Sticks are great for hard floors
They don’t really clean carpet well. Particularly if you have a dog or wear shoes in the house.

5 pages in and I’m the first to drop this one?
What’s the difference between a vacuum and a snowboard?

I don't know what kind of vacuum you've been using but the newer vacuums make emptying them a trivial matter, although I haven't used any of the stick vacuums.
i give up.Quote:

Easy to empty, easy to use, effective. Yeah, battery kind of sucks, but Amazon delivered a replacement when it died. Continues to work well after many years. I've been impressed with the Dyson stuff.
we put a central vac in this place when we built it and it ain't all that. I'd rather have the money back.
Have this one. It works well enough.Quote:

And the ones without power suck. But they don’t beat.
You need a powered beater bar to clean carpet
We’ve been a big fan of the Dyson stick vacuums. My wife wanted the latest and almost greatest but if it were me I would buy someone’s old one and put a kit on it for your dewalt etc battery.

I have one of the Ryobi stick models, albeit not that exact one. It's garbage.Quote:

Been spoiled to have super old beat canister vac for garage, ski bench, car, pellet grill cleaning. It was awesome for all things dry. Good filtering and suction It bit the bullet finally (it was about 40yo) and I need a recommendation for a shop vac. I don’t want a big conventional one, something handheld, but the battery ones I am not sold on.
Where should I start?
The Milwaukee cordless got rave reviews in another thread.
For a small shop vac that would be hard to beat if you are already on the Milwaukee train. Nothing Milwaukee makes is a toy.
Well????Quote:

If you are going to hook it up to a tool for dustless work, upgrade to a HEPA model. Otherwise don’t…

There's no difference, they both suck.Quote:
