I have this one:

WORKSHOP Wet Dry Vac WS1200VA, 12-Gallon Shop Vacuum Cleaner, 5.0 Peak HP w/bags and filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FBJSNSY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wFsxFbGY6TA60

I’ve had it for about four years and it’s eaten a heck of a lot of drywall dust in that time. I like that the hose locks in. I bought a coupler and another length of hose and that made it a lot handier.

I've had a Ridgid for 25 years, and it's still going strong. Loud as fighter jet though.

A friend has a WAP (German). Nice and quiet but it will cost you. If the Ridgid ever dies I'll look at quiet ones. 

Oh yea, my Festo saw came with a vac. Small, and uses bags, but it's quiet as well. Not very burly american "empty the cesspool" like the Ridgid is, but good for medium duty.

Howdy,

I have the Milwaukee M18 shop vac.  I use it ALL the time.  So much handier
to not have to deal with a cord and small enough that you can carry it to
where you're working easily.

Not sure what other options there are for good battery shop vacs if you're
not in the Milwaukee universe, but I'd certainly recommend that type of
shop vac.  Probably not quite the same power as a big corded setup, but I
find it much nicer to use than my old school one.

Mark
