Description

The CRAFTSMAN 16 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac, featuring our most powerful 6.5 Peak HP motor, is the ideal solution for tackling large cleanup projects in the garage or on the jobsite that need the most power. Large scale renovations, builds, or floods are an easy task for this large shop vacuum. This wet dry vac includes a car nozzle, utility nozzle and wet nozzle. Also included is a large 2-1/2 in. diameter hose with added Dual-Flex that resists kinks and crushing. On-board hose storage plus accessory and power cord organizers help eliminate unneeded hassle and reduce overall storage space. The Qwik Lock Filter Fastening System allows for quick and easy wet dry vacuum filter changes. Equipped with an extra-large drain, the tank empties liquids quickly and easily. The blowing port directs high speed exhaust air through the hose giving you the ability to go from cleaning up from a renovation to blasting yard waste from the deck. 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.

  • Powerful and Versatile Shop Vacuum – A Great Investment
Size: 16 Gal 6.5 Peak HP w/Diffuser
If you’re looking for a vacuum with serious power, this is it. This shop vacuum delivers exceptional suction—comparable to the force of twin tornadoes—making cleanup quick and efficient. The variety of included attachments makes it easy to reach corners, tight spaces, and other hard-to-clean areas. While the design is somewhat bulky, it features convenient storage spots for all the accessories, which adds to its functionality. The suction power is truly impressive—nothing escapes it. Overall, a solid investment and well worth the money. ... show more

  • Easy to put together and works great (use soap to get casters on)
Size: 16 Gal 6.5 Peak HP w/Diffuser
Bought this 16 gallon shop vac during Prime Day and just put it together. I got it so I can vacuum my car and vacuum the garage floor. Instructions that come with it are very clear on both putting it together and using it. You need a Phillips screwdriver and a bit of dish soap - the soap is to ease the way for the casters as these can be tough to push in for a weak old person like me. It is a beast with vacuuming - completely sucks up dirt without hesitation. It came with a muffler so it is not really much more noisy than my indoor vacuum. I have not tried vacuuming liquid and hope I never need to do it (would only be if there was a flood of some sort) but so far I am very happy especially given the low Prime Day price I paid. ... show more

  • Excellent Vacuum Power and Holding Size
Size: 12 Gallon 6.0 Peak HP
Item was as described and not many parts for assembly. Large size that was able to quickly and reliably soak up water and dirty mess from hurricanes Helene and Milton in Florida. Was a game changer for rapid cleaning especially when there were many many other things to be done.

  • Excellent vac with a fiasco product experience
Size: 12 Gallon 6.0 Peak HP
CRAFTSMAN 12 Gallon 6.0 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac, Portable Shop Vacuum with Attachments is my second Craftsman shop vac. My first was the 16 gallon and there are noticeable differences between the two sizes. The only reason I don't have the 16 gallon is because of a not so honest person we dealt with selling our house so I gave away many items that I still needed, due to him giving us false closing info....anyway on to more interesting things to talk about. This 12 gallon shop vac is very very light weight. The 16 gal not so much. Attachments, canister, hose are all smaller in size than the 16 gal which I like. Suction is just 1 /2 mini horse smaller than the 16 gal but it suctions just as well and even better! Why better? Because the 1/2 (higher) mini horse power made the vacuum suction TO the floor with any attachments on it. Where as this vac suctions extremely well, draws up EVERYTHING from dust to concrete chunks AND doesn't suction its self TO the floor. I had to literally always shut off the 16 gal vac to get it to let GO of the floor when it had the floor attachment on. The crevice tool was never a problem. Comes with several attachments and the hose pieces. Once you put the hose pieces together they are VERY difficult to pull apart. They are very tight fitting, so that's a pro, the not pulling apart easily is a con but better than them not fitting together. Had the same problem with the 16 gal. We had to gently but firmly mallet the feet on. They are supposed to snap on....nope. Cons & my fiasco experience: My shop vac arrived WITHOUT screws of ANY kind. Zero, nada, zilch...none. Sooooo, I called Amazon customer service. Long story short they were going to give me a $17 discount for no screws but I felt this was a screwy offer - yes pun intended. WHY should I take that offer? The screws SHOULD have been included...PERIOD. I didn't want a discount, I wanted the screws to attach the hose holders and handle! Fiasco #2. - 6 lid teeth were broken off in shipping. So when the Amazon customer service person hears me griping about his $17 offer, I brought up the broken teeth which he then tried to grill me on why am I bringing this up NOW ? He didn't believe me. I didn't bring it up because I was calling to get missing screws. The teeth are important but don't affect the performance overall. The lid has locks on two sides to hold it down. BUT again, I paid full price for this vac sooooo..... Long story short I submitted photos of the broken teeth, told him I'd have to make an effort to replace and match/ find the right screws and/ or glue on the handle with construction cement (fiancé is going to do this) . I demanded a steeper discount and he FINALLY listened and gave it. I'm VERY pleased with this Craftsman shop vac. It performs like a pro, iand s easy on the pocket book. A+++++ rating B and half of a minus grading for customer service. ... show more

  • Great Performance, but One Caster Was Broken on Arrival
Size: 20 Gallon 6.5 Peak HP
I’m very pleased with the performance of the CRAFTSMAN 20 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac. It’s powerful, and the 6.5 Peak HP motor easily handles both wet and dry messes in my shop, garage, and even outdoor areas. The included filter, dust bag, hose, and attachments are all high-quality and make it versatile for different cleaning tasks. The vacuum is also relatively easy to maneuver thanks to the casters, but unfortunately, one of the casters arrived broken. It doesn’t affect the functionality too much, but it was a bit disappointing, especially considering the overall quality of the product. Despite that issue, it’s still a fantastic vacuum, and I’m confident it will last for years. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a heavy-duty shop vacuum, just be aware that the casters might need a quick check upon arrival. ... show more

  • Bulky, but awesome
Size: 16 Gallon 6.5 Peak HP
It's way too big for my purposes (16gal). Thats the worst thing I can say about it. I absolutely love this vac. Granted I have nothing else to compare it to because it's my first shop vac, but it's done everything I've needed it to. Suction is more than adequate for literally anything I throw at it. Bought it in 2020 (2025 now) for $109, and I've been able to count on it ever single time. This is an excellent shop vac for the adequately-sized shop. Now for my pedantic complaints: My garages have been small, so it's been a bit of overkill. Even though it's relatively light, it's impossible to stow away out of sight if you have limited space. The general design is bulky and the attachment storage over the casters sticks out far enough to keep you from fitting flush, anywhere. In hindsight, I should've bought a more compact, and mountable model. The attachments are large and clearly designed for heavier, real world shop and industrial applications. For example, you're not going to get into tight spaces with the crevice tool because the opening is about the size of your thumb's width. I bought the handle attachment (CMXZVBE38639), as well as the floor brush (CMXZVBE38633). I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a shop vac. ... show more
