I'm wondering the same thing. Can we get HEPA filter separately?
I got the Hart recently and it has been pretty good. I used it to clean up some stuff in the garage including dirt, leaves, and then I built a new workbench so I had a bunch of sawdust from the cuts. It did great. Definitely worth it at $30. There aren't a whole lot of listed metrics for either vacuum, but from what I could tell the Hart is likely 80 CFM of suction power versus the Husky at 85 CFM. Both have the same hose diameter. I don't see that the Husky has a HEPA filter included but maybe I missed that.
Regarding how they compare to the Ridgid, the larger Ridgid has 120 CFM and a 2 and 1/2-in hose for $60. And a lifetime warranty. So it is going to be quite a bit better, but twice the price and the 16 gallon is pretty big. The Hart is basically the size of a 5 gallon bucket with wheels.
If you really want to nerd out on these, here are the metrics that you'd want to look at, but of course there are qualitative measures like whether it comes with a HEPA filter and warranty -
1. CFM (cubic feet per minute): this measure is used for dry items like debris, sawdust, nails, etc.
2. Water lift (also referred to as sealed suction): this measure is used for wet items including water
3. Air watts: a combination of the above, but rarely advertised
4. Hose diameter: generally a larger diameter hose has higher cfm and a smaller diameter hose has higher water lift (think of drinking water from a cup that is 5 feet below you - it would be easier with a small diameter straw vs a large diameter straw)
