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.
My m18 Fuel vacuum is my new favorite tool. Homeowners always appreciate a clean work site and this thing makes it insanely easy. It’s compact, has good battery life, and stores the attachments inside. Plus I have the pack out gear so it clips right on. I use a big ass corded rigid vac for the really messy stuff though.
This is my exact loadout. It’s the perfect combo
I use rigid corded for dry since I can find parts and accessories locally without having to order and have a corded Dewalt for wet. Haven’t had issues from either and both have great suction. Also have a battery makita handheld vacuum for smaller spots and when it’s a small cleanup and I don’t want to have to get everything else drug out. It works great but imagine there’s a better one for the price. I just happened to already have the batteries.
Not OP but Ridgid brand is generally a good balance of price and sucking power if you get one with a cord. I wouldn't try vacuuming a whole carpeted house with one, but otherwise they do suck real good lol
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
I have the Ridgid and its good
Get you a Ridgid and be done
