If you're a contractor dealing with a job site cleanup or just a DIYer with a messy workshop
0:05
then a regular vacuum isn't gonna cut it. You need something stronger like a shop vacuum
0:11
But once you start looking for one, there's tons of options out there. So to make things easier
0:16
I did the research for you, read through tons of reviews, and narrowed it down to the 10 best
0:20
shop vacuums. And if you find something you like, I'll leave links to all the shop vacuums in the
0:25
description below. First up is the Armor All Utility Vacuum which I ranked as the most budget
0:31
friendly and this one combines wet and dry cleaning with a two peak horsepower motor and a compact
0:37
two and a half gallon tank and this works well for tight spaces like cars and trucks. Now at around
0:44
seven pounds it fits the idea of a grab and go type of vacuum and the top handle makes it easy
0:49
to carry it around. Now it also includes a dust sealed switch that keeps debris out of the power
0:55
control and the built-in air and noise diffuser smooths the airflow at the outlet so the sound
1:00
feels less harsh. Besides that, it comes with a deluxe car nozzle for tight areas, a crevice tool
1:07
for gaps, and a detail brush for vents and interior trim. Now the 2-in-1 utility nozzle adds a brush
1:13
for light scrubbing while you vacuum. And when you switch it to blower mode, you can move the
1:18
leaves and dust out of tricky corners in seconds. So if you want an affordable vacuum that does more
1:23
than the basics then go with the armor all utility vacuum. Up next is the Dewalt poly vac which I
1:30
ranked as the best for wet messes and this tank holds 12 gallons and gives you room for multiple
1:35
wet pickups during one session and when you're done you can open the drain and let the water out
1:41
in a controlled flow. Now power comes from a five and a half peak horsepower motor so you can lift
1:46
heavier debris along with standing water and the blower port allows you to push sawdust out of
1:51
corners and clear debris from a work area before you switch back to vacuum mode
1:56
Now the poly body is durable and easy to wipe clean and the large rear wheels and swiveling
2:02
casters help it roll smoothly across the space. And the two extension ones give you extra reach
2:07
so you don't have to drag the whole unit every time you move. Now you also get a floor nozzle
2:12
a utility nozzle, a crevice nozzle, a cartridge filler, and a disposable dust bag plus an accessory
2:19
bag to keep everything together. So if you're dealing with more than light household spills
2:24
then the Dewalt Polyvac can be a lifesaver. Next up is the Fiend Turbo 1, which I ranked as the
2:30
best pick for dust control. And this one's built for sawdust, drywall powder, and gritty film that
2:36
settles everywhere. Not just the wood chips you can see. The 5.8 gallon tank is mid-sized
2:41
but it pairs HEPA filtration with enough suction for direct tool extraction Fain also rates it at about 151 CFM of airflow and 98 inches of water fill which helps it keep pulling even as the work gets dustier
2:56
Now it's also easy on the ears. The motor runs at about 66 decibels
3:01
which is impressively quiet for a job site type vacuum, especially indoors
3:05
Now this VAT comes with the auto start outlet with a brief power on delay
3:10
It's a real advantage with sanders or saws since the vacuum starts with the tool and avoids harsh startup spikes
3:17
And you also get good range with a 19 foot cord and a 13 foot hose
3:20
so you can work your way down a wall or along a driveway with fewer interruptions
3:25
So if you're looking for fine dust control that feels professional but still manageable in size
3:30
then you'll love the Fane Turbo One. Up next is the Ryobi Project Vacuum, which I ranked as the best for small capacity
3:38
And the 3-gallon tank is the whole point here. It stays light, it stores easily, and it works great for tight spaces where bigger vacuums are going to get stuck in the way
3:48
And the best part is that this is cordless so you can grab it and start cleaning anywhere
3:52
And Ryobi's 18 volt battery setup usually gives around 15 minutes with a standard 4 amp pack
3:57
But if you want longer use, then you're going to want some bigger batteries or extra ones at hand
4:02
Now for performance, it can handle wet and dry cleanup, moves up to 45 CFM of air, and can blow debris too
4:09
Now the flat top body stacks neatly and the accessories store on board including the washable
4:15
filler, crevice tool, utility nozzle, and hose. Now besides that, the hose stretches out to 6 feet and the clear design lets you spot
4:23
clogs and watch debris move through. Now the inlet port pivots as well which keeps the hose from twisting into your path
4:30
So if you want a small vacuum for fast clean up jobs, then you won't regret getting the
4:34
Ryobi Project Vacuum. Up next is the Shark Mess Master which I ranked as the most compact and with just a gallon
4:42
of capacity and a weight under 10 pounds this one's built for small messes that need quick attention
4:48
It's gonna cover spills and sloppy wet messes and it also picks up dry debris like crumbs
4:54
litter, and pet hair. And suction stays more consistent thanks to the cyclonic airflow design and the filter
5:00
layout helps reduce clogging as you clean. But what's most impressive is how easy it is to clean
5:07
After you finish you just vacuum up with a cup of water and it flushes the hose and bin out quickly
5:12
And when the mess is gone, a regular plastic bag can line the tank
5:16
Everything goes in, then you pull it out and throw it away. And there's also a squeegee, carpet, a narrow crevice, and an extension wand
5:24
Just don't expect a long run time because one gallon fills pretty quickly
5:29
