I put mine outside for two reasons:

1) Quieter.

2) Even though the bags collect most of the dust, they do leak some.
Therefore I put the DC in a shed just outside the garage so that the
extra-fine, extra-harmful dust goes outside.

The downside to having it outside is that I have to go outside to turn
it on or off (I know, easily fixed), and that it does suck some of the
warmer garage air out. Small price to pay for much less dust in the
garage.

Hmmm. Wonder how my Home Owner's Association would feel about it....Oh
wait, I think I know.

Just another reason to get out of a neighborhood rules by an HOA.

Yuck.

I can't imagine it, myself. I'll mow my lawn when, and if, I damn well
feel like it. If I don't water it during August, it won't grow, so I
don't have to mow it. Problem solved.

Granted, it's a bit ...crunchy...

Lets see, your garage is probably about 6000cf, so 1200cfm is a complete
change every 5 minutes. Some warmer air?
