Hi

My old workshop vac has just about expired and I'm looking
for something with good filtration, quiet and reliable.
Both the Trend T30AF and Fein QA35E seem to fit the bill.
I'm leaning towards getting the Trend because it filters
to HEPA level and the bags aren't as ridiculously expensive
as the Fein's. Does anybody have any comments about either,
will the Trend be as reliable as a Fein?

TIA
Marcel

I'm not sure about these. I have a Bosch GAS50 which is a bigger
machine than those you are looking at. They have the smaller GAS25
which is in the range that you are looking. Very solidly built.

There is an electromagnetic shaker which vibrates the filter to drop
the dust into the container. This makes the filters last a *lot*
longer.

There is a stopper in the bottom so that if youi suck up a load of
water or wet material, it can be opened before needing to lift the
container to empty it.

You can use it with bags or without.
