I like my Stinger 2.5 gallon. It’s small but does a decent job for most messes.

I have the little rigid shopvac, the small compact one thats shaped like a rectangle not the little round one (i have that one too but its hooked up to my router table) thats always on my truck I dont think id ever bother with something *THAT* small lol....but im a remodel gc and not a handyman so i still have to vacuum up stuff that would probably destroy that thing in short order

In my experience if you’re going corded, Rigid are probably the best shop vacs I’ve seen. I have a couple of the corded/cordless combo Dewalt vacs that are really handy for small stuff on the move but if you want a bit more power go Rigid

That’s been my thought with my upcoming personal shop vac. Used plenty of rigid on jobs that are BEAT to shit and work just like day 1. Not saying Bauer isn’t good but as every tool, personal experience plays a big part.

Rigid - my biggest regret is not getting the replaceable bags because on top of the hair, you’re cleaning fine dust. It’s got a HEPA filter
