My 20 year old shop vac went tits up yesterday; slowed to a stop in
the middle of some sawdust, spit sparks from the motor housing and
died in a cloud of electrical smoke as I yanked the plug from the
wall. After a chorus of "Taps", I decided to retire it permanently.

Anyone have a recommendation for a new one? The dead one was a "Shop
Vac" brand. It gave me long and faithful service but was *extremely*
noisy and had one of those annoying hoses that pulled out of the vac
anytime you reached for something with the hose. Looking for
something quieter with a positive latch of some kind for the hose.


Just bought one after my Rigid died. New one is ta da a Shop Vac.
Don't recall the model but they now have "silent" ones. They aren't but
are *much* quiter than vacs used to be. Hose locks too.
