CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17607 16 Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac with Detachable Leaf Blower, Heavy-Duty Shop Vacuum with Attachments

br>* Suction strength. OMG, while you're standing on your shoes, this thing will take them off and away. br>* Remove the top (not you, Bob) and use it as a blower; this is a great feature that I've used several times in my shop to clean it out. br>* The ability to maneuver. While it is not the most convenient item to transport due to its size, it is actually not that bad in comparison. br>* Tons of attachments. You'll have far more than you'll ever require. CONS: br>br> br>* This thing attracts dust, particularly saw dust, which adheres to its body like glitter to your brow. As a result, I've done my homework. Static is the root of the problem. A minute after taking it out of the box, the vacuum cleaner is completely covered in dust and appears filthy and worn. br>* The filtering procedure hasn't changed in 20 years. The same filter that, after a while, becomes completely caked with dust and obstructs airflow, requiring you to cover yourself in dust while cleaning it. or using a different vacuum to vacuum the filter. You're vacuuming and you're making a fool of yourself. br>Flipping the enormous tub over and emptying it into a trashcan. Why isn't there a removable receptacle in the style of a "drawer" that you can pull out and carry to the trashcan with you? Instead, you'll have to remove the top, which will cause all of the attachments to fall off, disconnect the hose, and puck up the whole tub. a waste of time br>* There is a lot of noise. Perhaps it was a little too loud. DESIRES: br>br> br>* Why didn't you include a universal adapter despite including more attachments than we'll ever need? The adapter would be extremely useful; these items are used on Dewalt, Skilsaw, Porter, small and large machines, and each has a different size dust port. br>* Please don't expect us to keep all of the attachments on the tub's rim. The attachments fall off every time we empty the thing. Why not provide us with a storage bag or case for our attachments? We can go to it whenever we need to change, and the vacuum itself is free of any items that have accumulated on it. br>* Casters/wheels from the modern era. The casters are made of hard plastic and date from the 1970s. Put something on it that looks like rollerblade wheels to keep up with the times. Rubber that is softer is quieter and has a harder time getting around an electric cord or other obstruction. The included casters appear to get stuck on everything. They are stuck even at the thought of rolling. Unless you leave your vacuum unattended for 10 seconds on your driveway, in which case it will roll a quarter mile into Karen from the neighborhood's yard. br>br>OVERALL, this machine does an excellent job of picking up dirt, sawdust, and other debris. It makes some serious engineering attempts and performs admirably; however, a little more attention to ease of use would greatly improve it.

This is for the detachable blower with a 16 gallon capacity: br>br>When I first saw 190cfm, I assumed this thing would be sucking up leaves with minimal effort. It suffocates them, but I have to place the hose directly on top of everything you want. Maybe I had unreasonable expectationsbr>br>I bought it primarily to blow leaves (the detachable leaf blower is fantastic) and then suck them up, along with various rocks, mud, and dirt in my garden. br>br>In general, it does the job, but not in the suck every speck of dirt way I had hoped for. It's certainly more powerful than my Dyson, but not to the level of an industrial 6. I was anticipating something along the lines of a 5 horsepower motor. br>br>In addition, I must say that the build quality is very clearly made in China - Everything is made of plastic and does not lock into place as well as high-end products made of metal components. br>br>So, in short, it gets the job done, and the leaf blower goes above and beyond - really knows how to take care of the yard. br>br>For $130, it's not a bad deal, but I'd probably go with a different brand next time based solely on build quality.

Because of its size, moving it around takes some patience. This is my all-around garage sweeper, which I also use as a blower on occasion. I've used it to suction water from a pool cover and it worked perfectly. The clean-up of auto-repair debris is excellent. So far, the experience has been positive. The only reason it isn't perfect is that it, like the attachments, is a big, bulky beast. Moving it around is a challenge for my wife. However, I was well aware of this prior to entering the room. I purchased an adapter kit that allows me to connect my smaller shop-related items. Attach vac hoses and other attachments to this and use it to work on the interior of cars. The suction is extremely strong. Four and a half stars for fit and finish.

Keep in mind that I haven't used it to pick up water, but it has a lot of power and is lightweight. I am a 66-year-old woman whose strength has deteriorated as I have gotten older. I was really looking forward to using the detachable blower, and I was not disappointed! I quickly blew out all of the debris from the garage and spruced it up, then blew all of the leaves away from the house. Carrying it is still pleasant. The cord was just long enough for the spring cleaning I needed to get done. If I need to go further, I have an outdoor extension cord. It isn't a deal breaker in either case. It appeals to me.

This shipment includes a caster assembly that is too large to fit into the caster foot socket. 3 e-mails later I've sent three emails to Craftsman Customer Service and made three phone calls over the course of three days and have yet to receive a response, with the exception of a phone call today, the third day, which was cut-off. after two minutes, the computer shuts down with no solution to a very simple problem. I'm not sure if the device works at this point.

Please accept my sincere regrets. My rating has been downgraded to a one-star rating. When I tried to use it on the job for the second time, it didn't pick up much. I cleaned the filter, but it's still doing the same thing. I brought it home and cleaned the filter once more. I strewn corn meal across my carpet and attempted to sweep it up. To vacuum it up, I had to go over it six times. This should have a peak horsepower of 6. 0. It's about 2 peak horsepower now. And he's supposed to be a master craftsman. You could've fooled me if you wanted to.

I have a 3 inch thick fine strand shag carpet. These rugs will not move with a regular vacuum, and the bristles will ruin the fibers. I knew I needed a powerful vacuum, so I went out and bought one. I didn't want one this big, but I did want the most powerful suction I could find. My daughter-in-law has three huskies that she likes to bring over, so there's a lot of white fuzz that sticks to everything. br>It was a total success! br>I followed another reviewer's advice and turned off the spongy noise filter to get the most suction power, and this thing sucked my rug right off the floor! br>So I HAD to try it to get the hair off the linen chairs, and it almost dragged them a few inches across the floor! Even though they aren't particularly heavy, they are still quite substantial! br>The only problem I had was getting the wheels to engage. I still have one that hasn't popped, but the next time I have a big strong man around, I'm going to pop it. That is something I will look into. It's fantastic! br> Love it! Love it!.
