From this thread;
I got to thinking (especially after using my "REAL" mind-numbingly noisy Shopvac this weekend for about 30 minutes...)
I have been watching for a "deal" on a Festool vacuum for at least a year, and simply cannot justify one at the prices...
Many of you have the Fein and tell me it works fine (pun intended) for use with the Festool sanders and TS55 saw...
Please confirm that, then...
Is the Fein as quiet as the Festool?
Is there any hose storage on the Fein?
Is there a quieter vacuum?
Provided all of that is true - which one do you reccomend?
There are numerous versions available: Fein Turbo I (around $300), Fein Turbo II ($350-$400), Fein Turbo II HEPA ($500+), Fein Turbo IIX AC HEPA, Fein Turbo X AutoStart / AutoClean (and at least for the last two, you are within spitting distance of a "big" Festool...
Oh, and yes, from my last Festool post, I have considered the CT15...but once you add the "good" hose, and hose garage (another problem with the Shopvac...) it isn't that great of a price concession...
I welcome your thoughts...
