3 Gallon 18-Volt Cordless NXT Wet/Dry Vac

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

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.
