DeWalt - STEALTHSONIC Wet Dry Shop Vac (DXV06P-QT)

If you aren’t buying the Dewalt silent model shop vacs you are just being silly.

The first one is good for cleaning up small jobs, or holding while cutting with a multitool but like others said don’t expect it to do the work of a normal sized unit. Dewalts Steathsonic vacuums are nice, I would recommend them to anyone, just absolutely head the warning and don’t run them without the filter

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 use the Dewalt wet/dry vac because spills happen in weird places in the van. The small version, there’s 2

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.

This. They are insanely quiet you almost forget they’re on. The sound of air sucking through the nozzle is louder than the vacuum itself

I got tired of listening to my Rigid, so when it died, I bought a Dewalt Stealth vacuum, and it is so much nicer not listening to the old one screaming.

Save your hearing and buy a Dewalt Stealth vacuum.

I have a 6 and a 16, and the 6 has plenty of power, plus the smaller hose is easier to maneuver

I bought a Dewalt Stealth vacuum, and I liked it so much that I went and got another smaller one. They have plenty of power, and they are really quiet.

Dewalt Stealth Sonic. So, so quiet.

For jobs that you don’t want to risk using your Miele on, I recommend a ShopVac. I got the Dewalt 6 gallon ShopVac from Lowes along with a HEPA filter (be sure to get the HEPA for the 4gallon model) and a bag. I love it. It’s great for wet messes and dry messes I don’t want to break out my Miele for and was on sale for a good deal.

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.
