How strong is the suction compared with other hand vacuums?

Craftsman rates it at 45 CFM, which is above most household hand vacuums and close to other 20V tool-brand hand vacs. It handles crumbs, pet hair and dry debris well; it is not meant for wet spills.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

Yes. The kit includes a V20 20V battery and charger, so it is ready to use. Spare batteries from other Craftsman V20 tools also fit.

How long does it run on a charge?

Run time depends on the battery and the power setting. Expect short bursts of strong suction rather than long continuous cleaning; a larger-capacity V20 battery gives more time.

Can it pick up wet messes?

No. It is a dry hand vacuum. Liquids can damage the motor and filter.

Is it a good choice if I already own Craftsman V20 tools?

Yes. Sharing the same 20V batteries and charger is its biggest advantage over standalone hand vacs from other brands.

How often do I need to empty it?

The dirt cup is small, so expect to empty it after most cleanups, especially with pet hair or fine dust.
