Dust extractor
This was very easy to set up/prepare for use and works very well with hand tools. AI also use it to clean up dust around the shop from other things. Great suction, really fairly quiet and long hose (but not in the way long).

Liking this vacuum!
Lost my Bosch of similar size to a jobsite burglary, and after much research, replaced it with this. While it has slightly lower ratings for such things as suction power and noise level, it is not noticeable on the job, at all. It actually seem like a nice upgrade from the more expensive Bosch, as well. I like the tall handle and accessory storage, the hose and core straps work perfectly, and I’m so glad I got the model without the self-cleaning function. On the Bosch, it was like an irritatingly loud thumping every 60 seconds. It had a shut off button, but when using auto on with my shop tools it was of no use. Got really sick of that. Other things nicer on this Fein are the quality of the cord, hose, and attachments. I’ll eventually upgrade to a better quality anti-static hose, but for now I’m very happy with the one it came with. I wish they would offer a Permanent Fleece Filter Bag for this model, ( had to return the one I ordered ), as it’s a great way to keep the pleated filter clean and fresh. I’ve found paper bags to be a waste of money, ( at least with the Bosch ), as they’d bust a seam long before filling and trash the filter every time. The fleece bags that Fein offers have no zipper, so they are not cost efficient for chip collection. My work around is City Floor Supply Edger Bag with top zipper & Elastic Cuff. With a slight modification to the inflow assembly, it can be installed and removed for emptying. I’ll be using a cyclone separator for my shop tools, but this keeps the pleated filter clean for a long time. Oh, and I only use the expensive HEPA filter if I’m dealing with toxic materials on a jobsite. No sense replacing that one.

Fantastic
This vacuum exceeded my expectations. It is very powerful, and very, very quiet. I scroll saw almost daily and my previous vacuum was so loud that I had to use ear protection. The quality and the built in socket for automatic turn on and off is a plus. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone.

By far the best shop vac for this price point, maybe any price point
Could not be happier with this purchase.I’ve been looking at Festool shop vacs for years and have seen so many people rave about them. Those are more than twice the price of this one though and it’s hard for me to imagine they deliver twice the value.The engineering of this unit went way beyond anything I’ve seen in any shop vac I’ve ever owned.The Pros:* Super quiet (for a shop vac)* Twice the suction of our old Rigid* Hose feels nice, flexes easily and is super long* Power cord is super long* Everything has a storage spot!* Did I mention that everything has a storage spot?!!* Uses Vacuum bags instead of big hard-to-store and easy-to-clog filters* Very light (when not full, obv)* Square footprint which stows more efficiently, since very few rooms or closets are round.* Flat top surface holds random things while wheeling around* Flat top also means I can easily add a vortex later without designing and building an enormous enclosure side-projectThe Cons:* I hope they priced this thing appropriately so they don’t ever leave this business as I’ll never buy a different brand shop vac if I can help it.

A Good Shop Companion
I’m happy I made this purchase. I made a few modifications and I have one suggestion and one gripe.For the most part this unit is a real workhorse and very welcome in my shop or, as pictured here, on a project site. The vacuum is strong and the exhaust air is clean. The filtration system holds on to the fine particles and air is significantly cleaner than it was using my old ShopVac.The black square power supply automatically turns on the vacuum when you have a power tool plugged into it and turn on the tool. I use this feature all the time. Very handy.I would suggest to Fein that they offered a different switch mechanism for the HEPA dust hammer feature (over the black square plug used by the auto-on power supply feature. As-is, the hammer is automatically turned on every time you turn on the machine. With this feature on, it activates a sort of hammer system that bangs the HEPA filter out every 30 seconds or so. This is great if you’re collecting fine dust particles because it keeps your HEPA filter cleaner longer. With this turned off and no other filtering, fine dust would gum up your HEPA filter pretty quickly.When the Fein Turbo II is coupled with a Dust Deputy like you see in my first photo, the HEPA hammer feature is not really needed. Most material gets caught in the Dust Deputy. A little breaks through to the filter bag inside the mail unit. Virtually nothing gets to the HEPA filter. I would turn that feature off by default if I could, but I can’t. If anyone else uses the vacuum, I need to explain how to turn off the HEPA hammer feature or suffer the continual banging noise in the background.The room you see pictured had a recently demoed ceiling and I was reusing a lot of the 1/2′ drywall as part of a new soundproofing project to add mass. The Rotozip I used to cut out the old drywall (vs pulling it down) created a lot of drywall dust. The FeinTurbo II had no trouble cleaning it up – though, unfortunately, the vacuum didn’t attach in any way to the Rotozip itself.I was blowing through liner bags quickly before I bought the Dust Deputy (attached) in December 2020. This Dust Deputy unit is a must for me & keeps the cost of operating the Fein HEPA system a lot lower. I fashioned a platform from 3/8″ ply to mount the two-bucket Dust Deputy system on top & the assembly works well. The odd shape of the Fein top made securing a custom platform for the Dust Deputy easy. The orange bungie in the back came with the Fein unit. I just pulled it up and over the plywood platform.The hoses you see attached come from two different units. The skinny one is the one that came with the Fein Turbo II. The fat one was cannibalized from my ShopVac. This brings me to my gripe.Fein Turbo II comes with a hose system that is in no way easily adaptable to its environment. The Fein hose and adapters work perfectly together, but try to attach the hose to my Ryobi site table saw, my Dewalt miter saw, my Bosch router and router table, or my Porter and Cable jointer, my DeWalt orbital sander, etc. and you’ll find yourself returning to Amazon over and over again to find the right adapters. Even with the collection pictured in the second photo, I don’t have a good solution for getting suction in front of my thickness planer and some of the smaller hand power tools. If the unit operated in a Fein vacuum (pun intended) it would get five stars – or if they had an adapter kit that allowed me to connect to the majority of my power tools, I’d advise buying it, then raise my review up to five stars.The 4-step adapter that Fein sells just doesn’t get the job done. I think I might use it for my orbital sander, but that’s it. If you look closely at the Fein/Dust Deputy assembly photo, you’ll notice that I needed to remove couplings to make the 1 3/8″ hose fit the Dust Deputy. I had to remove the coupling from the Fein 1 3/8″ hose that went to into the vacuum port and essentially “stuff” the ShopVac hose over the hole. I had to “stuff” the Fein hose into the Dust Deputy adapter leading to the cyclone. While all of this works with a little patience and persistence, it’s a MacGyver rig.I would like the Fein unit more if it was universally adaptable to all of my tools and shop equipment. At this price point, I can’t understand why it didn’t come with some universal adapters.Hopefully someone from Fein will see this and say “Hey… we have the kit for you ,” but in the mean time, you might might to pick up a roll of duct tape and a few adapters if you want this unit to work in a well diversified shop.

TrÃ¨s intÃ©ressant, silencieux et efficace.Rien de comparable sur le marchÃ©, Ã mon avis.

This thing is WAY better than my old shop vac. Maybe 1/10th of the dust I used to see hit the floor. It runs quiet and the bag keeps dust tight inside. The addition of the outlet on the front for tools is also a nice touch. I highly recommend this!

Best shop vac Iâve had. As long as you donât really need it to be very large capacity, this one is perfect. Nice balance of size and volume, very powerful. Most importantly it is the quietest Iâve seen.

Great vacuum, high quality, long hose, good suction, and much quieter that regular shop vacuums.

You will need adapters to use your existing accessories (in north america).Otherwise is is just great. Excellent suction and very, very, low noise.The asking price and the not standard nozzle makes it a 4 stars instead of 5 stars.
