The 4-gallon RIDGID is the portable pick, the 6-gallon DEWALT balances capacity and storage, and the 8-gallon Vacmaster is better when you want fewer stops to empty the tank.
Tank size, hose diameter, filter type, cord length, wheels, storage, and attachments matter as much as peak horsepower. A larger tank usually trades away some portability.
Not for every tool. A shop vac can help with small tools and cleanup, but larger woodworking tools may need dedicated dust collection.
