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.
Ridgid makes a powerful vacuum in toolbox form and size that is just right for carrying to jobs and hanging it in the van. It’s a fantastic vacuum. Though lately I’ve been using the less powerful pack out vac because cordless.
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
