I have not tried the shop vac so can’t rate this system but the leaf blower kicks butt and is pretty darn quiet. Lots of power for my needs plus the cord has some length. I had another shop/vac combo and this is definitely an upgrade for a fair price especially with the lifetime guarantee.

It has a lot of power for the size and it should work well for my shop.

Great Vacuum – Plenty of accessories. The vacuum suction gets the job done.

I used to own the 16 Ga version. They have made design changes to address weakpoints but have created new problems. Cord wrapping feature doesn’t work, the unit easily tips over and not balanced, too much air leakage between attachments compromising air movement when used as a blower……

I decided on the 16 gallon ridgid vacuum. The 16 gallon is great. Bulky but strong.

Great machine, relatively quiet for what it is and tons of suction…had to insert braces in the dust container so it doesn’t collapse!
