Sucks big time!
This little thing is a beast! 10â cord means you donât need an ext cord all the time to use it. Easy to store and easy to transport/maneuver.. Very handy for the smaller jobs and for when you donât want to roll around the big shop vac. Nice flexibility in the hose. The filter for dry is held on by rubber band. Stays secure. So if you lose the rubber band or it breaks, no specific nut or fitting needed to secure it. Just get another cheap rubber band. Two attachments clip into holders on the body but they have a tendency to pop out if bumped too hard as theyâre also positioned at the cord wrap. No big deal.. Wet or dry. Gets the job done in a powerful, compact package. Worth it.

Little sucker works great!
This works great for carpet spot cleaning and vacuuming car. It sucks up water 10x better than any âcarpet cleanerâ which struggles to retrieve 10% of the water it sprays back into the tank. This tank is always full of water. It can also double as a dry vacuum and has about double the suction of our fancy house vacuum. Itâs very lightweight and can easily sit inside a car as you vaccum. Does the job and great value.

Works very well!
This bad boy may be a bit small but it is powerful! It is made of quality materials and the cord is long enough we never had to plug it into an extension cord. It has powerful suction and makes tough messes easy to clean. Highly recommend!

Great little vac, but…
All-in-all, this little vac does all I need it to do, but I’m a bit disappointed with the way the hose doesn’t attach securely to the housing. The directions say to push into the designated hole for either input or blowing and when done so it very easily comes out. Much to my dismay, I pushed harder to no avail.Eventually I get out some gaffers tape (similar to duct tape) and try attaching the hose to the unit from the outside. Nope, no go. I then wrapped a piece of the gaffers tape once time around the hole end of the hose and was able to push it into the unit and it was snug. It held up even with all my maneuvering with the hose while working. Besides the hose issue, I think a longer extension cord and hose would be a nice revision for this vac. Also, an optional pipe extension piece would be useful. If you don’t mind a few work-arounds, this vac will do the job for smaller projects. I even wondered if a strap to hold it cross-body would work to free up a hand for vacuuming or blowing being it is light and small. 4 stars.

The Perfect vacum cleaner for those who abuse them
At 2.5 gal capacity it’s easy to tote around. Wet or dry vac it functions very efficiently and you can be hard on them for tough jobs, they’re well made.

Really good suction for such a small unit.
Got this vac to go beneath my work bench. Works very well for keeping the top of the workspace clean.It’s much quieter than my 5-gallon shop vac.

Good value & works great
Bought the inexpensive, small Craftsman vac & it works great. Quality of plastic seems to be not dense or solid so I was concerned at first. However, I have used it many times & it has held up well.It has more than enough suction power for picking up things as long as debris arenât too big for the hose. Vacuum itself doesnât weigh much â light enough to carry & lift while using without getting tired.One caveat, havenât had the opportunity to use it as a wet vac (lucky).

So very happy I made this purchase!
I just got this a few days ago and have put it through itâs paces but I canât claim it has withstood the test of time yet.I am so happy I finally got this! Iâve 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 5â hose where most other brands seem to have only 4â. The extra length is perfect with the 4â rigid extensions.Additionally, the electrical cord is 10â, 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. Itâs small and intended for little pick up jobs and the motor is perfectly adequate for those kinds of jobs.Additional noteâ¦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 donât agree, perhaps they listened and corrected the problem? Also I saw complaints that the hose doesnât stay inserted into the machine, again, thatâs 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 doesnât 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.

Easy to carry. I used the blower to separate tree debris from gravel. Our high powered blower just scattered the gravel .

My old 12 year old 5 gallon Shop-Vac’s motor burned out last week while vacuuming water flooding into my basement so I got this little one and it is much quieter and works fine.

The Good: the suction on this is really good. It’s lightweight and easy to carry around.The Bad: the hose keeps coming off if you pull it even slightly too hard. I wish there was a long attachment so that I could reach further places.
