What we like about Craftsman CMXEVBE17590

  • Powerful suction performance that exceeds expectations for its size
  • Lightweight build making it easy to maneuver and transport
  • Oversized built-in drain allows for quick and effortless liquid disposal
  • Qwik Lock filter system makes changing filters fast and simple
  • Versatile rear exhaust port functional as a blower for outdoor debris
  • Convenient on-board storage space for the hose, power cord, and attachments
  • Secure snap-in wheels that stay firmly attached during movement

What we don't like about Craftsman CMXEVBE17590

  • Operates with a noticeably loud or noisy motor sound
  • The 7-foot included hose is considered too short for some tasks
  • Occasional quality control issues such as missing assembly screws for the handle in the box
  • Only includes one dust collection bag, requiring users to purchase replacements quickly

Verdict

The Craftsman CMXEVBE17590 is a corded electric canister wet-dry shop vacuum featuring a 9-gallon polypropylene tank and a 4.25 peak HP motor operating at 8.3 amps and 120 volts to deliver a 71 CFM air volume. Key characteristics include an integrated rear blower port for outdoor debris clearing, an oversized built-in drain for rapid liquid disposal, a Qwik Lock filter fastening system for easy cartridge swaps, and robust on-board storage organizers for its 10-foot power cord, 7-foot POS-I-LOCK hose (1-7/8 inch diameter), and various nozzles. Users praise its strong, effective suction power for medium-duty home, garage, or vehicle cleaning, alongside its maneuverable rolling casters and lightweight 15.5-pound frame. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively high operational noise level of 82 decibels and the persistent stiffness of the included plastic hoses and attachments, which can make tight navigation cumbersome.
