3 Gallon 18-Volt Cordless NXT Wet/Dry Vac

I use packout vacuum, cordless Ridgid shopvac (discontinued),and the m18 shopvac all with bags and filters removed. HD and Amazon sell bags for all kinds of vacuums. I install cabinets so packout is on my tracksaw. M18 on mitersaw, and Ridgid on m18 tablesaw.. I sweep and use m18 and Ridgid because they have more volume . I bolted on a crate on top of my m18 for packout compatibility (before the packout vacuum was released)...crate holds accessories and the hose.

I have the rigid and it works great.

DeWalt’s cordless vacs aren’t good. Get either the Metabo HPT 1.6 gallon, or Ridgid 3 gallon. Use an adapter if you don’t want to get batteries. Both are about triple the power of the 2 gallon DeWalt. The Metabo even comes with on-board storage for extension tubes. The only other cordless brand that has that feature is the Bosch 2.6 gallon. I really wish DeWalt would update theirs. I was hoping something was coming after they started releasing the stealth sonic models. Imagine a cordless stealth sonic! All that being said, the DCV585 is the absolute best cordless vac on the market, but it’s $450…. I already have the flexvolt batteries, but that’s still too much for a vacuum.

Miele. But if I had the room for it, I’d love to have a vintage Electrolux or a Hoover just for show. Edit: of course a RIGiD NXT shop vac as well. This is one case where the Home Depot house brand gets really good reviews. I also a VersaMatic left over from a previous place, which I don’t use. Not sure if they’re still made? Or maybe no longer imported into US? They’re great if you have wall-to-wall carpeting, which I don’t anymore. It’s a “hotel vacuum”. A skinny upright that can slide under furniture.

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

I have the Ridgid and its good

Get you a Ridgid and be done
