Overview
Vacuuming car seats, garage spills and workshop dust is the job for this small Craftsman wet dry vac, with a cartridge filter, a blowing port and an onboard caddy that holds the attachments.
Car detailers and homeowners get wet and dry pickup in a light unit with a useful set of nozzles and wands. The drum is small, and Craftsman notes the gallon figure is drum volume, not real collection capacity.
Who it's for
Auto detailing, garage cleanups and small renovation messes suit the size and attachments. Big jobsite cleanups need a larger drum.
Pros and cons
- Handles wet and dry messes
- Light enough to carry
- Onboard accessory caddy
- Car nozzle for upholstery
- Small drum for big jobs
- Bags and spare filters sold separately
Performance notes
Pickup relies on the motor drawing through a narrow, long hose, and Craftsman notes actual capacity depends on debris type and filter condition, so a clean cartridge matters.
