do you own a shop vac??

[aircooled]

I need a shop vac to keep in my little 1 car garage. thinking 10 gallon will be perfect (about 60 bucks a lowes). I have a $50 lowes gift card, so for an extra 10 bucks it looks like a good deal.

what size (in gallons) is your shop vac?

i think it is 11 gal. and 16 amp motor

1.5HP, 6 gallon.

2 of them.

- 6 gallon, Rigid brand
- 2 gallon portable, Sears brand

Each one has their own purpose, but the Rigid is an excellent vacuum. You can buy Hepa3 filters for it, which do a great job of filtering dust when using it. I'm sure the same could be found in the Shop-Vac brands that are carried at Lowes, though.

NO! Damn things are too freakin' noisy. The high pitched whine of those damn motors makes me cringe and gives me a headache. My wife's semi-quiet "By-Pass" vacuum will handle the few shop vac duties I require. Haven't required a wet vac in the last 20 or 30 years, so I guess I don't really need one.

ones labeled as such are rather quiet my dad has one of those from lowes, his old one was terribly loud, but the quiet series isnt bad at all.
