Our Verdict
Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3-in-1 Backpack Vacuum Kit
RYOBI 18V One+ 3 Gal. Project Wet/Dry
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3-in-1 Backpack Vacuum Kit and RYOBI 18V One+ 3 Gal. Project Wet/Dry are for different kinds of uses. The Milwaukee is a backpack-style cordless vacuum that's better suited for cleaning larger areas thanks to its longer battery life and included floorhead and extension wand. It also has an onboard HEPA filter and feels slightly better built. However, only the RYOBI can be used to clear liquid spills. It also does a better job of cleaning debris on carpeted surfaces, and its more compact size makes it easier to store.
