Compact Powerful Vacuums

[VroooomCrash]

Looking for a non-bulky wet/dry vacuum for interiors, specifically for pulling out fluid when steaming/folexing.

I came up with:
Fein Turbo (98" lift and 151 CFM @ 67 dBA)
Powr-Flite PF51 (100" lift and 114 CFM @ jet roar)
IPC Eagle EVO (103" lift and 120 CFM @ 57dBa)

Fein is $300, Powr-Flite is $125, IPC is $270


Thoughts? Any others?

I have one of these and lie it for the size and the fact that it is wet or dry.

Wow, that IPC vacuum is incredibly quiet.

Any particular reason for not considering RIGID?

I have had a Rigid in the past and not been happy with the performance and the noise level once it was not new any more.

What size Rigid vac did you have? I have a bunch of their 6hp W/D vacs and absolutely love them both at home and at the shop. They also make a muffler that quiets them down a touch. I have noticed that their car nozzle isn`t designed all that great. I usually grind down the spiky edges so they move across the surface smoother.

I had something about this size. I did not like the hose or hand tool. And when I used the wants to pick up a small flood, they needed to be duct taped together.

Perhaps your model is newer or better built.

If memory serves me right, I think my tank was white and top (motor) area orange plastic.

Mine also came with a crevice tool not pictured.

The IPC eagle is a great tool. It has a cleanable filter, it`s quiet and powerful. I`ve had mine for about three years now and it`s a good today is it was the first time I plugged it in.

Sweet-- I couldn`t find any info on it elsewhere. Have any other wet/dry vacs that you can compare it to?

Here`s a link to the IPC Eagle EVO Products : IPC Eagle EVO Canister Vacuum [1000w] - S6EVO The only one I can think of is the Fein 92027236090 Turbo I 6 Gallon Wet/Dry Dust Extractor Fein 92027236090 Turbo I 6 Gallon Wet-Dry Dust Extractor I did a lot of looking before I bought the EVO. I`m a one man shop though and I dump the vac after every car - to make sure my vacuum hasn`t stolen anything when I wasn`t looking... you`d be amazed what people hide under their seats then forget.
