I would like to see a more detailed comparison between the Craftsman, Ridgid and the Vacmaster. Such as, if you would be cleaning the carpet of a vehicle.
I always love your videos because of the mostly scientific method used. One thing I can't understand ithough, is why would you think a small portable vacuum would be better for car detailing? I prefer the big heavy one on wheels with a long hose so it could just stay behind me and roll around as I clean the car. Craftsman has an even more powerful six horsepower full size. I would love to see you test full-size wet vacuums next.
I have the Porter-Cable model that you tested. I don't often use it for my car but use it in my work studio. I love that it is on wheels, and its suction has been very good for the 5 or so years I've had it. I've put it through the ringer too.
we use big shop vacs for cars, things like the 12 gallon shop vac and the milwaukee dual m18, it would be cool to see how these high end high power shop vacs compare
I'm really missing my trusty Metabo AS 18 L PC Compact here. It's cordless and since i got it it became my goto car vacuum. (Also great as a blower on camper trips, nothing better to get a grill or fire started than this bad boy)
I’m on Vid 3 of these 😂😂 from the small ones to the big 14 gallons.. but there sooo huge i don’t wanna fit that in the car and will get the bigger craftsman in the Van.. but def gonna go with that Vacmaster from this one, looks better fits in the trunk and a good vacuum. great vid 🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥
Have to say, after years of working in detail shops, 90% of the time your just using a basic long wedge tool, any of those claw or large ones would simply loose too much power to be useable in any meaningful way.
Honestly surprised the Ridgid isn’t in the top 3. I haven’t used the Craftsman, but I’ve used all the others on that list. It picks up way more than any of those in my experience
They're pretty much all junk. The battery dies so fast, and often they're not removable or replaceable. And they probably have even less suction than the handheld vacs in this video. I think a good option is if your home vacuum is battery powered and has a handheld mode, or one of those Shark liftaway designs that has a hose.
I've never found a car vacuum without a roller head that can handle dog hair embedded in the carpet and upholstery. You didn't have pet hair removal as a category.
Hey love your videos they are very informative and you score using great metrics! Any chance you are doing a review of the new Shark mess master portable car vaccum? - Would love to see a review on that one.
Statistically the rigid vacuum was definitely 2nd place if not arguably first place! This guy messed up and through off his entire statistic when he factored in price. Rigid should at least be top 3. This reviewer failed to remember that you get what you pay for. As far as quality of product goes price shouldn’t even be on the table.
Even with 250k+ subscribers, this channel is still underrated. My go to channel for years now, if I need information when ordering a vacuum or floor cleaner or just to keep track of development in the field. I have been following since the Roomba vs roborock sold me on the roborock. This channel is a breath of fresh air with all the objective testing. Keep going!
Great Job as always. Another category to consider would be battery based vacuums, such as Dewalt, Milwaukee, etc. There's even a Battery/AC version of the dewalt
I’ve had the previous version of the Eureka WhirlWind as my vehicle vacuum for around 8 years and it works like a charm. A couple inexpensive aftermarket accessories make it ideal.
I appreciate the transparency you bring to this industry, but I strongly feel that it’s time for a repairability score to be integrated into your reviews - it could dramatically impact purchasing decisions for people. For example: the Metrovac was dinged for its high price - but the Metrovac seems to be the *only* company on this list that willingly and easily sells individual parts for repairs (motors, gaskets, switches, etc.) as opposed to whole modules or worse, dark patterns encouraging users to just “buy a new one”. The right for individuals and independent shops to repair products has been eroded year after year. I have to imagine there are other like-minded reviewers of the channel who would rather spend $[3X] on a vacuum once than $[X] every 3 years. All that said: Keep up the good work, your time spent and contributions to the space are not going unnoticed!
I agree 100%. Build quality, repairability, warranty, and parts availability should all factor in. We need to move away from this idea of everything being disposable.
