It is not really silent, but this is not what is asked first: we want it sucks!
The suction power is good but has limits. Do not imagine sucking rubble stones with a diameter of more than 3cm with: they will stay on the ground. Thus, the large pipe can quickly suck up a large volume of small things (eg chips), but not heavy objects.
The filter is located below the engine block, quickly clog if you do him swallow too fine dust (eg plaster).
It cleans however rather well with an air gun.
Once stored, the cleaner occupies a certain place. Its destination is therefore the garage, workshop, cellar, basement.
It comes with lots of accessories, but keep a box for storage: not all fit on the vacuum cleaner.
The special tool plug (circular saw, sander, planer ...) is a real good idea:
The vacuum cleaner starts when lights up the tool and stops a few seconds after the tool stops.
The vessel has a large volume, and empties easily (the unlocking system is simple and quick, and the interior is stainless steel)
The 4 wheels allow a fairly stable driving even on a floor a bit rough (eg raw concrete screed).
In summary, a good buy, which I hope will last long!