Also the Holmes is only 3 feet so it works best when you stay pretty close But if you want a small vacuum that stays organized with useful attachments then the Shark Mess Master is a great pick Next is the Dewalt Shop Vacuum which I ranked as the
5:43
best dual power. And this is the one you grab when you want two options in one body. You can go
5:48
cordless with a 20 volt max battery, or you can plug it in when you want longer uninterrupted
5:53
cleanup. Now capacity sits at two gallons, which works well for job set debris and small water
5:59
pickup. Now the hose is 5 feet and crush resistant and it stores on the vacuum when you're done
6:04
And you also get a wide floor nozzle and a crevice tool so you can clean open areas in
6:09
tight spots without missing anything. Now for dust control, the wet dry filter is washable and
6:15
reusable and the built-in handle plus onboard compartments keep the hoses and attachment
6:20
organized. Just be aware that the power cord is quite short so you might want an extension on hand
6:25
but if you want one vacuum that fits both quick cleanups and longer work days
6:29
then the DeWalt shop vacuum won't let you down. Next up is the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Nexus Vacuum
6:36
which I ranked as the best cordless and this one fits the kind of cleanup where outlets are inconvenient
6:42
but performance still matters. A power state brushless motor drives a 6 gallon setup
6:47
with 87 CFM of airflow and 60 inches of suction and that gives you a steady pull for dust and debris
6:54
as you move from station to station and it gives you two run settings. You can go with max power
7:00
when you want stronger performance or switch it to max run time when you want to cover more ground
7:05
on a charge. Now on an HD 12.0 battery, run time lands between 31 and 47 minutes per charge
7:13
Now moving around is simple thanks to the cart and the reinforced casters help it hold up on
7:18
rough surfaces. Now the hose is also built to resist crushing and twisting and the large high
7:24
efficiency filter helps capture fine dust. And filter access is quick too since a simple quarter
7:29
turn lets you swap or clean it fast. And you also get a nine foot hose, utility nozzle, crevice tool
7:37
and two extension wands for better reach. So if you're looking for a full cart system that runs
7:42
on battery power, then the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Nexus Vacuum can't let you down. Up next is the
7:49
shop-back utility vacuum, which I ranked as the best value. And you're getting size, performance
7:54
and versatility all in one package and it doesn't feel overpriced. An 8-gallon tank gives you a lot
8:00
more room before emptying and a 4.5 peak horsepower motor brings enough muscle for a wide range of
8:06
tasks. And it also switches into a 95 CFM blower so you can push patio grit and corner dust out
8:13
into the open before you vacuum. And after that, the accessories help you match the tool to the
8:18
You get a gulper nozzle ready for larger material a crevice tool for tight lines and up to three extension wands that let you clean beyond arm length Everything you need for dry dust and wet pickup is included in the
8:30
filter system as well. Now you can roll it across the garage on casters or lift it with either
8:35
handle when you need to move it fast. Now the reach lands at over 13 feet between the 7 foot hose and
8:41
6 foot cord so you can cover more ground before moving the base. So if you're looking for something
8:47
that can handle big messes and still keep the budget in check then the shop vac utility vacuum
8:52
is the one to choose. Next is the rigid nxt which i ranked as the runner up and if you want the heavy
8:59
lifter then this is it. With a 14 gallon tank and 6 peak horsepower motor rated at 165 cfm
9:06
it holds more and pulls harder so whether you're cleaning up a full garage project or just tackling
9:12
a big wet mess, it'll keep the pace steady and saves you from constant stops. Now the hose is
9:18
seven feet long and it locks in securely so it doesn't pull loose while you work. It also bends
9:24
easily at both ends which helps you move around obstacles. And with the blower port, you can
9:29
quickly turn it from a vacuum into a blower. Now for surfaces, the NXT Max floor tool handles larger
9:35
areas and the wet shoe helps with liquid pickup. And there's also an NXT Max car nozzle for
9:41
smaller spaces and filtration is covered with the included fine dust filter and on top of that the
9:47
casters help it follow you around. The 20 foot cord cuts down on outlet switching and the drain takes
9:53
the pain out of wet emptying. So if you're looking for a well-equipped shot backing that can make a
9:57
big cleanup faster then you can't go wrong with the rigid NXT. Finally at number one is the Craftsman
10:04
electric vac which I ranked as the best overall and the motor is rated at six and a half peak
10:09
horsepower and the 16 gallon tank lets you keep cleaning longer before you have to stop and empty
10:14
it. It also gives you a blower port on the back which is handy when you want to clear out an area
10:20
without airflow first. And if you pick up liquids then the built-in drain makes emptying water much
10:25
easier rather than lifting a full drum. Now the hose stretches seven feet and has a wide interior
10:31
to help reduce clogs and I like how it flexes on both ends so when you turn or shift position
10:35
it keeps up smoothing. Plus the top carry handle is extra wide
10:40
and it gives you a solid grip when you lift or reposition it. And the accessories store right on the vacuum
10:45
So the nozzles and the wands are always within reach when you need them. And the 20 foot power cord also gives you a lot more reach
10:52
which means you can cover a bigger area before you need to switch outlets. So if you're looking for a reliable, all around shop vacuum
10:58
then you can't go wrong with the Craftsman Electric Vac. And that's it for today