Being a car detailer for 7 years involved in many groups and forums, the rigid brand sold at home depot is what 75% of more of detailers use. Also many use bigger than 5 gallon though.
Getting a Harbor Freight Remote controlled outlet plug is also awesome for a shop vac. You can ziptie it to the hose end and turn it on and off without getting from your spot. $20 well spent.
I thought water lift is way more important for a car vaccum than CFM? The Vacmaster has much more lift than the Craftsman and the CFM is good enough for the Vacmaster. I don't see how the Craftsman is more powerful than the Vacmaster for auto detailing. Please explain.
I watched this yesterday and ran out and bought the Craftsman. I was looking for something smaller than I already have. I really like that it comes with the wall mount. Great video!
I would like to see a comparison between the craftsman 5 gallon 5.5hp xsp vs the STIHL se 33. If you have the video please point me to it. The stihl boasts 145 cfm. Wanted to see real world experience .
You mad a error throughout the video calling the armorall 2.5HP when it's 2HP confusing it with it's tank size 2.5 gallons lol But other then that nice to see them all side by side.
Is it not crazy enough that you let these killing machines live with you in your house? Now people take these driving with them? When the Vaccums strike next, we will have to pay for our sins.
Your videos are a lifesaver. I just bought a carpet cleaner and HEPA vacuum that you recommended on one of your videos. Are you going to expand on your content? If so can you do streamers, irons, humidifiers/dehumidifiers, & floor heaters?
I've owned the vacmaster beast for the last 5 years or so. It's great for the car and quick tasks around the house. I've been looking for the best battery powered wet/dry vac that's a gallon or so. (for ease of use for AC drip lines, small messes, ect). Can you do a battery powered small wet/dry vac video? Great stuff as always!
I bought that craftsman vacuum because of this review, its certified pooop. U literally didn't highlight that it has garbage cord managed, nonexistent hose management, weakest blowing capability and brittle hoses that are super stiiff.. my 3 year old Vacmaster beast was so much bettwr omg. I shouldn't have listened to u
The European version of the Beast has wheels, automatic cable winding and hepa filter, it is rated at 1500w. Unfortunately it does not come with the large flat suction head,but there are similar ones to buy.
The only attachment that probably 90% of detailer use is the credos tool. The rest of the attachments are pretty much pointless, and it’s just way to time consuming to switch attachments all the time. If a brush is needed then it’s the crevice tool in one hand and a detailing brush in the other. If u were to test them in that sense I bet u would have slightly different results.
Video idea: I’m looking for a good compact, wet/dry vac for cleaning up ashes in a fireplace. What would be the best to use specifically for filtration and ease of use cause I don’t need to clean up gigantic messes.
I'll have to say, the Stanley 4hp 5gal you reviewed is really nice and powerful. Purchased before seeing this and at a heavy discount. I am happy to see it rated well and I like your dedication to rigorous testing!
How badly are they companies lying about how much these vacs hold. The craftsman says 5gal, but the entire thing with the motor and filter looks smaller than a 5gal water jug.
Great review as always. I am really interested in your testing of the new floor moppers, like Tineco Floor One S7 and the Roborock Dyad Pro models. I'm looking to upgrade my cord free floor mop.
Do you know if the Vacmaster beast or Craftsman HP 5Gal are available in the UK or EU under a different name? They only way I can get them is through amazon import at 2 or 3 times the price! Same with the ArmourAll. Are there other great EU / UK options given the pricing?
I will be buried with my Metro Vac Pro. It is absolutely the best imo for automotive detailing. I need to convince a friend to buy your winner for comparison.
Have you tested the DeWALT 12 gallon Poly Wet/Dry Vac,Yellow,DXV12P? It suppose to be super quiet. Not sure how that compres to the top overall craftsman.
Please test the fein turbo 2 x ac hepa. As a vacuum connoisseur myself I’m sure you will love it as much as I do I have extremely high expectations for it!
Thanks! and have you ever seen a car vacuum with an electric agitator? Not to be confused with the vacuum driven type agitators. If I find something suitable I'll let you know. Thanks again.

