New small wet/dry vac model
I bought this model because I like vacuums and I like the Craftsman ones especially. I bought this wet/dry vac because it is a new model compared to the old model round one (113.177135). This new model (113.175110) is oval shaped and comes with two attachments The old one came with 3. I have used this vacuum in my car and it has good suction like the old one did. But here are some things that are good and bad about this new model: Pros: New Design looks better Attachments seem a little bit more sturdier. Uses the inexpensive filters that the old one used and they last a long time. Has a little bit more power. The old one had 1.5 and this new one has 1.75. The gallon size is a little bit bigger also, the old one was 2 gallons and this new one is 2.5 gallons. Cons: It does not have the attachment storage that the old one had at the top of the handle. It did not come with a dusting brush, but I had one on hand. The hose seems a little bit cheeper compared to the old one. It is still as flexible has the other one though. Hose is still as short as the old one. Performance: The suction on this model is good on this model like the old one. The blowing is as strong as the other one also. Overall I do like this product and I still kept the old model because I like crafsman products. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

What were they thinking!

I like this shop vac, don't get me wrong.  It does a great job and the size makes it very convenient for small jobs.  However, my most common small job is keeping the cars vacuumed, and for that it could have been a lot better had they invested another 25 cents. What were they thinking when they omitted the brush attachment?  Obviously, other than the hose, the most useful attachment for any multi-purpose vacuum.  Thank goodness I saved the one off my old deceased vacuum, and if you're considering this unit, make sure you already have a brush attachment that fits a 1 1/4" hose.  If you do, you'll be very satisfied.  If you don't, well, I tried to warn you!

Great for small jobs/car detailing

This little vac is great for vacuming your car and to carry around to suck up dust on baseboards, chair railings, dust on tv's and other type surfaces. I highly recommend you purchase the micro accessory kit which is designed for this size vac. Good for getting into car vents and the smallest nooks and crannies that the crevice just can't reach. Pleasently surprised at the blowing power as well. I blowed away dirt and leaves from the driveway. Warning!!! Don't buy the 5 pc car accessories kit. It will not fit on this vac. It only fits on vacs with 2-1/2 inch hoses. I found out the hard way.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

2.5 gallon wet/dry vac

I needed a vacuum with a hose, so I decided to give this one a try. I was disappointed to discover that the wands are sold separately. I didn't want to crawl around on the floor, so I had to buy them. It's okay if you don't need a heavy-duty vacuum.

2-1/2 gallon shop vac

We wanted a small (1 gallon) shop vac but couldn't find one so we bought this one. While it does a great job, it tips over too easily and we wish it had a place to store the attachments.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
