- Is this vacuum good for drywall dust?
- Yes. The HEPA filter traps fine dust, which is the main reason to pick it over a basic shop vac. Empty and clean the filter regularly during heavy drywall work.
- Can it pick up water?
- Yes. It is a wet/dry vacuum, so it takes spills and standing water as well as dry debris. Remove the filter for wet pickup and drain the tank afterward.
- How loud is it?
- Craftsman rates it at 82 dB, which is loud enough to warrant hearing protection during long sessions. It is not a quiet vacuum.
- How far can it reach?
- The hose is 7 feet and the cord is 10 feet, so plan on an extension cord for large rooms. Reach is shorter than some competing shop vacs.
- Does it come with accessories?
- It has built-in on-board storage for the hose and attachments. Check the box contents for the specific nozzles and filters included, since bundles vary.
- Is it too big for a small garage?
- The 9-gallon body takes up floor space and is heavy to move. For tight spaces a smaller wet/dry vac is easier to handle.
