Combined with a Dusttopper it makes shop life more appealing because the vacuum cleaner filter isn’t clogging all the time. I have a Festool CT33 that I have used for tool dust collection for their tools but for my mitersaw and general shop clean up the Ridgid vac as I equipped cannot be stopped. There isn’t much difference in sound db between the two on high speed, the pitch is just a little different on the Festool but nothing irritating in my usage. For the money Ridgid shop vacs have proven to be long term work horses.
I've had one for many years and will second this statement. FWIW I also have an old Craftsman that I inherited from my dad (many, many years ago) and it's still going strong. I use ear protection when using either for long periods.
