For cars/trucks would you rather have this or the larger shop vac?

Unless access to an outlet is an issue, for sure a larger shop vac and buy the auto detailing accessory kit to go with it.

imo these are too weak to be practical unless for niche applications. I have the m18 fuel its somewhat strong suction but 120v corded is much stronger/faster. good for handymen, appliance repair, maybe some other trades, a travel vac for your camper/rv or maybe old grannies who cant lift a big shop vac.

This is the right answer. There's no comparison between a vacuum running on a battery and a proper vacuum pulling 1500+w.

But if you need a well built vacuum that runs on a battery, this one is good, albeit hungry -- it will chew through batteries in a hurry.

What I want to know is how this compares to the best price/deal for this vacuum during Holiday Season 2025. Pre-Black Friday prices are around the corner right now, and I can wait if I need to; am I likely to get a better deal than this? Because this doesn't seem like that great of a deal.

These have a loud pitched whining sound when on. The m18 fuel vacuum doesnt have that problem, except they put short hoses on all the vacuums, so it has to be real close to you when you cleans.

Fair enough - I did see a comparison between the two and the reviewer had noted/demonstrated the M12 Fuel being the louder of the two... and I always appreciate quieter vacs - that's why I like RIdgid's (corded vacs) so much.

Hose length wise.. they can really only be so long before you start sacrificing compactness, then people would complain that they're not as small as they could be. Longer hoses also penalize suction so there's that, too.

I ended up grabbing the M18 packout version largely because it's more 'ready to go' with the hose not being stowed away under the lid.. the less steps required to use it, the better, IMO.

The suction is really bad. I got a Craftsman 20v with a 5 ah battery for 89$ this summer and its WAY better

The Ridgid HD0318 3 gallon battery vac with 1-7/8" hose is amazing for the car. Once I got it I am just using it constantly especially to clean up food droppings and dirt from the kids.

Look at the stats - CFM, the M12 fuel, M18 2gal, M18 fuel 2.5gal are all crippled - 45-50CFM.

MKE finally got smart and they are releasing a 4gal 70CFM packout compatible vacuum that should actually be worthy.

IMO, they really need a new M18 Fuel? 65-75CFM, 2gal, and then this M12 Fuel.
