CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17607 16 Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Wet Dry Vac with Detachable Leaf Blower, Portable Shop Vacuum Wet and Dry with Filter, Dust Bag, Hose and Attachments for Garage, Outdoor Cleaning

This vac is awesome. It has more power than a new carwash vac. It is much larger than I was expecting, but it is the best shop vac I have ever owned.

I am very pleased with the vacuum. It was a replacement of my old Craftsman and actually works better. It has plenty of power and gets the job done. it is a little loud but that is just like my old one. Sturdily built. I definitely recommend it.

My favorite purchase on Amazon. It sucks everything up in the garage. The detachable leaf blower blows much stronger than anticipated. It sucks. It blows. It’s the best!

This is bigger than I needed but was on sale when I bought it for less than the size I needed.It keeps my house super clean.

Likes:* Suction power. OMG, this thing will take your shoes off and away while you are standing on them.* Take the top off (not you Bob) and use it as a blower, great feature that i have actually used several times cleaning out my shop.* Maneuverable. While it is not the easiest thing to haul around, due to its size, it is actually not that bad, considering its size.* Tons of attachments. More than you can ever need.CONS:* This thing attracts dust, saw dust and it sticks to its body like glitter to your forehead...so i have read...The cause of it is static...the vacuum cleaner is immediately covered in dust a minute after taking it out of the box, it looks filthy and old.* The filtering process is still from 20 years ago. Same filter that gets completely caked with dust and impedes airflow after a while. So you end up having to cover yourself in dust while cleaning the filter...or having to vacuum the filter with another vacuum...you look silly vacuuming your vacuum.Flipping the giant tub over to empty it in a trashcan. Why isn't there a "drawer" style removable receptacle that you can pull out and take with you to the trashcan? Instead you have to take the top off and all its attachments fall off in the process, disconnect the hose and puck up the entire tub...unnecessary.* Noise. It is really loud. Too loud perhaps.WANTS:* You included more attachments than we will ever need but did not include a universal adapter? The adapter would be of great value, these things are used on dewalt, skilsaw, porter, little machines, big machines and they all have different size dust ports...* Do not ask that we maintain all the attachments sitting on the tub rim...every time we empty the thing the attachments fall off. Why not give us an attachment bag/case? We can go to it every time we need to change and the actual vacuum is free of any items sitting on it.* Modern casters/wheels. Those hard plastic casters are from the 70s. Get with the times and place something more like rollerblade wheels on it. Softer rubber is quieter and struggles less to go over an electric cord or any other obstacle. The casters it comes with seem to get stuck on everything...even the idea of rolling gets them stuck...except you leave your vacuum unattended for 10 seconds on you driveway, then the thing will roll away a quarter mile into the neighborhood's Karen from yard...OVERALL this machine really picks up the dirt, sawdust, and anything else you have laying around. It has some serious attempt at great engineering and does the job very well, a little more attention paid to the ease of use would go a long way improving it.

This seems to be well built. The packaging left some things to be desired, and I’m pretty sure it was an open box return sold as new. However, everything seems to be here and working so far. Will update this review in the future if any problems arise. So far I’m pleased!

Easy assembly works great.Lot of attachments.

It really does a great job at suction. I was impressed when I received this item. The power behind it and the fact that it doubles as a blower was great!!! There is only one thing I would change on this and that is the handle. I wish that the handle was on top of the machine rather than the side. Maybe they can design a handle on top that will move with you? Other than that, top notch!!
