I have the corded DEWALT Stealthsonic 9-Gallon and it’s the favorite vacuum at our jobsite because it’s so quiet. It is a little cumbersome because of the size but DEWALT has a slightly smaller 6-Gallon version that I plan on buying. A couple small criticisms I have with it are that it doesn’t have an air out port, so you can’t use it as a blower if you need to. This is probably why it’s so quiet, it seems to have an internal muffler. And the other criticism is that it’s not quite as powerful as a standard shop vac of the size, but it still cleans up the jobsite quite well. Personally I’d rather not have to put on earplugs just to do a quick cleanup.
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.
