I spent a month looking at everything I could to find the very best. I was interested in primarily two things; static water lift capability and the lowest sound pressure level. The Attix 10 and Attix 8 are the winners in that respect. There is no over exagerated manufacturers' ratings. Very solid. The messured average sound pressure level is 60db. I can talk to my wife while it is being used in the house without having to shout at her. The motor has bypass cooling as well. This means that the motor is always being cooled even if the hose is plugged. You DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE FILTER FOR WATER PICKUP. The main filter is washable and lasts a long time.

These vacs are definitely state of the art. I just bought the stripped down version of the Attix 8 and am very pleased with it. The bags are expensive, but with very large capacity. The machine doesn't necessarily need bags, but because I just vaccumed my new timberframe house after the hanging of drywall, I felt the bags were necessary.

Good power, low decibel motor, attachments included in price ( not extra, like some vacs), and, in general, a very sturdy machine.

For most tradespeople the simple stripped down version, (which I purchased online for $360) will suffice.

I wish that a machine of this quality was being produced in the US.
