Fein 9-55-13 Turbo II 9-1/2-Gallon 1-1/3-Horsepower Wet/Dry Vacuum with Auto-Start

Product Details

Automatic Operation. The Fein 9-55-13 Turbo II 9 Gallon Wet/Dry Dust Extractor Vacuum features an automatic on-off switch. Plug your sander into the panel mounted outlet. When you turn your sander on, the vac starts automatically. When you shut your sander off, the vac continues to run for 3 seconds to clean the hose. Rugged Design. The Fein Turbo II is designed for heavy, continuous, industrial use. The Turbo II can handle power tools with inputs of 40 to 2000 watts (.3 to 19 amps). The powerful two- stage motor offers bypass cooling. This means that if the hose or filter become blocked, air will still cool the motor. Quiet. Producing a mere 57.8 dB (A) noise level at 3.5 feet, the Fein Turbo II is one of the quietest vacs available on the market today. Versatile. Depending on your requirements and the nature of materials you are working with, available filtering capabilities for this vacuum are, the 5 micron cloth bag, which is standard for this unit, the 1 micron pleaded filter cartridge, and the .3 HEPA filter cartridge, which are optional up grades. The vac can be used wet or dry. There is a large selection of accessories available.

• Auto start for dust extraction when connected to your power tool
• 2-stage motor with bypass cooling for a longer life
• Quiet operation at only 57.8 db
• 9-gallons solid, 6.8-gallons fluid capacity
• 16-foot long hose, and a fabric boot filter collects dust down to 5-microns

Looking right out of the Jetsons' household, Fein's Turbo II vacuum is one the most effective on the market. With features like automatic start and dust-sealed switches, it's specifically designed to work with shaping, routing, or sanding tools, which create a lot of dust. It's also as quiet as any shop vacuum we've heard, making it easier to use in close proximity to a project, or in an enclosed space, and its internal fabric boot helps keep dust to a minimum. The Turbo II has a 7.3-gallon solid capacity, a 6.8-gallon liquid capacity, and a 1,300-watt, 9-1/2 amp, two-stage motor. Its size and sturdy rollers make it very portable and easy to dump after being filled. Unlike some larger models, you'll still be able to lift and empty this vacuum by yourself. The body is solid plastic and will hold up well to wear. The shape of the vacuum makes it easy to move around a job site--there aren't any big handles or attachments sticking out (other then the hose) to get snagged when wheeling the vacuum around. Fein's Turbo II is--hands down--a very high-quality, very low-noise vacuum, well worth the investment for carpenters, woodworkers, and craftspeople. --Jonathon Tudor

Quiet for about 10 years - pdwilkersn - Torrance , CA
Have had this vacuum for about 12 years. The best feature of this vacuum is how quiet it was.(you can easily have a conversation with it on) Used it as a car vacuum and dust collection for my drywall and drum sanders, running it continuously for hours. The filter is reusable and lasted about 10 years. The rubber tool adapter, chord and hose still looks good and use it with 1-1/4 tools(could be tighter fit). The outlet and auto on/off feature is nice when using a sander. The outlet started to pop out when unplugging after a couple of years though. The last two years it has gotten as loud as a vac with the motor housing buzzing. I now need ear protection.
Update: bought a new motor for 5, replaced it myself and is back to quiet
