Koblenz WD-2L
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Koblenz WD-2L is a compact 2-gallon wet/dry vacuum with 3-in-1 functionality and strong 60 CFM suction. Its short power cord and modest tank size limit it for larger clean-ups. Best suited for quick spot-cleaning in homes, garages, cars and small workshops.
The Craftsman CMXEVBE17595 is a corded 16-gallon wet/dry shop vacuum with a powerful 6.5 peak HP motor and built-in blower for heavy-duty cleaning. Its large size and weight make it less portable and noisier than smaller units. Ideal for workshops, garages, and outdoor debris removal.

“best compact shop vac”
Professional sources such as Lowe's and a YouTube unboxing reviewer praise the WD-2L for its strong suction, lightweight portability, and versatility in handling wet, dry, and blower tasks, positioning it as an ideal compact shop vac for spot-cleaning in residential and automotive settings.
Everyday users highlight the vacuum's lightweight portability, effective suction on both dry debris and liquids, and the convenience of integrated accessory storage and blower capability. Recurring complaints focus on the 10-foot power cord being too short for full-car reach and the 2.5-gallon tank filling quickly during bigger clean-ups.
