I find myself intrigued with the Worx Cordless Cube Vac (WX030L), which is part of the brand’s 20V (Max) cordless power tool system.
The Worx Cube Vac is small and is equipped with a removable HEPA filter.
Worx says that its retractable hose extends up to 4ft for extra reach. The vac comes with small brush nozzle and crevice tool attachments.

Because of its compact and easy-carry size, the Worx vacuum doesn’t hold a lot of dust or debris. Its container can hold up to 6 ounces of dry dust and empties with a one-touch mechanism.
Worx says it delivers 10 Kpa of suction power, which they describe as being about half the power of a standard upright vacuum, and move 27.5 CFM of airflow.
The vacuum weighs just 3 lbs.
It comes with a 2.0Ah battery, which should power the vacuum for up to 10 mins on high or 25 on low, and a compact charger.
There’s built-in docking for the extending hose, as well as slots for the included attachments. An orange power button looks to be logically placed.
The single power button is also used for suction power control. Press once for low speed, twice for high speed, and three times to turn the vacuum off.
Price: ~$104

I have tried numerous cordless vacuums over the years, some of them great and some of them not so much.
I have found that the best cordless vacs don’t necessarily have the most power, flashiest features, or greatest capacity. The best vacs are the ones that are most convenient and easy to use.
This one’s intriguing. It uses a Worx removable battery, it’s extremely compact, and its form factor makes the vac look easy to store away at home or in the garage. It has a small collection capacity, but it should be enough for random everyday cleaning tasks.
And, it has a HEPA filter.
If I were a Worx 20V cordless power tool user, I would order one no-question. If I weren’t already happy with my current cordless vacs, I’d definitely be tempted to get one of these, even if only comes with one battery, which less convenient than having two or more.
I like the direction Worx has been moving in.
If anyone’s interested in a review, it won’t take much to convince me to give the Worx Cube Vac a try.

I like that button-empty feature. Why would this need to be hepa though? Seems like that would needless reduce suction.
Overall I think it looks really interesting. I like how my little dewalt can suck through the nozzle or I can pull the hose out though – for what I can tell this only works two-handed?
Maybe not a big deal given the small size…

I have one. My yard tools are all worx and it was 60 on sale. I doubt its up to the suction capacity of a milwaukee or dewalt but its great for crumbs and small loose debris in cars, kitchen counters, bathrooms, etc.
Definitely wouldn’t buy it it I wasnt already in the system, but it gets the job done in an exceedingly compact package that sits unobtrusively on a shelf

If I was already in the Worx ecosystem is seriously consider if it got down to $50 on a holiday sale or something.
I have the Ryobi P3240 and it’s great around the house and shop for quick pickups but I still pull out the big Ridgid for pulverized Goldfish extraction in the car or running the Dust Deputy.

Why this one after you talked yourself out of the makita 12v vacuum?

You mean the one I cancelled my preorder for 3 years ago?

The car cleaning vac seemed too specific, and with a bunch of loose – but thoughtful – accessories that will get lost all over the place.
Having a small vac that can be nearly stored in a shelf or cabinet, or left where it’s last used without posing a big trip hazard, could be a meaningful convenience.

That’s the one. It showed up as a related post, so I re-read it. Worx comes out with some good ideas, it just seems like the execution isn’t up to par with the ingenuity. The vacuum does seem interesting, just very small and lacking a single hand carry/use ability

A HEPA filter means nothing if the vacuum isn’t well-sealed. Even expensive Dyson cordless vacuums with HEPA filters often lack sufficient sealing. The result is that the dust just gets blasted out into the air despite the HEPA filter. Path of least resistance.

We use one of these to clean the drain lines on the mini splits at work. It does a good job. The lines are on a run of about 500 feet so the size and cordless are great.

How long have you used it for wet puckup? Has has it held up ok? The description on Amazon says it is for dry debris only.
