Owners agree this Craftsman 20-gallon wet/dry vacuum delivers strong suction and excellent mobility thanks to its large wheels and cart design, making it effective for heavy-duty cleanup and water removal. The main trade-off is its bulky size and loud motor, which can be inconvenient for smaller spaces or noise-sensitive users.
