Home Depot are selling a Ridgid 12gal/5.5HP shopvac for $29.

The web site says on-line only and sold out. However, I just
returned from my local store where they had a whole stack of
the suckers ready to go. In and out in < 5 mins.

Only had the thing a matter of minutes but it looks pretty
decent and the price was right. If you need a shop vac, you
might want to try your local HD.

OSH/Walmart/Lowes/Target et al all seem to have shop-vac
deals but they're all much smaller and less powerful
machines.

Did you turn it on? The HD cheepo units I have heard are louder than a
jet that is taking off.

Yes. Noise levels seem pretty reasonable to me. I expected
something far from silent and this is a little quieter
than anticipated.

It's certainly quieter than a jet or a gas powered leaf
blower. Similar noise to my car engine when running
somewhat above idle (say 1500 rpm). Not sure how else
to characterise it.

The HD link on DealNews (dealnews.com) shows this vac. They also have
a Dewalt Drill/Driver 18v for $97.00, a Dewalt 42 piece drill/driver
set for $10.00. A Porter Cable Compressor combo Kit for $199.00.

Dealnews has coupon codes, etc. Something for everybody....

That model has some annoyances built into it, but not surprising for such a
cheap vac.