Got the armor all and I stand by it. Solid vacuum
Good to hear you are happy with it!
I got one too, great!
How’s the suction power on it? Quick pick up or takes a few passes
we use big shop vacs for cars, things like the 12 gallon shop vac and the milwaukee dual m18, it would be cool to see how these high end high power shop vacs compare

So much work for such a short video. The algorithm likes 10-11min videos.
Been a Rigid man for years for detailing. Still have my original from 15 years ago that works great.
That is awesome!

What do you mean by wedge tool?
@@Drewlessthe slim crevice tool
And brush tool. That’s pretty much the only 2 tools I use
I completely agree with you professionally and personally.
@@ScrungoScrubszip it peon
Henry is also a car vacuum u can use the Dusting brush the crevice tool and the stair tool (if u got the pro kit the aero brush 140)
And if u get Henry wash or the green one you can use Hwash (Henry wash) as a wet dry
Honestly surprised the Ridgid isn’t in the top 3. I haven’t used the Craftsman, but I’ve used all the others on that list. It picks up way more than any of those in my experience
If you haven’t used the craftsman then you can’t say that the rigid is better
@@jeniferjoseph9200 I didn’t. Read my comment again
Cordless hand held battery powered vacuums should have been included. Having no cords to tangle is one of my major points when buying a car vac.
They're pretty much all junk. The battery dies so fast, and often they're not removable or replaceable. And they probably have even less suction than the handheld vacs in this video.
I think a good option is if your home vacuum is battery powered and has a handheld mode, or one of those Shark liftaway designs that has a hose.
I have the ridgid but now I want to wall mount it like the craftsman. Headed to google to see if a kit exist
Please do a video comparing enzyme cleaner effectiveness on cat urine odor. And test the Amazon enzyme cleaner.
at my shop we love the Milwaukee m18 packout vaccums for detailing! great video :)
Good to know!
I've never found a car vacuum without a roller head that can handle dog hair embedded in the carpet and upholstery. You didn't have pet hair removal as a category.
Karcher wd series ?
This channel is insane
Comprehensive and well considered, as usual.👍👍👍
Loved this!
Now this may be out of price range but I would love to see how the fein heapa vacuum compares to others in its price range..
Hey love your videos they are very informative and you score using great metrics!
Any chance you are doing a review of the new Shark mess master portable car vaccum? - Would love to see a review on that one.
Need one for water dust and dirt and mud😂.
Can you do best bagged budget vacuum?
Hello, Do you have a video comparing the Vacmaster beast with the Craftsman 5hp?
What about cord vacuums with lift away capabilities? Thinking shark nv500 series
gracias a vos ya sé qué comprar.
I live in a apartment , I dont have anywhere to hook up a shop vac :-/
oh no. None of those are available in france :( but great video as always
Winner: Milwaukee 2.5 Gal M18 Fuel Packout
Most of these belong in the bin, also where's Henry

I'd love to see this test as well! Ryobi has a 40v shop vac too!
Agreed and the ryobi PCL705B
He has one for cordless shop vac, but it is 3 years old. I agree, I would be very interested in an update to that review.
Ty for this suggestion, didn’t know they existed
Yes I want this! I operate heavy equip and I have room for a battery powered vacuum, I initially got one of the 12v ones here and they don’t cut it!
Thank you, as always, for a very detailed, fact-based review. I always rely on your videos to help me decide, and I appreciate your hard work
Thank you!
@@VacuumWars is it me or the Craftsmans & Vacmaster filtered the air best?
Please make video for 2024
I’ve had the previous version of the Eureka WhirlWind as my vehicle vacuum for around 8 years and it works like a charm. A couple inexpensive aftermarket accessories make it ideal.

