Craftsman  C3 19.2 volt Hand Vac

I bought this because my wife wanted a new hand vacuum for the kitchen. Of course I looke at this as an opportunity to buy a two pack of batteries and charger as well as it doesn't come with it. Frankly, what do you want for 30 bucks. With a new battery it is really well designed compared to our old one it replaced. People who complain about it running down fast have bad batteries that need to be replaced. The full charge lasted at least 20 uses before I could notice any difference in power. What I really like is that when you remove the front nozzle there is a filter you need to pull out before you dump it. While on the surface this might look like you are doing extra work it really helps with not getting dirt all over yourself, as it is a guard against it. I plan on buying an actual one for my workshop.

Priced many cordless hand vacs online and this one was by far the cheapest. Since I have other craftsman cordless tools, didn't need to purchase an additional battery. Surprisingly has good suction power, especially when using the crevice attachment.

Works exactly as it should. The battery lofe seems good and the sucktion is fine for simple jobs. Does not handle liquids. Simple flap keeps the dust in the container. The filter is simple but works.

This Vac is weak!! The filter clogs too fast which restricts suction from the motor. Even after painstakingly cleaning out the filter this vac is only good for picking up very lightweight objects like sawdust, if that!

I had the 12 volt dry hand vac and the darn thing never lasted long enough to finish a job. The 19.2 is a major set up from the 12 volt. Although one thing neither had was a longer edging tool the one the comes with the unit is to short.

I bought this Hand Vac because it uses the same battery as my C3 19.2 Volt drill. This facilitates clean-up after drilling a few holes in the wall. Just switch the battery from your drill to the Hand Vac, do your clean-up, and then charge the battery for the next project. The performance of the Hand Vac is quite good but one needs to clean the filter fairly frequently as it collects a lot of particles and debree after just a few uses. The filter has never clogged on me but then I clean it about every other use or so. Overall I would recommend this Hand Vac to anyone who already has the C3 line-up of tools because it very handy for that reason alone and for the intended purpose it performs very well.

Nice that this vacuum uses your 9.2 vold batteries.

Avery good product

Great Add On for the 19.2 system. Works great to clean up those little messes.

Has good power,perfect for the bathroom to pick up litter that gets tracked. I tryed other brands and paid more for others that did not work well at all. This one you do have to buy the battery seperate but we had some already that we got when we bought cordless tools. They do not tell you that at the checkout. I already knew though by reading the box. But if I did not read it or know I would have been disappointed in the sales person. I have had this for a few weeks now and love it.
