Powerful, versatile cleanup for shop, garage, and jobsite

The CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17596 combines a robust 6.5 peak horsepower motor with a 20-gallon drum to handle large messes in demanding spaces.

Smart design that keeps your workspace tidy

Organization is part of the package. Built-in hose storage and cord organizers help minimize clutter, so accessories stay where you need them. The 2-1/2 inch diameter Dual-Flex hose resists kinking and crushing, allowing smoother movement around corners, under benches, and along tight spans.

Flexible power for wet and dry tasks

A rear blower port adds outdoor versatility, letting you switch from interior cleanup to yard debris removal with a quick hose reconfiguration. An oversized drain makes liquid disposal straightforward, reducing downtime during longer cleanup sessions. This combination of features supports a wide range of tasks, from basement flooding cleanup to garage dust collection, without changing machines.
