I bought the Fein Turbo Vac II last year and love it. It has the switch outlet to autostart, a very long electric line and vac line, and its very quiet. It powerful enought, though the hose is a smaller diameter then most. I use it on all my tools except the thickness planner and joiner, there I use my old Sears which has a larger diameter hose. I got it from coastaltool.com
since after searching around they had the best deal, even with their ship charge.
Last year when I was at the Woodenboat show in Mystic, Conn, I walked into one of the wood shops in the Seaport, and they had about 4 Fein vacs in use. I felt satisfied that if its good enought for a professional shop like the Seaport, it'll work for me.
