Howdy,

I have the Milwaukee M18 shop vac.  I use it ALL the time.  So much handier
to not have to deal with a cord and small enough that you can carry it to
where you're working easily.

Not sure what other options there are for good battery shop vacs if you're
not in the Milwaukee universe, but I'd certainly recommend that type of
shop vac.  Probably not quite the same power as a big corded setup, but I
find it much nicer to use than my old school one.

Mark
