If you aren’t buying the Dewalt silent model shop vacs you are just being silly.

The first one is good for cleaning up small jobs, or holding while cutting with a multitool but like others said don’t expect it to do the work of a normal sized unit. Dewalts Steathsonic vacuums are nice, I would recommend them to anyone, just absolutely head the warning and don’t run them without the filter

I'm loving the Dewalt Stealthsonic series (corded). So quiet; you can have conversations when it's around!

This. They are insanely quiet you almost forget they’re on. The sound of air sucking through the nozzle is louder than the vacuum itself

I got tired of listening to my Rigid, so when it died, I bought a Dewalt Stealth vacuum, and it is so much nicer not listening to the old one screaming.

I bought a Dewalt Stealth vacuum, and I liked it so much that I went and got another smaller one. They have plenty of power, and they are really quiet.

Dewalt Stealth Sonic. So, so quiet.

I'm kind of a tool obsessed person who loves to experiment especially when it comes to vacuums and I'll have to say every vacuum has its pros and cons. We have about 12 different types of vacuums around the house and by far the most satisfying to use is the DeWalt Stealthsonic. It's quiet, powerful and relatively affordable compared to the Dyson. But I would go to neither the DeWalt or Dyson for quick pickups and none of the the aforementioned can automatically touch up the house at night like the Roomba or Roborock Qrevo. To OPs original point, for pure suction yes it's the best tool but for portability, storage space, etc it sucks.
