CRAFTSMAN 60.6 L Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum — 6.5 Peak HP, Dual-Flex Hose & Oversized Drain

Powerful 16-gallon CRAFTSMAN wet/dry shop vacuum with a 6.5 peak HP motor designed for fast removal of heavy debris, large liquid drains, and versatile jobsite cleanup.

Built for workshops, construction sites, and homeowners facing big messes, the CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17595 combines high airflow, a large-capacity tank, and job-ready accessories to clear dust, wood chips, drywall dust, and liquids quickly. Its Dual-Flex hose resists kinks while an integrated blower port and oversized drain make transitions between vacuuming, blowing, and emptying straightforward. On-board storage for the hose, power cord and accessories keeps the unit compact when not in use.

How does this vacuum handle heavy debris and liquids?

The 6.5 peak horsepower motor delivers strong suction and airflow to lift heavy particulate and pull liquids into the tank quickly. The oversized drain simplifies emptying, and included wet and utility nozzles let you switch to liquid pickup without swapping tools mid-job.

• 6.5 peak HP motor for sustained suction on large debris
• 16-gallon tank for extended collection on big projects
• Oversized drain speeds liquid removal and cleanup
• Wet nozzle included for direct liquid pickup

What accessories come with the CMXEVBE17595 and how do they help?

This shop vac ships with a POS-I-LOCK Dual-Flex 2-1/2" x 7 ft. hose, two extension wands and three purpose nozzles so you can address car interiors, floors, and wet areas immediately. The Qwik Lock filter fastening system makes filter changes faster, and a dust collection bag is included for dry cleanup and easier disposal.

• Car, utility and wet nozzles cover multiple cleaning tasks
• Dual-Flex hose reduces kinks at each end for smooth reach
• Extension wands increase reach for floors and ceilings
• Qwik Lock filter fastening system speeds maintenance

Can this unit be used as a blower for outdoor cleanup?

Yes — the rear blowing port redirects the motor's exhaust into the hose for a focused stream of air. That makes the vacuum a two-in-one tool for clearing leaves, grass clippings, and sawdust from benches, decks, and work areas without an extra tool.

• Rear blowing port converts suction to high-speed exhaust
• Use hose and wands to direct airflow for spot blowing
• Eliminates need for a separate handheld blower for many tasks

How does storage and maintenance fit into a busy shop workflow?

The CMXEVBE17595 is engineered for tidy storage and quick upkeep. Built-in organizers keep the hose, accessories and power cord stowed on the unit, and compatible CRAFTSMAN filters and dust bags are easy to find for replacements that maintain peak performance.

• On-board hose, accessory and power cord organizers reduce clutter
• Compatible genuine CRAFTSMAN filters and bags for reliable performance
• Qwik Lock system reduces downtime during filter swaps
