I've had a Ridgid for 25 years, and it's still going strong. Loud as fighter
jet though.
A friend has a WAP (German). Nice and quiet but it will cost you. If the Ridgid
ever dies I'll look at quiet ones.
Oh yea, my Festo saw came with a vac. Small, and uses bags, but it's quiet as
well. Not very burly american "empty the cesspool" like the Ridgid is, but good
for medium duty.
