cheap bearings

Would Not Recommend

I've owned mine for about 1-1/2 years, and used for probably less than 2 hours total. It already sounds like it will fly apart due to bearing failure.

Switch failed

Would Not Recommend

Had this a few years and the on/off switch just stopped working. I take good care of my equipment and this thing stayed mounted to the wall above my work bench. It wasn’t getting tossed around.

switch

Would Not Recommend

I have two of these shop vacs and the switches on both have failed. Craftsman doesn't have a replacement switch. However, with some modification you can install a rocker switch such as the Hillman on/off switch. Once the motors on these vacs fail, I will purchase a different brand. Craftsman is aware of this switch failing but continue to use the SAME switch.

Lasted less than 3 years

Would Not Recommend

Used to work great and used for household use only. I maybe used it once every 2-3 months and not for any length at a time. The switch to turn it on stopped working. Can't use it any longer. Had it less than three years.
