DeWalt - 16 Gallon Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Vacuum (DXV16S)

I use like 6 vacuums... I wish I was joking. Ecovacs X1 Omni - I swear by this thing. It runs twice a day automatically. Electrolux Ultimate 800 - It has great reach with the attachments. Gets into the corners 12 feet in the air. DeWalt Shop Vac - This is for the vehicle and most other places too dirty for a good vacuum. Dyson handheld - old Dyson with 30 seconds of battery life, I keep it around to clean out weird things like floor registers and sliding door tracks. Dyson corded - I honestly don't know why I haven't thrown this out. It still technically works. Barely. KitchenAid Handheld - I won this in a contest. It's a terrible vacuum, good for keyboards and Cheerios. Bissell Crosswave - My second favorite vacuum! Even though it's a mop it's great for quickly cleaning big messes or large areas.

I just bought a $100 Dewalt shop vac and it is surprisingly quiet. No HEPA filter but there is plenty of other dust in my shop to kill me.

I have a Dyson Animal (v6 I think) that has lasted me almost 10 years, although I had to replace the battery once. I mounted the charger in a small closet where I keep my cleaning stuff and it takes up next to no space, which I appreciate and I would have loved when I had a studio apartment. Mine is cordless/bagless and I wish I could cover larger spaces before having to empty the canister…but 3 cats create a lot of tumbleweeds. I like it, but for full disclosure I turn to my DeWalt Shop Vac for larger/heavy duty vacuuming.

DeWalt and RIDGID make better shop vacs out of the bunch. Makita is more professional.

I was really thinking about this shop vac, but in the end I bought a plugin DeWalt for a lot cheaper since I have the Ego Powerstation if I don’t have an outlet near by.

Shop vac 👌 I got a $60 DeWalt one at Costco, it’s been going strong for 5 years now. Most professional cleaners I know use shop vacs, Henry (UK made shop vac) or Millie. Or a vintage Filter Queen. I have that on the second floor, I got it for $20 and it’s from the 70s. I tried a newer one and it does not work as well.

i have their corded little wet/dry. only dewalt thing i own and love it.
