M18 FUEL™ Compact Vacuum (0940-20)

I picked one just like this out of a trash pile and it has outlasted the new shark one I purchased. It’s bulkier and louder, but a Milwaukee mini shopvac may be the way to go.

I got the m18 for my birthday a few years ago. No complaints, didn't blow my socks off or anything but it remained functional and is a completely competent vacuum.

I love my Milwaukee handheld

Tbh most are about the same minus storage techniques and brand name. Like I prefer milwaukee’s little square vacs cuz they pack away nicely. But I’ve got a smaller ryobi and some harbor freight stuff that all works just as well. Id just go with whatever you have the batteries for and fits for what u plan to do usually

I prefer the Dewalt, Milwaukee & Ryobi portable vacuums... Battery dies and getting a replacement is easy and they seem to have enough suction for stick vacuum duties. (Batteries hold resale as well!)

I have a Milwaukee M18 Fuel shop vac, I use it all the time from cleaning up after projects, giving the truck a quick vacuum, basement cleanups, the stairway landing where we take our shoes off, garage clean ups, work benches, Since it’s cordless, small and lightweight it gets used for all kinds of quick things.

I have a 18V Milwaukee one that works great but it’s more than $150 I think. I would say if you have cordless battery platform just get one as most manufacturers have them. Bonus bc I also bought a blower to match and it is great to blow up tubes and blow debris off cover and such
