:Shawn,
I read a review a few years ago that rated Sears and Shop Vac as the best wet/dry vacs in the category. Ridgid (or Emerson Electric) makes wet/dry vacs for Home Depot and Sears/Craftsman. I work for Home Depot so I might be a little biased but check the prices between the two. I think you will find better value at Home Depot. The article was written before the Ridgid line came out at Home Depot.

The Ridgid vacs and most others are very loud. Shop Vac has their QSP (Quiet Super Power I think) line that is very quiet but I think they are a bit pricey.

I've had the 6H.P. Crafstman for 5 or more years (bought it before Ridgid came out) and like it very much except for the noise. I got a muffler through one of the woodworking catalogs for about 35.00 and it made a world of differnce.

Hope to meet you at R2K1 if I get to go.
