- Is this vacuum good for water cleanup?
- Yes. It is a wet/dry unit, so it can pick up spilled water as well as dry debris. Empty the tank before it reaches the fill line and remove the dry filter for wet pickup.
- How does it compare with larger shop vacuums?
- It has less tank capacity and a shorter hose than 12- to 16-gallon models, but it is lighter and easier to carry. For a flooded basement, a larger vac means fewer trips to empty.
- Does it come with a filter and hose?
- It ships with a cartridge filter and a 7-foot hose, plus on-board storage for accessories. Check the box contents for the nozzle and extension wands included.
- How loud is it?
- Craftsman rates it at 82 dB, which is loud enough to warrant ear protection during long sessions.
- Can it handle drywall dust?
- It can, but the cartridge filter clogs quickly on fine dust. Clean the filter often and consider a fine-dust bag for heavy sanding or drywall work.
- What is the cord length?
- The cord is 10 feet, so it reaches most garage outlets without an extension cord.
