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.

33 customers mention7 positive26 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the noise of the vacuum cleaner. They mention that it is notably loud during operation, and has a higher pitched sound than other shop vacs. Covering the tube doesn't change the motor sound, and it has the same high pitched, whiny motor as the knock off brand.

"Very LOUD, no extension and barely any attachements! Flimsy built for CRAFTSMAN. Get a better one." Read more

Fits on a 5 gallon bucket!!
5 Stars
Fits on a 5 gallon bucket!!
First off this is a great little vacuum perfect size.. BUT after using it to suck up a bunch of water from a clogged dishwasher I took the vacuum top off and set it in my bucket for a second while I drained it only to realize that the bucket form fitted into the shape of the vacuum! Sure enough powered it up and actually had fairly good suction! Definitely good enough to pull liquid through. The picture is suction holding the bottom part of the vacuum off the ground!Basically makes this a 5 gallon volume vacuum in a pinch when you want to grab more than the small container that comes with the vacuum will it would allow
Thank you for your feedback
