I researched this a while back and ended up with the Fein Turbovac.

If you have to stand next it when using it, it's the best. It has good
suction, but I don't know it if it matches the monster shop vacs. It
also has a plastic body, which might turn off some people, but it's
still rugged, won't rust or leak, and the top always seals well. You'll
notice it is also not cheap, but I really had no choice because I
needed to have lower noise. When I bought it, Coastal Tool had the best
price, but they seem no better than list now. Hunt around for price.
