This Craftsman 16-gallon vac is a powerhouse! The suction is super strong—it picks up everything from dust to big messes with no problem. I use it in my garage and for cleaning my car, and it works great for both. The tank holds a lot, it’s easy to move around, and the attachments are really useful. It’s also not too loud for how powerful it is. Definitely worth the money—solid quality and does exactly what it’s supposed to do!

This is a nice shop vac with excellent suction and great functionality. The value for this was also excellent as it sold for well under my expectation for a shop vac of this size and hose diameter. While the connections of the hoses and individual tools is a little clunky feeling at first, everything does connect with a positive lock and you lose no suction. I also like that the base of this vac fits nicely on top of my trash can so it doesn't take up additional floor space, but that's a very niche requirement.

This thing puts my Animal Ball 3 Dyson to shame. It's so straight up utilitarian as well. It'll eat just about anything with tons of power. I slid this along the edge of the wall and it sucked up tons of dust from under the wall where some floor molding used to be to where I was seeing just clear clean wood underneath, it's crazy. You can also get some relatively inexpensive fine dust filters or liquid filter and use it to clean up just about any mess with relative ease. Not to mention the ability to attach it to power tools so it'll suck up all the dust and debris as you work on DIY home projects. It's just something most people should own, IMO. Can't believe I spent such a good amount of my life not knowing how useful these things are.

Great vacuum! The suction power is amazing! The weight isn’t too heavy but it is a big can to store in the home. I have 3 dogs that shed a lot and it just sucks up the dog hair wonderfully on all floor types. Also use it on my furniture.

Works fantastic, BUT, still can’t get the wheels to stay on. I just carry it wherever need be.

This is the greatest shop-vac I have ever used, the cord length is from here to heaven, it weighs less than a bundle of grapes, the suction could uproot a tree, and best part is that it is very easy to use with the chunky buttons. Also comes with everything you need to use it the only thing missing is a wet foam filter and maybe a smaller extension but overall a phenomenal vacuum.

Seems to be a workhorse of a vacuum. Great suction, tolerable noise level and easy to move around

Still 'Made' By USA Emerson (despite manufactured in MX), one of the original suppliers of shop vacs to Sears / Craftsman. You can tell by the CMXE model numbers. Bought this to replace my 45 year old 20 gallon Craftsman shop vac that had given great service but whose sucking capacity was waning. New design holds the tools and hose. This 16 gal is the same performance as the 20, but lower priced and meets my 'downsizing.' Found it a little odd that the 20 gal includes the 'muffler' that primarily diffuses the outbound air, but for the 16, I had to buy it (as 3rd party version). So far stable to roll around, but I wish the casters were rubber and a little larger diameter versus small plastic.
