Thank you . 2 hour later losing my patients and all I had to do was adjust the neutral wire

Tape that remote to the hose swing

With two shop vacs on series what is the increase in dB? Is it doubled? And, with the evacuation from a container test what is the air inlet size? If it is larger will the various suction configurations evacuate quicker? Thanks… good stuff!

😂

Going to need vent holes all along the bottom to burn though.

"Braid"

Btw some extractors have adjustable strength of suction so this can help adjust. Great content

I cannot express how long I was searching for exactly this test. I am currently adding a second extractor to my system

Thanks for the video - I bought one right after watching. I am STUNNED with how quiet it is - I know I saw your testing, but you know how it is - seeing (and hearing) is really believing! Loving this nice upgrade and may replace my other Rigid units (which are fine, but so much louder)! I use a vac at each major station with dust separator rather than a whole shop rig, so this additional sound suppression is a big deal for me. Thanks again for the review! 👍👍👍

This thing really is awesome for the price point.

this is the only dewalt thing I own

Bought mine not knowing anything just cause i’m a dewalt fan and always knew it was good but goddamn 😂

That thing is so quiet. It’s awesome.

My shop is 90% Ryobi, but that table saw is trash

Great video! I am deciding on what to use for a VERY small shop and 2.5" dust ports at most. I plan to use a shop vac, with cyclone, PVC connection to the table saw, a 3 port manifold - and the line runs will be 2ft max for table saw and router table. Everything else will be on a 10ft flex hose that I switch tools with. Hopefully that will work - and of course a respirator. Running 2 shop vacs and a table saw will draw so much power, I wont be able to afford exotic wood to turn in to saw dust. Your video re-assured me that what I am doing is appropriate for my situation. Thank you! - now subscribed - "Ribbed for her pleasure" was gold! LMAO!

4:17 I suppose that moment is the reason that I'm here. Oh, yeaaa... blablablablaaaaaaa hahahaa gg bruh 🙂

I have a dual VAC system right now and it works fairly well. I am planning on getting an air filtration system. Just reduce some of the dust that’s still left in my shop.

How would the automatic turn on when you start a power tool work with two vacuums ?

I have one of these vacs absolutely love it. It is quiet without compromising suction!

First time I watched one of your videos. This is a tough debatable subject. I see your idea. I watched many videos on this before switching to a dust collection system. I ended up going with the Harbor freight 2 hp one like the Wen you had on this video. For me my reasoning to do this is for several reasons. First I got tired of emptying the vacuum. Containment is very limited especially when using a big tool like a planer, jointer, or router. I wanted something with a bigger containment. Friction loss is higher in smaller hoses. Also the further or longer it is from any vac system your going to loose CFM’s. How much is depending on how many turns it takes throughout that journey from one end to the other. Something is better than nothing as for dust collection. The more you keep out your lungs the better. You also can see how much air those test pull from that smoke on the larger volume. If your pulling that much that fast that’s pulling the bad air away from your lungs before you get to breath that bad air. I have a very small shop and still use a shop vac with a small cyclone attached for sanding. I strongly recommend upgrading to a larger dust collection system as it will make your money back with the time you save on just emptying and cleaning the vacuum. A little advice on that Wen is that the harbor freight one is a bit cheaper when you catch it on sale. A little bit more powerful and already comes with a cyclone as that’s what the plastic bag is attached too. So just replace that bag with a plastic 55 gallon drum. You can go a longer time without emptying with it. Btw! I found your video both educational and funny. Well balanced video and have subscribed to watch some others.

Non MAR- ing castors.

Nice!

Thanks for all the great videos. I'm buildy my own workshop from scretch this summer/fall, and your videos have been very helpful in the planning process. I was close to buy one of those low pressure, high volume things...... Now I'm waiting for the Dewalt to be available in Norway any decade soon. :-) your channel is great!

Great experiment! I thought I was the only one wanting to put two or three shop vacs in // 😅 Have you considered the same 2 shop vac setup with a 4-inch hose? I’m considering so for my thickness planner which tends to clog my smaller hose.

Next up, how about running the shop vac and Wen in parallel, then try the same test well kinda…🤔 maybe play with different hose diameters?

Great video. Keep up the good work. Bought one of these without any research and so I guess I'm just lucky!

question what would happen if you connected the 4 inch hose from the wen to a 5 gallon bucket and added the to inch hose to the 5 gallon bucket ?? Since you have all the equipment that would be interesting to see what the result would be

Why is everyone a comedian? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Great vacuum, but it gets hotter than hell. Just be mindful of that and dont run it very long without giving it breaks.

