Review on πŸ”΄ CRAFTSMAN CMCVH001B Red Vacuum: Powerful Cleaning Performance and Stylish Design by Dave Brummet

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor performance, the filter is unavailable and cannot be replaced.

I stupidly bought this because I have another Craftsman V20 series tool. This portable vacuum cleaner is very disappointing. It sucks very poorly and, in my honest opinion, is only suitable for vacuuming up sawdust. Very bad for carpets or fabrics, you need to clean to pick up pretty much everything from those surfaces. The paper air filter is problematic, it's small, so you have to clean it every time you use it, otherwise the performance drops even more. This includes brushing, washing, or a combination of both, meaning it has a relatively short lifespan even if you're just picking up sawdust. Once this filter wears out, the vacuum cleaner is useless (see below) as it is the only thing that prevents what you collect from going into the engine. The situation gets even worse: the air filter is not available for purchase. To be honest, this V20 handheld vacuum isn't even closed. e on the quality of a hedge trimmer that performs excellently. One star because I can't leave zero.

Pros
  • High test scores for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as the others
