Already have a couple of "debris gobblers" that handle the big stuff but don't seal well and blow a bunch of dust into the air. Selection criteria, in order of importance are dust collection (1 micron), noise, portability, and overall cost including bags, filters, etc. Tool activation is a must. Primary use will be controlling dust from prime coats, sealers, sheetrock and cutting mdf but will get the occasional pile of scrap from demo because I don't want to haul 2 vacs to a jobsite. 5-6 gallon is preferred size.
I've looked at the Fein 9-55-13 and just noticed the slightly smaller, noisier, and less expensive 9-11-55. The Festool gets good reviews and the tool and hose storage looks excellent, unlike the Fein. Of course it's also almost double the money.
No good tool store in my area, so I must rely on the internet. Thoughts or suggestions?
