When it comes to hand vacuums I’m all over the place. Looking to pickup a new one. I’ve had the Ryobi PCL705B & the Milwaukee 0850-20. Neither one is terrible or great. Both average. Anyways, anybody here have a recommendation for a particular one? Thanks guys!

Best handheld vacuum?

I use my Makita all the time, I bought the cyclone attachment and it helps out a ton but I still have to clean the two internal filters of smaller dust. I use the small Makita Cordless blower to get all the dust out of the filters.

Had a Milwaukee. Slightly better than the DeWalt. Hilti is better than both. None of the three are that good.

Are you referring to the M12 version the OP is talking about or the big m18 canister vac? Also, are you comparing the new Dewalt Stick Vac?Had a Milwaukee. Slightly better than the DeWalt. Hilti is better than both. None of the three are that good.

Your comment is nearly useless without some details. I find it very hard to believe you would rate the m12 stick vac above the dewalt I linked. It's universally held to be a low performer, which is understandable given its running on 12 volts.
I've a few hand-helds and I'm done with them.
I am also done with cleaning filters and whatnot.
I now have a small $60 Electrolux plug-in canister. It fills up, throw the old bag out and put a new one in. Works great as a dust collector for my sander too.

The ones I referenced are slightly larger than the OP's but still handheld. The DeWalt 18V, Milwaukee Packout 18V and Hilti 22V. Here is a link for the Hilti https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hilti-2...VuhetBh2aeQPFEAQYASABEgK1Z_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
The Milwaukee and DeWalt are roughly the same size and style as the Hilti. None of them are that good and the price of the Milwaukee is just silly. They are handy for very light jobs but are pretty crappy relative to cost.
