This will do anything. I have had less than a month and I have already used this several different times and ways. My husband and I cleaned out our garage and I absolutely didn’t want to use my vacuum cleaner so this was perfect. It worked so well and since it wasn’t heavy, I was able to use it. Got large pieces of trash and leaves that had blown in. Also used it to get some standing water that was in my garage. I will definitely be keeping this and using it for a long time.

This wet/dry vac worked excellent! It was extremely easy to assemble with easy to understand instructions.The suction is very strong, I used it and was surprised how well it worked. The cord is a good length that I don’t really have to worry about working close to an outlet. The hose has a clip so it doesn’t come unnattached when pulled by the hose. This shop vac saved us a lot of money recently we live in an older house and when it rains a lot our basement floods. I was able to use it with ease cleared the basement of water in no time. Emptying it was a breeze also I am extremely happy with my vac. Easy storage is always a bonus and I can store the hose and attachments inside the vac when not in use.

This is a very big vacuum with extra big hoses. It has incredible suction power. The large diameter hoses cut clean up time in half. It comes with a large capacity holding tank to handle the largest of jobs. It works great as a dry vac and doesn’t blow dust or dirt back into the air. Sucking up water is very easy with the large attachments that come with it. I like the drain being on the bottom so I don’t have to lift it to dump it out. I just wheel it to where I want to dump it and open the valve. Whoever thought of that feature is a genius. The large hoses cut clean up time in half. By far the best shop vac I have ever owned!

I have owned quite a few of the shop vacs and they get the job done.

Excited to get a new Wet/Dry vac and what better brand to get than Craftsman. I had a different Craftsman model for more years that I can remember and loved it. Would still have it if my son in law didn’t “borrow” it. I’d have to say the wheels were the only thing that I had to put any time in when putting together. They weren’t hard to install but it took some wiggle and pushing. I love the size, 12 Gal as I mostly use mine to suck up saw dust and having one this size keeps me from having to empty it after every use. I’ve found this particular Vac to be quite powerful. It is a bit loud but I think that’s because of the powerful suction. It is lightweight but is made of great quality material. The power cord is long enough for me to move it all around my garage without having to plug into an extension cord.

Craftsman 12 Gal 6.0 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac with Attachments is such a GREAT Vac!!. Cleaning with this vac is so quick and easy my husband breezed through the garage. It’s easy to assemble and very durable. With a 6.0 Peak HP it has great suction and moves around so easy. The assorted nozzle cleaning tools makes cleaning easy especially getting into crevices. It has a 20 ft power cord which is a plus and a rear blowing port which came in so handy. Once the garage was done I tackled the house. Craftsman 12 Gal 6.0 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac with Attachments is very efficient and I highly recommend it.
