Hey boss man. Impressive results. I might have missed it, but were all the filters clean, or in similar condition? Would a plugged filter skew the results?

Incredible comparison, Rich! 💪💪👏👏 Keeping all this for the future vacuum.

I've run the Milwaukee battery vac ever since it came out. I suck up concrete, water, and dirt at work weekly it's been awesome for such a small vacuum 👍

I own a Rigid 6 hp 16 gallon. I got a free car detailing kit to vacuum with. The Rigid may not be the most powerful. But the detailing kit puts the Rigid over the top for me. I detail on the side. When a customer needs his vehicle back sooner than I like. Or a Soccer Mom needs a very good cleaning for Dodge Van. I can get the whole interior and between the seats with all the Rigid attachments. $95.00 online from Home Depot with attachments added. Shawn.

This is perfect as I have been looking at smaller shop vacs recently. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

That Milwaukee is super impressive for its size!!!! Sweet comparison video! 🙂

Wow! Thanks for sharing this. I’m actually thinking about getting one to replace my 19.2V Craftsman Vac. The vac is still running but the batteries are crapping out and not worth the cost. On the side note, few months ago my co-workers and I were actually talking about which shop vac has the best suction for garage clean ups. One of them said “my wife”. I choked on my coffee and almost fell out of my chair. My apologies if this is not appropriate and I will remove this comment if I offended anyone here. Just wanted to share since this subject reminds me of that day. Thanks again for the review.

This is just the vidya I needed thanks bud, still wish snapoff made a lil vacuum for the 14.4v

Hey , I was totally wrong ! The Milwaukee Blew it out the Park ! Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for this video. I’m in the process of choosing the right Vacuum for my Truck. Obviously I’m going with the Milwaukee, No doubt !

One minor thing if I understand correctly is that Maximum Vacuum is important (and i love how you used a proper gauge and all that) but airflow is as well, so measuring that with one of those wind meters or something may be good as well.

Wow I'm impressed with that millwalki I didn't expect it to match the 6.5 hp vacuum

I've been wanting one of those Milwaukee vacuums for a while. Vince from VCG gives it a good review.

Been in the market for a cordless vacuum for small messes or a quick clean-up. For anything bigger and takes more time, I would switch over to a regular vacuum (or commercial vacuum at the local car wash) or an air nozzle. However, I am vested in the Milwaukee line, so it looks like I'll be getting a new cordless vac!

You really should be testing roll delinters and possibly a nose hair trimmer too 😘 all jokes aside love your channel and your content! Keep up the great work sir.

i have had my Milwaukee for a few years i use it mostly for cleaning the cars out works good makes me wonder what the newer brushless one can do

After a few decades of "shop vac" experiences...not just my vac but with others, Craftsman has been the overall leader, for decades. Going way back, "Shop Vac" was the leader but good old Sears brand came through with flying colors. I had thought Rigid had the highest suction from what I have seen in recent past but they are still a good rig to have and use. Glad I still have a decent Craftsman 6.0 Peak low profile unit. Very please with it and I have a 20 foot hose for it !

Please forgive me Ford Boss Me for I have sinned. I did not pause the video as you had asked. I wanted to watch all the way through and see the results before leaving a comment. Both the Milwaukee and Craftsman are red. Both had the highest vacuum readings on the gauge. Red is my favorite color. This reminds me of a saying in the farming community. "If it isn't red.... leave it in the shed"! I have a funny story about my uncle's Farm-All versus his neighbor's John Deere. If anyone is interested I'll gladly tell it with Rich's permission.

Milwaukee

I own the milwaukee, seems to work for what I use it for and I'm in th Auto Glass Replacement industry

That was surprising, the Milwaukee matching the Rigid, I used to do detailing and many here in the UK recommended the Numatic George GVVE370 wet/dry, it's mains only so not really comparable here for this video but holy moly it sucks like nothing I've ever seen, only trouble is it sounds like it has afterburners lol, Still use it in the house though, beats everything else, would love to know what inch vac figures it would give. Hope you're all enjoying your break, BB.

I find "horsepower" rating given (by marketing team) very generous. A 15A 110v outlet will top out near 2HP. Therefore even a 20A outlet will be well under 3 HP.... So the 6+hp rating... Optimistic.

Been waiting on this

I have the same one.. the board dies in it, and I have had to return it twice. Awesome though when it works. Wish I could store a second battery inside it.

Didn’t know the Milwaukee had that good of suction. Only thing is that I’d avoid using a 2ah because I have only gotten maybe 3-4 minutes of run time. Thing chews through batteries

Milwaukee 4ahr

I have rayobi shop vac 18 volt it does great

ive used both craftman and rigid when i was a porter and the craftman was noticably more powerful then the rigid

I'm going with Ridgid cause I'm a Ridgid guy I love their life time service agreement

Wow I kinda thought Milwaukee would be towards the front. Battery powered tools have came along way. I guess days of dragging drop cords are over.

A surprise I have a 5 gallon craftsman wet /dry vac and I thought the rigid was going to be stronger. By the way I got mine on sale at sears for 99.00

I checked my Milwuakee with my digitial manometer and I got 38 in of wc so this verifies the Milwuakee performance. When I get a chance, I'll measure my Rigid

Woooo... What gauge is that? and what adapter/attachment is that? I want to make my own and test my power suckers now. Thanks for the idea.

That's milwaukee brushed motor vac too the new brushless one's are even better on the one you have boss throw a 12.0 high output that vacuum is a beast

Damn looks like you need to take that Dewalt stuff back

LMAO well this video is gonna suck 😝🤙 I personally have that Milwaukee vacuum I use it basically as you are to clean my car & a little mobile detailing for friends/family I got it because usually I don’t have access to 110V when I’m vacuuming my car I also use it on my work vehicle (there’s definitely no power available out there). It is a bit of a power hog I usually use my big XC8.0 battery for it. I almost went with that Dewalt because it’s both plug in and battery but ultimately chose the Milwaukee because I already am part of the whole Milwaukee tool universe with my M18 Impact and other tools glad my otherwise random decision was correct. I don’t think that Dewalt could handle the dog hair from my GSD in the back of my truck. I’ve added some accessories to get into the vents and all the small areas to expand what it’ll get into also

Craftsman 🙌

I bought the craftsman battery one before I did much research it’s ok but suction not the best . Crap could have got Milwaukee for 10 more and I have batteries from my impacts and wratchets 🤦🏼

CFM is the most important spec for a vacuum. The Rigid with its bigger hose will have more CFM than the Milwaukee

I think 🤔 the Dewalt will be the winner 🏅

well then... will have to wait for Dewalt to release something of Milwaukee performance

I'll take the Rigid 6.5 hp. Now to the video.

Milwaukee has two different models they have one for 199 and they have another for 299 which one is that thank you oh also could you include the price for that too please since I don't have the model number I can't look it up thank you

Rigid Is definitely the best

Electric CM

I believe the Milwaukee is stronger because it has a stronger motor not because of the battery

What Milwaukee model is it?

Milaukee

Stanley..... Always Stanley shop vacs bro

Rigid first, Craftsman second.
