CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17595 16-Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Shop Vac
Brand: CRAFTSMAN
Best for
Garage users who need a high-capacity shop vac for sawdust from power tools, construction debris and occasional wet spills, where the 16-gallon tank eliminates frequent emptying during extended use.
Skip if
Space is tight and portability matters. A 16-gallon shop vac is large and heavy when full. For tight garages or frequent moving between areas, the 5-gallon Shop-Vac or 9-gallon DEWALT is more portable.
The CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17595 uses a two-stage motor to maintain suction as the tank fills. At 16 gallons, the tank handles a full garage cleanup between empties. The 6.5 peak HP motor provides strong suction for picking up wet sawdust, drywall dust and liquid spills from concrete.
The cart-style design with rear wheels rolls across garage floors. A drain port on the tank allows pumping out large liquid volumes without lifting. The included blower port allows reversing airflow to blow debris from corners before vacuuming.
At $109, the CRAFTSMAN 16-gallon provides the highest capacity at the lowest price per gallon.
