Pros & cons

DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Dry Hand Vacuum (Tool Only)

  • 46 CFM motor is the strongest published airflow figure among comparable jobsite handhelds
  • HEPA filtration meets OSHA Table 1 dust-control compliance
  • Ships with 6 attachments — extension tube, floor nozzle, flexible hose, crevice nozzle, gulper brush, round brush
  • Belt hook and accessory holder keep tools organized on a jobsite
  • Runs on the same 20V MAX batteries as DeWalt's drills and other tools
  • 3-year limited warranty plus 1 year free service and 90-day satisfaction guarantee
  • Bare tool — no battery or charger included, adding real cost for non-DeWalt owners
  • No published dustbin/tank capacity in ounces or liters
  • No published noise level
  • At 6.9 lbs, notably heavier than a consumer handheld
  • No motorized brush — not built for pet hair despite the handheld size

Greenworks 24V Brushless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum

  • Includes a genuine motorized 'Deep Cleaning' brush, not just a passive bristle attachment
  • 160 AW brushless motor with a 45-minute rated runtime
  • Fast 30-minute USB-C charge time, well ahead of most competitors
  • HEPA filtration with manufacturer-sold replacement filters confirming it's a real spec, not just marketing
  • Comes with a full accessory kit: round brush, soft bristle brush, crevice tool, and charging station
  • 3-year product and battery warranty
  • No published dustbin capacity
  • No published noise level
  • Too new a line for long-term owner reliability data on the motor or motorized brush
  • Greenworks' own site price ($220.99) is far above the typical street price — shop around before paying list
