Makita - VC4210L

I got tired of the home depot vacs falling apart after heavy use. I settled on the makita vac and bought the wand separately. Great vac, does an awesome job and I don't have to waste time shaking out the filter. I liked it enough that I picked up a second one. https://www.makita.ca/index2new.php?event=tool&id=3484&catid=3

Really depends on your needs. If you don't need portability (and have the $), forget shop vacs and get an Oneida Dust Cobra. [https://www.oneida-air.com/dust-collectors/personal-shops/dust-cobra](https://www.oneida-air.com/dust-collectors/personal-shops/dust-cobra) If you need some portability, the best one I have ever seen is this one. Durable, wet/dry and HEPA capable [https://www.globalindustrial.ca/p/global-industrial-153-hepa-wet-dry-vacuum-stainless-steel-21-gallon](https://www.globalindustrial.ca/p/global-industrial-153-hepa-wet-dry-vacuum-stainless-steel-21-gallon) If you need local dust collection and general vacuum capabilty, get the Makita VC4210L. I have 2 of these and I love them. Also, get a cyclone... I use the Onieda "Dust Deputy". Makes an enormous difference.

Makita all the way. Dyson are good if you can afford them, you are still paying for the brand. Depends on what you are trying to clean and type of usage but you can't go wrong with heavy-duty (almost industrial) ones. They are unbreakable and for some reason less expensive than the normal ones. They tend to look ugly though.
