It will be used in our unfurnished 7000 square foot warehouse. The idea was that we didn’t have to drag a long cord all over especially if we are taking it into the rafters. There are limited electrical outlets in the warehouse.

What kinds of things are you expecting to vacuum up?

Dust, dirt, cardboard bits, plastic, wood debris, whatever is on the floo.

If it's just general dusting, any of the lightweight devices will work.

If you think you're going to need to vacuum up heavier things, or even nuts/bolts, go with Dewalt or Makita, and as someone else suggested, standardise on one device brand for cordless devices. It'll make buying batteries and chargers less of a hassle.

Personally, I standardised on Makita 20+ years ago and haven't regretted it, and parts remain available for a really long time. Their handheld shop vac device can suck up 3/4" nuts and bolts and doesn't flinch, and the battery lasts a long time.

Since we already had Milwaukee brand with wireless garden tools we decided to stay with that. So we got the wireless brand.
