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.
Two options:
1) build your own central vacuum system. Allows you to really oversize on the vacuum motor, suction, and dust seperator while keeping noise to a minimum.
2) Dewalt Stealth Sonic series with a bag. I've got one. It's not the most powerful, but it's so dang quiet I can use it inside and my kids and cats barely notice.
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
