Review on ๐Ÿงน CRAFTSMAN CMXEVBE17595 16 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac: Powerful Heavy-Duty Shop Vacuum with Attachments for Versatile Cleaning by Ted Higdem

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much quieter than expected

I bought this to help with dust collection for a table saw/milling machine I'm building. I was planning to put a cyclone dust collector in front of it and build some sort of noise barrier, but after using it I decided this wasn't necessary. Here's why: 1) This unit is much quieter than my old DeWalt 2.5 gallon vacuum. It's not a quiet whisper by any means, but I can talk about it and the noise has a slightly higher frequency content, so it's very useful when sawing or routering. Continued use could be another issue, but that's fine for my application. 2) This device uses collection bags inside the vacuum cleaner. This has 2 advantages: contains finer dust and is easier to dispose of, costs $5 per bag. I add a front cyclone when I find I'm filling bags too quickly. But it's still great that the bags catch the fine dust that goes through the cyclone. This vacuum cleaner has enough suction power to clean the store. Tool storage on board is fine. It rolls easily without tipping over. In general very satisfied.
