One thing I would want in a car vacuum is battery powered wireless 🤔🤔
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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.
Great video. Another idea would be compact rechargeable car vacuums you can keep in your car.
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!
Found the Louis Rossmann viewer
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.
Great job I loved your review :)
Loved this!
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?
So much work for such a short video. The algorithm likes 10-11min videos.
I have been using Dyson V12 in car as well. It has worked quite good because the many attachments
That's good to hear!
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.
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'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!
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?
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Thank you so much! I have black carpet so this is a must!
Comprehensive and well considered, as usual.👍👍👍
Thank you so much for taking your time out and doing this research🙏🏼
You're very welcome! so glad you enjoyed it!
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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥
Awesome video! Thanks for doing the research so we can get busy cleaning. :)
Thank you!
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.
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!
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.
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
Please make video for 2024
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?
These are great reviews and have yet to let me down! Thank you
Glad you like them!
Love how you broke it down by size and type!
Personally I’ve one the second on you tested that plugs into the car. Yes it takes longer but I often find I use it while on break or more often. This resulting in me having to vacuum less overall
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.
at my shop we love the Milwaukee m18 packout vaccums for detailing! great video :)
Good to know!
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.
Nice video ! Will you do a cordless shop vac video ?
Can you do a comparison between the previous handheld vacuums and the eufy homevac h30 mate?
Thank you for the info!
You bet!
sick video
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.
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!
I have the ridgid but now I want to wall mount it like the craftsman. Headed to google to see if a kit exist
Been a Rigid man for years for detailing. Still have my original from 15 years ago that works great.
That is awesome!
Can you please do a follow up video with shop vacs that are battery powered
I have the beast vacmaster 5hp and it really is a beast.
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'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)
It's good to hear you're happy with it. We will note that for later!
I'm curious how the $35 ryobi PCL705B would have done. It has the ability to use any shop vac attachments.
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!
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.
What about cord vacuums with lift away capabilities? Thinking shark nv500 series
I wish price was not a factor -- and just the best unit. Which would that be? I don't care about price -- I just want the best for my problem of cleaning a car and if it is more expensive then that is likely why. So deducting points for price is a no-go in my metric.
My boy Numatic George got shafted here
💚 sorry. here's a green heart for him.
@@VacuumWars Oh wow I did not expect a response 😮! I just gotta say thank you for all the awesome videos you put out!
Mmm, my garage has been bereft of a shop vac ever since I moved in...might be time to change that finally!
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 .
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.
I'd like to see festool in these tests
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..
This channel is insane
Just curious, how run down are you on robot vacuum video ideas?
Were points giving for noise?, seems important considering the Vac sits on floorboards quite often.
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.
Can you repeat this with cordless ones from flex, milwaukee, dewalt etc
If I remember right, project farm also recommended a craftsmen shop vac
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Hello, Do you have a video comparing the Vacmaster beast with the Craftsman 5hp?
Can you do best bagged budget vacuum?
My shop vac only had a cord and plug lol am I missing something? How are y’all using in cars? I live in an apartment so no garage
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
Please do a video comparing enzyme cleaner effectiveness on cat urine odor. And test the Amazon enzyme cleaner.
Could you test the Bauer brand from harbor freight?
gracias a vos ya sé qué comprar.
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.
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
Any 12v options?
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.
Need one for water dust and dirt and mud😂.
these wet and drys should have powered roller brush tool. it can't get embedded dust on fabric seats without it.
Seems KÄRCHER in the UK has a more extensive lineup; I use a WD5 with the optimal claw attachment as we have three cars to look after, but most people on the UK use a Henry vacuum, due to their long hose and high suction power, and they do car cleaning sets as well. I find the Dyson cordless vacuums too cumbersome, although i take the floor mats out and clean them with the torque drive head on m v15, so it still has its uses.
Can you PLEASE 🙏 do cannister vacuums
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.
I think the market is ripe for Shark to throw its hat in the ring for a specifically designed car vacuum of their own. Though I have used my Shark Rocket Complete and and my Shark Vertex to clean my truck, I'd love to see what they'd be able to pull off in terms of a car/wet-dry vacuum.
Karcher wd series ?
Need a comparison of spot cleaners. Ryobi swift clean vs bissell pet eraser, etc. Thanks
Great suggestion! Our last comparison of those was at the end of 2021 - ruclips.net/video/IrJx6TE9uTY/видео.html
question is whether it's even worth it to get something like this if you already have a shark vertex pro lift away, that's already pretty portable (though i don't know the optional attachments)
We really love the versatility of the lift up / lift away vacuums!
Would you consider testing out steam cleaners? More so the high capacity cleaners than the hand held ones.
We need to consider those! Thanks for the suggestion.
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.
Videos like these needs to be longer
Aw thanks.
I agree, and also have the data or spreadsheets downloadable.
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.
Would love to see how Shark's Mess Matter measures up
I want to see a fur test!
Why is the title about 2024 if made a yr ago? (Today is 6/19/24)
Need 18v battery vacs too
oh no. None of those are available in france :( but great video as always
Has the ability for an air compressor vs being a functional air compressor = 2 different formats
What about Rigid?
Most of these belong in the bin, also where's Henry
Can you review the Quantum X upright vacuum
Hi. I bought Quantum X a year and a half ago, so I can give you my opinion. I wanted a water filtration vacuum for 30 years. I saw a Rainbow demo and really liked the concept of water as a filter. When I saw an upright version from Quantum, I got it right away. At first....I was in love with it. It really does have powerful suction and picked up so much stuff. But it's not high quality. The cover on the back for the hose port has a rubber piece that broke right away. The hose attachments aren't easy to use. I gave up using attachments. It's very heavy. I can not carry it upstairs and downstairs...no carry handle to distribute the weight. So then I had to choose between keeping it upstairs where my floors are carpeted or down, where I have hardwood and tile. The water basin gets badly stained if you use their fragrances. A few times, it just stopped running, even though it was connected to power, and I had to put it upright, then try again. It's also rather awkward to push. There's no doubt it's a powerful vacuum, but I was very disappointed with it overall. I'm trying to sell it, in fact. I ended up getting the Sirena canister water filtration vacuum. All the features of the Rainbow but only 1/5th the cost. Never had a canister before, but I truly love it because it's SO versatile, can clean everything, has an air purification function, and has high-quality hoses, attachments, etc. Sirena also has a HEPA filter at the exhaust as a backup in addition to the water filtration so the air is super clean and purified. Quantum X doesn't have an air purification funtion. If you do try the Quantum X, you have to pay shipping if you decide to return it. Some people do love it, but not me, not anymore. I hope this helps.
Super thanks please
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.
Let me know the results as I was going to get the metro vac myself
@@shaneinfinity4597 it’s been an amazing vacuum for 11 years now!
I live in a apartment , I dont have anywhere to hook up a shop vac :-/
