I have a 6 and a 16, and the 6 has plenty of power, plus the smaller hose is easier to maneuver

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.

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

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

Seriously, just get the stealthsonic, it is soooooo worth it. Ignore the Ridgid crowd on here.
