I purchased Model 16004QV. This is one great dust collecting machine. I used a 2 1/2 to 1 1/4 inch adapter to hook my Porter Cable sander to the vacuum. In my kitchen I have Parquet floors that needed refinishing. I sanded the floor three times and applied poly after each sanding. After the final coat had dried I used a wet paper towel to wipe the counter tops, absolutley no dust on counters. The only regret that I have is that the Turbo Carpet Head and Deluxe Floor tool were not available from Tool Crib. I purchased these seperately from Love-less Ash Company. I almost lost my vac. when my wife used the carpet head in the house. It vacuums carpets better than the Kirby or other machines I have used. The crevice tool supplied really gets the dust and dirt out of corners and on top of base boards. I don't ever plan on sanding again without my Love-less attached to the sander. I can see no reason to have a dust table to sand on when you can purchase this vacuum so economical. It is a must for every woodworkers shop.

Several months ago I purchased the LoveLess 16004QV to replace my original Craftsman and I couldn't be happier. The unit is made of light weight durable plastic which really stands up well on construction sites. Its casters operate smoothly and is so quiet you can actually have a conversation while standing beside the machine as its operating. The hose is longer than most, doesn't get kinked and remains flexable even in cold weather. Coal dust, wood ash, sawdust, drywall dust, it doesn't matter as there is absolutely no dust blow-by and the water drain is simply a joy to use. It keeps up with the planer and sanders and changing the bag is easy and clean. The only problem I have encountered is keeping it on the truck or in the shop as my wife and kids are either using it around the house or cleaning their cars. A great investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Vacuum, January 11, 2007

While it's not exactly "quiet," it's not annoying - it's about as loud as your average shop vac (although I'd recommend wearing earplugs with any vacuum if you're in an enclosed space like a small room or hallway). I'm very impressed with the overall quality of construction - the hose is a heavy commercial type, the body of the unit is heavy polymer with exremely well-fitted seams. It produces a very strong vacuum - so don't be fooled by the 1.5 HP rating (as compared to the "6 HP" shop vacs that you see in building supply stores). It has dual internal filters - one main "bag" and one filter for the motor. You will need to buy a sanding head separately - and be sure to get an adapter for the hose on the sanding head to adapt to the 2.25" vacuum hose. In use, I can attest to the fact that it is very close to completely dustless. As a matter of fact, if you're used to having dust falling out from under your sanding device, it can feel like you're not removing any material - and then *wham* - you're into the paper . My unit showed up with shipping damage(UPS' fault), but the broken part was cheerfully replaced free of charge by the Love-Less folks - so I can also vouch for the customer service of the company (and it's a US company - which is nice).
