spend a little less than stealth and get a Ridgid 5HP
From what I've seen, $130 for a DeWalt is an awful deal when Ridgid is better at a lower price point when on sale. For $70, I think this could be worth it just because it's a good bit cheaper?
regarding the ear protection, project farm and some reviews are saying it's 82 db and OSHA claims 85 db is when you should wear hearing protection (but also distance to the vacuum matters). So it's up to you if you want to prioritize how loud it is. I don't wear hearing protection with the Ridgid and if you need to do something quick and not extended use, hearing protection isn't required.

The trick to buying a Stealthsonic is to buy it at Lowes, not Amazon. I'm seeing the 9 gallon 5HP at $100 and a 6 gallon unit at $75. No idea why Amazon's prices are so much higher.
Agree. Stealthsonic is way sweeter. Now I want to replace my other Ridgid with a Stealthsonic.
I just picked up the 9 gallon from Lowes for $100. Bought a $100 gc for $90 from the SD mentioned a week or so ago, so final price was $90.
Agreed on the stealthsonic. I have a ridgid as well and it sounds like a jet engine. I never use it anymore. The dewalt is quieter than my shark vacuum
