My old vac bit the dust, it was at least 20 years old so I can't complain.
What are people using these days? Ridgid, Shop-Vac, Sears, or...? What size / HP?
What diameter hose... I think the common 1 1/4 might be too small but is that OK? A crushproof hose would be a plus, I also need a long power cord, at least 10 feet.
Quiet is always good too, my last one needed hearing protection.
I liked this Shop-Vac model 5873411 because it's about the right size, Lowes sells them, but it doesn't have great reviews and the 1 1/2 in hose is not common. I don't like Sears since their filters cost too much and there's no other place to buy them but Sears.
