The CRAFTSMAN 2.5 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac, with a 2.5 Peak HP motor, is great at home, in the garage, or jobsite detail cleaning. With its small size and carrying handle, this shop vacuum goes wherever you need to clean.

This 2.5-gallon wet dry vac can also be used as a blower, making it a great two-in-one tool. If you're looking for a portable solution for small messes, requiring little storage space, this vacuum is the answer.

  • Worked well in a pinch
Style: 2.5 Gallon 2.5 Peak HP
Needed to drain our 3 large pots in our water fountain in our garden before this upcoming hard freeze. Ordered this and got it overnight. I knew l would have many gallons of water and thought about a bigger one but knew I would not use it much afterwards. So had to empty this multiple times but in 20 minutes, able to get it done. The suction power was good. The hose was long enough for the 2 smaller pots but the tall pot was a bit too short to quickly pull it in and dumpnthe the bucket quickly. If you let the bucket over fill, you have to power it off and then back on. Worked well and was a good,. quick solution. ... show more

  • Sucks big time!
Style: 2.5 Gallon 2.5 Peak HP
This little thing is a beast! 10’ cord means you don’t need an ext cord all the time to use it. Easy to store and easy to transport/maneuver.. Very handy for the smaller jobs and for when you don’t want to roll around the big shop vac. Nice flexibility in the hose. The filter for dry is held on by rubber band. Stays secure. So if you lose the rubber band or it breaks, no specific nut or fitting needed to secure it. Just get another cheap rubber band. Two attachments clip into holders on the body but they have a tendency to pop out if bumped too hard as they’re also positioned at the cord wrap. No big deal.. Wet or dry. Gets the job done in a powerful, compact package. Worth it. ... show more

  • Does a great job

  • Nice and compact
Style: 2.5 Gallon 2.5 Peak HP
I love how easy this is to move around and how little space it takes up. It will work well with our tiny trailer. My first use was to clean out my messy minivan from moving and taking items to the dump. Now, since this shop vac is small it does clog easier, so no picking up items you would normally associate with a larger shop vac. It picked up small pebbles, dirt, and leaves just fine but struggled with twigs, larger pebbles, wood chips, and anything metal. Even though it clogged it only took a few seconds to fix and I was back to work. I am impressed at how much suction it has, and was able to get dirt out that was ground in the carpet fiber with no issue. I do recommend purchasing the extension wand and car attachments, they are nice to have and make cleaning easier. The wand especially gives you a longer reach. ... show more

  • Nice compact shop vac
Style: 2.5 Gallon 2.5 Peak HP
I nice compact shop vac. I've never owned one and I just needed something stronger than a handheld vacuum to use in cleaning the basement and other tasks. Very satisfactory performance. You'll need to buy replacement bags for this unit.

  • Light enough to carry but great cleaning!

Strong suction and not too loud so we didn't have to wear earplugs.

  • Good value & works great
Style: 2.5 Gallon 2.5 Peak HP
Bought the inexpensive, small Craftsman vac & it works great. Quality of plastic seems to be not dense or solid so I was concerned at first. However, I have used it many times & it has held up well. It has more than enough suction power for picking up things as long as debris aren’t too big for the hose. Vacuum itself doesn’t weigh much — light enough to carry & lift while using without getting tired. One caveat, haven’t had the opportunity to use it as a wet vac (lucky). ... show more
