Looked at Walmart.com and I confused my self on which one to buy. Not going to buy from them unless I can't find one around town. Any suggestions appreciated. [Reply]   [No Email]

It has a large push switch on top to turn on/off and has a carrying handle on top as well. It is about 2 gallons and has good suction. The smaller size makes it very easy to move about.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I happened to see a comparison in one of the wood working mags about the time I needed a new one. They rated the biggest Craftsman at the time the best, less money too. Had it 10 years or so and I'm very happy.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The first two were noisy so I did some research on the net. The Rigid was rated at being the least noisy. It is fairly quite compared to the screamers I had before. Lots of power, works well.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I have an older small one that is a good one, but I think they are all junk now. Makes me mad. Maybe I will try Rigid.   [Reply]  [No Email]

(one of 5 that I have) I use this one in the house to clean out the pellet stove once a week and sweep the floors a few times a week (cuz of the dawg). It's relatively quiet and has good suction. These used to be made in Canton Pa. about 20 miles from here. Now there all made by Charlie Chung about 12,000 miles from here.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I would not buy it until I first plugged it in and heard how loud it was, I have seen some that make more noise than suction. Sales man looked like he thought I was crazy but it's my ears not his at stake. I was satisfied with the Shop Vac brand that they sold.   [Reply]  [No Email]