Volts x Amps/746 is how I shop for power tools, followed by capacity where applicable. It's still mind boggling how people expect to get 6hp of electrical power out of a standard wall outlet. I tell people about CFM calculations all the time too, especially when they're trying to plan for ventilation use for things like fume extractors. "Throw 60 feet of chutes and runners on that and see what happens." Never fails.

Now for something really wild, there's no actual suction going on with a vacuum source. It's a higher pressure pushing air into an induction of a low pressure area created by the fan. The more effective of a low pressure area you can create, the more readily higher atmospheric air with move to fill the volume.

I have two Ridgid Smart pulse shop vacs that I keep on my shop floor. One is over 6 years old and gets used almost daily picking up dust from sanding and cutting of wood and metals as well as general cleaning . The filters I change at most once a year. I think I have gone more than 2 years without replacing the filter during covid when we were shut down for a while. They by far are the best vacuums I have ever used. You just have to nock the filters every once and a while to avoid any excess build up in the folds. Also they are assembled in USA.

There is no way a vacuum can be the best ever if it does two things. Plugs in a wall, and uses bags. End of story. It may be a good vacuum, but cords and bags are the bane of ever shop owner on the planet.

I have had mine for almost 2 years. Love it, you can actually talk over it. To be honest, I forget its on since every other tool is so much louder.

Pile of junk. Thermal fuse went out on mine I had to tear it completely down and since it’s in the windings I was left with jumping it as my only option. Only had it for a year and maybe used it 30 times.

It comes in a 6 gallon, also. I have a 12, 9 and 6 gallon. Safe to say I like them. Rockler just released a rebrand of the same vac as a dust extractor with several new features.

I have a DeWalt DWV012 Dust Extractor The Dewalt shop vac shown in this vid is a toy. Good for cleaning the floor but that's about it.

1:10 yes you are correct. It's the same in electricity. You need thicker gauge wire to run hotter currents. Use WIDER ducts for those longer runs. (now whether it tapers off to a "normal size" at each end if it makes the wider ducts in the middle moot... I'm not sure. I just know longer runs of anything, whether it's water pipes, electrical wires, or in this case air... you need WIDER. Try an experiment with sucking water through a straw: add a bunch more straws together and see how much harder it is to suck the water through) [I thought about it a little more: it wont matter the size of the tube from each vacuum, normal vacuum size... then it goes to a wider tube/duct and you're all good... BUT it's if you go BACK DOWN in size you'll get restriction and loss of air flow. Like an hourglass only so much sand will be able to go through it at once... but make the middle part of the hourglass wider and more sand falls through. In other words : Go wider as you come out of each vacuum, but you wont be able to step that back down without losing airflow.]

I got this a while ago. You can swap out the casters for better quality ones and you'll be even happier with them. My one complaint is that there's no swivel on the end of those hose. Since it's so short and rigid, that makes it a bit annoying to get in small spots.

instead of looking at the camera like a teenage idiot making a youtube video... TALK while the shop vac is going. THAT is how you demonstrate how loud it is.

I've had the 12 gallon for a year and a half. It's quieter than my old standard vacuum and is far quieter than any shop vac I've ever used. I've used it to clean my garage, collect dust, clean my car and pull glitter out of a carpet.

I’ve had my 12 ga. for about a year now and I love it. It’s so quiet and it sucks up sawdust wonderfully. I love that it has a bag. So easy to just throw away and replace. No muss, no fuss. Just a great vacuum overall.

If you want the quietest shop vac just attach a hose to the output and run it outside. I did this with a cheapo and just ran a straight pipe out a hole in the wall and it made a huge difference. Try it as a test and it will surprise you.

The quietness of it was insane! Nice review.

I got one of these last weekend, it's f-ing quiet

So many tool companies over the past 50 years have ignored their customer base and the chickens are starting to come home. Ridgid was considered to be the go to king of shop vacs. However, the other companies are coming on strong with competition, which benefits the consumer. Yet, brand loyalty is still so strong and the tool companies are hoping to brainwash their base into believing “theirs” is the best, no matter the cost. My suggestion for DeWalt with this vacuum…take it to the next level and introduce a battery/corded model.

Nice, I tried the newer 6 gallon stealthsonic from Lowe’s but it was no better then my 5 year old 4 galling shop vac, returned and still looking for something better

Is it still as good hooked up to a dust separator?

I have 2 of these twinned ( paralleled ) together with oneida dust deputy on jet 20 gallon tank that I use for every tool in my shop and it works perfect!!
