🔧 CRAFTSMAN Portable Shop Vacuum CMXEVBE17250 - 2.5 Gallon, 1.75 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac with Attachments Review

What I like best about this Mini is its light weight. I am 85 years old and can pick it up without any problems. What I don't like the most is that it doesn't have an extension. With my aching back and knees it is very difficult to suck up water. I bought this unit because I suffered water damage due to improper air conditioning installation. (Do you have a temporary solution for this?) The device has served me well.

I had a large shop vacuum that lasted almost 10 years and replaced it with this smaller one. I love how small it actually is and it's very easy to carry with one hand. The suction power is great for picking up everything including fine pet hair and dust. It would be nice if it had wheels on the bottom, but I understand that since it's so small it will probably be difficult to make and not that difficult to carry around.

I had the previous generation of this model and to be honest the original model was much better than the new one. It's still a "good" model, but not as powerful as its predecessor. The reason I bought this model was because I thought it would be better than the old model. Unfortunately it isn't. The original was smaller and easier to store. This one is much larger and NOT as easy to store. The only thing that speaks for it is the low weight. The original model was heavier. I'll stay, but next…

I wanted it to be as small as possible so I could use it in my theater as a popcorn vacuum that's always in the room. Excellent for this purpose. It seems to have more than enough suction power to deal with any small mess in a car, shed, shop, when traveling etc. The diameter of the hose itself limits what it can suck up, which is relatively small. I also liked this model more than some of the others in this size range as it doesn't require special pockets like the others. This is the…

Not satisfied at all. I will come back for a full refund. "Plus: low weight and good suction power. The cons: The hose is too stiff (harder plastic) and the worst issue is that it's completely useless for me. The hose is not attached to the bucket. 1 slight pull on the hose and it falls out immediately. There are small slots on the other end of this hose and small grooves where you connect it (similar to the male and female parts) but they are completely useless. The hose has to be constantly…

I received and tested it a few days ago but I can't say it has stood the test of time. I'm so happy I finally got it! I resisted it because we have a 5 gallon Pro version and I just had a hard time justifying getting another vacuum. But every time I've had to lug a big one out of the garage and have to maneuver it (including protruding wheels and a big stiff hose) into and through smaller interior spaces like the bathroom, I've been so disappointed. And you can imagine that when I need to…
