CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17595 16-Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry Vac
One whitelisted source with a verifiable review body survived: Pro Tool Reviews names this Craftsman its 'Best for Dust Collection' pick, praising its class-leading 190 CFM airflow, high 16-gallon capacity, and good value, while flagging that it is hard to transport, heavy when full, and has a large storage footprint. This is a buying-guide selection rather than a standalone lab test, and the 190 CFM figure is a listed manufacturer spec that the outlet did not independently measure, so no verified measured numbers exist for this exact model. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: High airflow (190 CFM) makes it excel at dust collection; High 16-gallon capacity; Good value for the price.
Flagged: Not as easy to transport / heavy when full; Large storage footprint.
