I bought a new Rigid 16 gallon shop vac last fall---I have a Rigid of the same size that is over 15 years old which has been used in my remodeling business and outside at home(sucks up sweet gun balls like a boss).
I bought a muffler for the new one---it is now half as loud as the Dyson vacuum cleaner. And I cannot see any difference in suction with the muffler on or off. It is WAY more quiet than the 2hp Griz DC unit.
Only problem would be adapting a smaller lighter hose to attach to my PC ROS, have yet to see a good reason to do that.
A dusty shop is a productive shop.
