Vacmaster 6 Gallon Wet Dry Shop Vacuum
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Vacmaster VBVB611PF 1101 combines a 6-gallon polypropylene tank with a 5-peak-HP motor and detachable 190 MPH blower, delivering strong suction and blowing power. Its heavier weight, noise, and limited hose diameter may affect comfort and debris handling. Suited for homeowners needing a versatile 2-in-1 vacuum/blower solution.
The Craftsman CMXEVBE17250 is a compact 2.5-gallon wet/dry shop vacuum with a 2.5 HP motor, offering lightweight portability and an integrated blower. Its modest suction, short hose and absence of a drain plug limit performance for larger or liquid-heavy jobs. Ideal for homeowners and vehicle owners needing a small, easy-to-store vacuum for quick clean-ups.
