Based on this cordless wet dry shop vacuum's aggregated ranking of 92%, we believe that the Milwaukee M18 Cordless is currently the best cordless wet dry shop vacuum 2018. Furthermore, we think that our sample of 179 reviews from our sources gives us a high confidence level (more on confidence levels) that pushes us to call it a "no-brainer best choice."

The DeWALT DCV581H was apparently made for people who need shop vacuums for both indoor and outdoor use. It can run as a cordless model on 18-volt or 20-volt MAX batteries, which are sold separately, or electricity. It also comes with a washable HEPA-rated wet/dry filter that traps dust and, according to DeWALT, removes more airborne particles than regular filters.

A capacity of 2 gallons

Portable battery-powered hand wet dry vacuum that comes with a 0.3-micron HEPA filter and can be used as a cordless, but only if you buy a non-included battery.

What we like:

• That it comes with a wet dry HEPA filter sounds like a good start
• We kind of like that we can use it with the power cord (goodbye dead batteries), but we are frustrated that the battery does not come with it

A capacity of 0.5 gallons
