Compared on paper

Specs are the manufacturer’s ratings as listed, collected 25 October 2026. “Not stated” means the listing does not give the figure.

How the points were given

Each vacuum is scored on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on our How We Pick page. None of the five listings states an electrical safety listing, so every vacuum scores zero on safety. Two listings state a 12-month warranty term, and the other three state no warranty term.

Shop Scores range from a low of 9.2 to a high of 9.8, with each tool positioned by its weighted points proportionally, and more points always yields a higher score.

What the listings tell you

Four of the five picks run on a battery system the buyer must already own: three fit DeWalt 20V batteries and one fits Milwaukee 18V batteries, while the CRAFTSMAN ships with a battery and charger. Airflow figures run from 45 CFM to 50 CFM where stated, and the TRONYAN states suction as 8 kPa with no CFM figure. Three picks state a washable HEPA filter, one states a disk filter, and one states reusable filters. Only two picks state a warranty term.

Buying guide: best cordless shop vacuum under 100

Airflow: CFM or kPa

Airflow decides how much debris a handheld vacuum moves. Four picks state CFM, from 45 CFM to 50 CFM, while the TRONYAN states 8 kPa suction with no CFM figure, so its airflow cannot be compared directly with the others. Watts do not tell the whole story either: the 120W CRAFTSMAN states 45 CFM, while the 400W Rueqior states 46 CFM. Compare CFM with CFM, and treat kPa as a separate figure.

Battery: included or bare tool

Only the CRAFTSMAN ships with a battery and charger, a 1.5Ah battery for its 20V body. The other four are bare tools: three fit DeWalt 20V batteries and one fits Milwaukee 18V batteries, so a buyer without that battery system needs to add one. Check the battery list in the listing before buying, since the DEMIMA lists specific Milwaukee battery models and the Vijezoy lists DeWalt 20V MAX and 60V Flex batteries. For a garage-focused list, see our best cordless shop vacuum for garage.

Filtration and containers

Washable filters cut running costs, since rinsing replaces buying replacements. The Rueqior, DEMIMA and Vijezoy state washable HEPA filters, the TRONYAN states two reusable filters, and the CRAFTSMAN states a disk filter with two-stage filtration. The DEMIMA container states 750 mL, the Rueqior states 0.7 liters, and the Vijezoy and TRONYAN state 600 mL each. A larger container means fewer stops to empty it during a garage cleanup. See our best vacuum attachments for shop vac list for nozzle options.

Runtime and noise

Only the DEMIMA states a runtime, 25 minutes, so runtime cannot be compared across this list. Noise figures state 67 dB for the DEMIMA, below 67 dB for the Vijezoy and 69 dB for the CRAFTSMAN, while the Rueqior and TRONYAN state no noise figure. A stated noise figure helps for an attached garage, but it is only one part of the choice: airflow, battery fit and filtration decide the cleanup first.

Garage Fit Check

• Check the battery system first: three picks fit DeWalt 20V batteries, one fits Milwaukee 18V batteries, and only the CRAFTSMAN includes a battery and charger.
• Check storage space for nozzles and brushes: the DEMIMA and Vijezoy include extension tubes and several nozzles, and the CRAFTSMAN stores its crevice tool on board.
• Check the container size against the job: 750 mL, 0.7 liters and 600 mL containers are stated across the picks.
• Check the filter type before buying replacements: washable HEPA, reusable and disk filters are all stated here.
