CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17250 2.5 Gallon 2.5 Peak HP Wet Dry Shop Vacuum

Best for

Best for spot cleaning cars, workshops, and small wet spills, especially if storage space is tight; skip if you need to cover larger areas without an extension cord or want a vac for daily heavy-duty use.

What buyers say

Most owners agree this compact vac punches above its weight with strong suction and easy portability, making it a go-to for quick car and garage cleanups. The trade-off is a short cord and attachments that don't lock on, so you'll likely need an extension cord and a light touch.

Loved by buyers

  • •Light enough to carry from garage to car without a second thought.
  • •Suction that handles small debris, water, and even coins without bogging down.
  • •Compact body and cord wrap mean it tucks away in a closet or on a shelf, not hogging floor space.

Buyer concerns

  • •The 10-foot cord is frustratingly short for cleaning an entire vehicle; an extension cord is almost a must.
  • •Attachments can pop off the hose if tugged, which interrupts the flow of cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it handle wet and dry messes equally well?+
Yes, owners report it picks up water smoothly and still handles dry debris like dust and coins.
How long is the power cord?+
It's 10 feet long, which many find too short for cleaning a car without an extension cord.
Do the attachments stay on securely?+
They can slip off when you pull hard, so go slow and don't force the hose.
How often will I need to empty the bin?+
The 2.5-gallon bin fills quickly with heavy debris; it's best for short tasks where you won't mind a quick dump.
