Nevertheless, HF Baur, DeWalt, Ridgid also make good shop vacuums, but remember that with Bauer, you want to buy the extended warranty that is simply exchanging for a brand new one.
Now, for some cordless deals... PF test results[youtube.com] were interesting. Ryobi did better than I thought it would do against the big boys.

That review video said volumes. Side-by-side, the Vacmaster is trash. Definitely waiting on a deal on the Craftsman 16 gal vac.
I bought one of these for $85 3 years ago to have on hand for routine garage/car cleaning and home improvement projects, and am very happy with it. The cord and hose are a convenient length, and I like the muffler attachment for indoor work. A friend borrowed it to use during a minor basement flood and it worked great for that purpose as well. Unless you're a professional handyman or something, the performance for value is great with this
Harbor freight is having a 25% off coupon on labor day. Usually they exclude Bauer but not this one. That makes the Bauer only about $20 more than the vacmaster. Bauer did significantly better than the vacmaster in the project farm tests. https://youtu.be/hSN7PXwn1yU

There is no Vacmaster in the YouTube review you posted.
.
It is in douglascm's link[youtube.com] against other shop vacuums, where the other shop vacuums can then be compared in the PF's link[youtube.com].
Interesting is that the Bauer is rated at 6hp and the Vacmaster and others are rated at 6.5hp. If we had not been using the 6.5hp Craftsman vacs for a few decades, I would consider the Bauer that old_ linked to[harborfreight.com] with coupon. But, I would buy the extended warranty for an even exchange for new if needed.

It seems that we have tried them all over the years and with one usually in each truck, home, shop and have given several away to family members, it is the Craftsman 6.5hp version that holds up the best with the most performance while lasting the longest.
We have one that is 40 years old with the switch broke to the on position and a cracked plastic motor cover from abuse that still works. I leave the filter out, attached a hose connection to constantly empty and use that one for water cleanup. It will not empty fast enough, but works ok. I thought about installing a submersible pump inside the tank to empty a lot faster than gravity and would pump uphill from like a basement, but have not got around to it.

I ended up buying the other 12 gal 5.5HP Vacmaster. True it has less CFM and suction than this 16 gal and probably Ridgid / Craftsman, it is likely sufficient for average homeowners, and smaller size is more convenient.

Is absolute nonsense. In comparison, thinking $65.76 for the OP should be the list price.
douglascm's link [youtube.com] is spot on. But, Project Farm's older test [youtube.com] that did not include the OP was interesting.
Perhaps be patient and wait on a sale for the 6.5 Craftsman from Ace Hardware [acehardware.com] or Lowes [lowes.com] or perhaps even Amazon [amazon.com]. We used to buy from Sears, but they want stupid money today.
