SHOP VACS TESTED: Ridgid, Craftsman, Shop Vac, Bauer, DeWalt, Hart, and Stanley tested for horsepower, air speed, suction and noise level. Testing also included speed of vacuuming 5 gallons of water and 50 pounds of sand. Total water holding capacity also measured for each brand. Finally, each brand participated in a "grudge" match when the suction hoses were joined together. Hope you enjoy the video and thank you for supporting the channel. Best regards, Todd

So many, especially nowadays, are just spec sheets side by side, where a simple program could (and definitely does in some cases) just write the comparisons. PF actually shows everything and doesn't pick a clear winner most of the time, it actually gives you real world info and compares them in a useful manner. And any company is going to just focus on making the box specs look good, as evidenced by some of these vacuums having higher PHP, but drawing much less power, meaning they're doing less actual work.

Where else can you get a sandwich, a TV, a bite from KFC, a really powerful vacuum, and *still* be able to go a few isles over and buy a *gun AND ammo* for said gun. And if Covid hadn't happened when it did, Wallmart likely wouldn't own a _majority_ share in Asda. They don't fully own Asda, they just own _more_ of it than anyone else right now.

You said that a company standing behind their product is important and I couldn't agree more. But a warranty on paper doesn't mean anything if it isn't backed up in the real world. So, here is another video idea. Test the warranties from the big brands. Can you go in store, or do you have to ship off to a service center? Who pays for shipping? What kind of wait to have the tool repaired or replaced? You could even test the big stores extended warranties and see if they are worth anything. ie. Does Harbor Freight really stand behind their "Extended Service Plan"?

If you ever come back around to shop vacs and want to do an experiment, I noticed inside the exhaust port of my vac there wasn't a smooth airflow path and it looked to have a smaller cross sectional area than the intake due to the action of the mold they made it with. Since I never use the blower feature, I decided to hole saw some extra ports out of curiosity. Oh my goodness, not only does it pull a substantial amount more air than before, it is also significantly quieter! Huge upgrade for free.

Jonathan K good thing it’s your opinion because factually that’s not true. Craftsman beat Ridgid. No company would rebrand a product and have it perform better than their own name.

@PioneerSaturnDougie 2 года назад

I really enjoy and appreciate the work you put into testing products, simply awesome and keep it up. One thing I thought about when you were doing the pull-down suction/weight test with the rubber ball would be to change the diameter of the ball so each hose size has the same 'mating ratio'. So that the mating surfaces between the hose and ball are as identical as possible (ie, if one hose was only 0.500" it wouldn't have nearly the suction-area as a hose that was barely-smaller than the diameter of the ball). Definitely loving the vids :)
