| williamproulx's Full Review: Craftsman 12 gal. Wet/Dry Vac. 17760 |
my father recently purchased this craftsman vacuum. today i finally got the chance to test it out. first i took it into the garage to vacuum the floor this floor was extremely dirty.the dirt.pine needles leaves nails and other things on the floor would have either destroyed most other vacuums or clogged them up its a good thing this vacuum has a very strong motor and a very large hose this enabled me to me to get every thing up off of the floor. i was surprised i came upon a large plastic bag i was just about to pick it up and the vacuum sucked it right up.
any vacuum i have used before this one if i had tried to vacuum up a plastic back i would have ended up spending a lot of time taking apart the hose and trying to get it unclogged. this vacuum does not use a bag so you don't have to worry about things like nails puncturing the bag and there is no more dealing with removing a dusty nasty bag and no more trips to the store to hunt for replacement bags this vacuum has a filter in the canister it is washable and if you need a new one all you have to do is go to the store and find the one in the display that has the piticuler color on it each vacuum model has a different color so it is very easy to find.
after i finished in the garage i took this vacuum out to the driveway and i put the hose in the blower hole on the vacuum and i used it to blow the dirt and leaves off of the driveway. this one powerful blower. i then decided to see how it would do if i tried blowing the leaves that were on the grass i was very surprised this little vacuum was more powerful than the gas leaf blower that was sitting in the garage i then decided to go and get an extension cord and i proceeded to blow the leaves in the yard into big piles. this vacuum has very big wheels for a vacuum this allowed me to wheel it across the grass occasionally it did tip over.the blower was powerful enough to move the piles of heavy wet leaves that have been sitting there since the fall. anyone who has the unfortunate task of raking leaves know how heavy and tough it is to move those icky wet leaves this vacuum is a great tool for that chore while using it the only weight you have to hole it the hose which is lighter than most rakes and much lighter than those bulky noisy,polluting,high maintenance gas blowers. this is a great vacuum that everyone should have in there home its great for, vacuuming cars it even gets those tiny little pebbles out of the nooks and crannies of the car. i highly recommend this to anyone who has to vacuum anything .put away those wimpy vacuums and hard to use brooms and take a look at this great vacuum from craftsman. it will change the way you think about vacuuming
