455 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17925 runs a 1,020-watt motor drawing 8.5 amps from a standard 120-volt outlet. That output positions it between the CMXEVBE17590's 996 watts and the CMXEVBE17595's 1,440 watts, filling a deliberate step in the CRAFTSMAN corded lineup. The listing does not publish a weight or dimensional spec, which limits pre-purchase logistics planning.
At $119.99 it is priced $5 above the CMXEVBE17590 and $5 above the CMXEVBE17595 by rounding, making all three CRAFTSMAN corded options cluster tightly in price. The differentiation is motor output: 996, 1,020, and 1,440 watts respectively. The 17925 sits in the middle tier with the narrowest review sample of the three at 455 reviews.
For buyers who find the 1,440-watt CMXEVBE17595 too heavy or overkill for their tasks, but want more than 996 watts, the CMXEVBE17925 fills that gap. The 4.6-star rating from 455 buyers is consistent with the CRAFTSMAN brand expectation, and 100 monthly purchases suggests a steady but specialized audience.
Pros
- 1,020-watt motor crosses the 1,000-watt threshold for buyers who set that as a benchmark
- 8.5-amp draw stays comfortably within standard 15-amp circuit limits
- 4.6-star rating from 455 reviews provides reliable owner-satisfaction confirmation
- Corded design ensures consistent power delivery without battery management
Cons
- 455 reviews is the smallest sample among corded options in this batch
- 100 monthly purchases is lower than the CMXEVBE17590 at 800 and the CMXEVBE17595 at 3,000
- No weight or dimensional specs published, limiting pre-purchase storage planning
