I see lots of comments on the Fein, and had almost made my mind up to get one.....But yesterday I was at my local WW store and saw the PC. I liked the hepa type filter located in the lid and the lack of a canister filter.
I can't find much info on the PC. Does anyone have one?

I have an older Fein mini-turbo that I bought w/ intention of using for the shop to replace LOUD shop-vac, but we now use in the completed house due to low noise.
Try to operate the P-C and Fein together.
I use disposable (generic) filters from local hardware store.
BTW, I have several other P-C tools and a Fein router.

I've had the pc vac for a year and have found it to be a great unit for a very good price,

I've had both the Fein 9-55-13 and the older PC 7810 for about 6 years now. I like them both.
The Fein is a little quieter, the PC has slightly more suction. My Fein is set up with the optional HEPA filter - a big plus IMO.
Both good Vacs...

Do either one of these vacs use bags? The problems I have with my Sears vac 1. The filter clogs up quickly with fine saw dust and 2. You get a cloud of dust in your face when emptying it.

Yes, both the Fein and PC vacs use paper bags. Around $11 to $12 for a pack of 3. That's the only way to go - keeps things clean and easy.

I have had the PC7810 for about 3 years or so and it is a good unit. The only complaint that I have had is the accessory tool outlet pops out of its space and I have to re afix it. I hate to super glue it in case it ever fails. I am considering the Festool vacuum as I understand that they work the best with their sanders. I guess they have an adjustable suction so that you regualte the dust collection on the sander. Anyone onw the Festool that can provide their experience would be appreciated.