I agree 100%. Build quality, repairability, warranty, and parts availability should all factor in. We need to move away from this idea of everything being disposable.
definetely, that would be awesome. but that would require the vacuum guy to know eletronics and stuff.
Being a car detailer for 7 years involved in many groups and forums, the rigid brand sold at home depot is what 75% of more of detailers use. Also many use bigger than 5 gallon though.
Which Ridgid model?
I have been using Dyson V12 in car as well. It has worked quite good because the many attachments
That's good to hear!
Getting a Harbor Freight Remote controlled outlet plug is also awesome for a shop vac. You can ziptie it to the hose end and turn it on and off without getting from your spot. $20 well spent.
Awesome. Thank you!

what's scaring me about the vacmaster is its warranty or lack of warranty or iffy warranty or flimsy warranty as compared to the rigid.
Can you PLEASE 🙏 do cannister vacuums
Great video. Another idea would be compact rechargeable car vacuums you can keep in your car.
I bought that craftsman vacuum because of this review, its certified pooop. U literally didn't highlight that it has garbage cord managed, nonexistent hose management, weakest blowing capability and brittle hoses that are super stiiff.. my 3 year old Vacmaster beast was so much bettwr omg. I shouldn't have listened to u
Why didn’t you post the actual test numbers? That would be very helpful.
Vacmaster is 100$ in USA and 221GBP in UK fuck me with a bat where is logic in this world.
Super thanks please
What’s the difference between airflow and suction and what does that mean for every day vacuuming
It would have been nice if he explained it in this video.
Can you do a comparison between the previous handheld vacuums and the eufy homevac h30 mate?
The European version of the Beast has wheels, automatic cable winding and hepa filter, it is rated at 1500w. Unfortunately it does not come with the large flat suction head,but there are similar ones to buy.
I'm curious how the $35 ryobi PCL705B would have done. It has the ability to use any shop vac attachments.
thank you, but I was wondering how do you compare the 5 gal vs the 4 gal from craftsman? they have a new 4 gal as well.
The only attachment that probably 90% of detailer use is the credos tool. The rest of the attachments are pretty much pointless, and it’s just way to time consuming to switch attachments all the time. If a brush is needed then it’s the crevice tool in one hand and a detailing brush in the other. If u were to test them in that sense I bet u would have slightly different results.
Can you repeat this with cordless ones from flex, milwaukee, dewalt etc
Video idea: I’m looking for a good compact, wet/dry vac for cleaning up ashes in a fireplace. What would be the best to use specifically for filtration and ease of use cause I don’t need to clean up gigantic messes.
Can you please do a follow up video with shop vacs that are battery powered
Videos like these needs to be longer
Aw thanks.
I agree, and also have the data or spreadsheets downloadable.
I'll have to say, the Stanley 4hp 5gal you reviewed is really nice and powerful. Purchased before seeing this and at a heavy discount. I am happy to see it rated well and I like your dedication to rigorous testing!
Thank you, and we are glad you are so happy with it!
this is garbage
where are makita and milwaukee?
I have the beast vacmaster 5hp and it really is a beast.
Excelente videos 👌
You say suction is more important than airflow, but simply adding the numbers together. Favors airflow.
Yes, I had to review the graphs separately and I went with the Vacmaster for high suction and high enough airflow.
I want to see a fur test!
Subscribing now :)
No Flex?
How badly are they companies lying about how much these vacs hold. The craftsman says 5gal, but the entire thing with the motor and filter looks smaller than a 5gal water jug.
Odd you didn't test either of Milwaukee's battery powered vacuums, they are plenty of power and much more portable than these behemoths.
Great review as always. I am really interested in your testing of the new floor moppers, like Tineco Floor One S7 and the Roborock Dyad Pro models. I'm looking to upgrade my cord free floor mop.

Were points giving for noise?, seems important considering the Vac sits on floorboards quite often.
Has the ability for an air compressor vs being a functional air compressor = 2 different formats
Mmm, my garage has been bereft of a shop vac ever since I moved in...might be time to change that finally!
these wet and drys should have powered roller brush tool. it can't get embedded dust on fabric seats without it.
If I remember right, project farm also recommended a craftsmen shop vac
I'd like to see festool in these tests
Thank you for the info!
You bet!
