Wet/dry cordless shop vacuums tested for suction, air speed, the ability to pick-up sand and water, and HEPA / air filter air purification capability. All shop vacs tested using 4 amp hour batteries. I purchased all of the shop vacs and products used to test the shop vacs.

From that point forward, I’ve never believed any marketing claim until it was confirmed by project farm. 100% honest, unbiased, and above industry standard testing.

      I agree. I have virtually every Ryobi 18V cordless tool (green, I had Craftsman 19.2 when Ryobi was still blue) made and added some repeats as they move to brushless. Plus, I have started to get some 40V yard tools to supplement my gas powered tools. My point isn't about all of my tools, just that I am, in a way, stuck with a certain line that I have come to really like and appreciate. However, that doesn't stop me from being completely enthralled with these tests. I guess I am rooting for Ryobi but it is just generally cool to see the level of effort put into the test... the prep work, attention to detail and total scope is always top notch.

      I'm on my second Milwaukee vac. I like the square shape as it stores easily in my van. It's even tough enough to serve as an occasional step stool to reach a bit higher though I wouldn't recommend doing so often or if you're a 'fuller figured gentleman'. However I find the suction is barely adequate. I cannot run a filter or it simply doesn't have enough lift to pull much stuff up. I work on yachts, so the compact size is nice for maneuvering around delicate woodwork and the like and it's not so heavy that it's unwieldy when full of water, but I sure do wish it performed closer to a full size corded vac. I think Milwaukee has the tech to do it based on their bigger M18 batteries, but this hasn't been a priority. I also wasn't surprised to see Ridgid do well given their track record with corded vacs.

    How about a laser level, especially testing to see what kinds are visible outside for measuring the grade in my yard....

    Very much appears that the Bosch, Dewalt, and Makita sacrificed some air speed and suction for a more restrictive air filter. Does a better job filtering, but slows them down. Ryobi and Hart had tons of suction, but almost no filtering. Milwaukee and Rigid had a nice balance. There's no free lunch.

      Dewalt had the worst suction, best longevity. Maybe it just runs slower. The best suction had the worst battery preformance.

    • @spenceranderson4045
      @spenceranderson4045 Před 11 měsíci +1

      That's because the motor is too weak in the dewalt compared to the others so it's drawing alot less power
