ShopVac Deal
Home Depot are selling a Ridgid 12gal/5.5HP shopvac for $29.
The web site says on-line only and sold out. However, I just returned from my local store where they had a whole stack of the suckers ready to go. In and out in 5 mins. Only had the thing a matter of minutes but it looks pretty decent and the price was right. If you need a shop vac, you might want to try your local HD. OSH/Walmart/Lowes/Target et al all seem to have shop-vac deals but they're all much smaller and less powerful machines. -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

The HD cheepo units I have heard are louder than a jet that is taking off. |

That model has some annoyances built into it, but not surprising for such a cheap vac. |

I expected something far from silent and this is a little quieter than anticipated. It's certainly quieter than a jet or a gas powered leaf blower. Similar noise to my car engine when running somewhat above idle (say 1500 rpm). Not sure how else to characterise it. -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

It really sucks! :-) --Steve |

It really sucks! :-) It blows pretty good too! Seriously, it blew a bunch of leaves, sawdust and other crud out of my garage in record time ;-) -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Never had this problem with my Sears vac. - Hose only has a rotating collar where it plugs into the vac, as opposed to my Sears unit, which had them at both ends. |
