me wrestling with the big machine again. It doesn’t take much room so it is stored conveniently in the house, no more trips to the garage in a panic next time we have a flood to deal with.
