Product 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.

Excellent vac with a fiasco product experience
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+++++ ratingB and half of a minus grading for customer service.
