Review on ๐Ÿงน CRAFTSMAN 16 Gallon 6.5 HP Wet/Dry Vacuum with Detachable Leaf Blower - Heavy-Duty Shop Vac with Attachments by Jeremy Bradford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost perfect best wet/dry vacuum

Like:* suction power. Oh god, this thing will take your shoes off and carry them away while you're standing in them. * Take off the top (not you, Bob) and use it as a blower, a great feature that I've actually used a few times while cleaning my shop. * Maneuverable. While it's not the easiest thing to wear given its size, it's actually not that bad considering its size. * Tons of attachments. More than you will ever need. CONS: * This thing attracts dust, sawdust and sticks to the body like glitter to the forehead. So I read. The reason for this is static. Vacuum cleaner immediately covered in dust A minute after unpacking it looks dirty and old.* The filtering process is still going on 20 years ago. The same filter that after a while becomes completely clogged with dust and impedes airflow. Therefore, when cleaning the filter, you need to cover yourself with dust or use another vacuum cleaner to vacuum the filter. You look stupid when you vacuum your vacuum cleaner. Turn the giant bathtub upside down to empty it into the trash can. Why isn't there a removable container in the form of a box that you can pull out and take with you in the bin? Instead, you need to remove the lid, and at the same time all its nozzles will fall off, disconnect the hose and raise the entire bath. Unnecessary.* Noise. It's really loud. Maybe too loud. WANT:* Added more attachments than we'll ever need but didn't include the universal adapter? An adapter would be very helpful, these things are used on Dewalt, Skilsaw, Porter, small car, large car and they all have different sized dust bags. * Do not ask us to support all jets installed on the tub rim. When we empty something, attachments go away. Why don't you give us a bag/case to assemble? We can refer to it every time we need to change clothes and there are no items lying on top of the vacuum cleaner itself. * Modern casters / wheels. These hard plastic rollers are from the 70's. Go with the times and put on something like roller skates. Soft rubber is quieter and gets over a power cord or any other obstacle with less effort. The included casters seem to get stuck everywhere. Just the thought of rolling gets them stuck. If you don't leave your vacuum unattended in your driveway for 10 seconds, it will roll from the yard a quarter mile into Karen territory. Overall this machine really picks up dirt, sawdust and whatever else you have. It's a serious attempt at great engineering and does its job very well, a little more focus on usability would have greatly improved it.

Pros
  • wet/dry vacuum
Cons
  • unreliable
