Affordable HEPA Vac

[David Ilvedson]

For some reason I couldn't see the picture on your link so I googled Euroclean and found the portable vac.   It is attached to a belt.   Can this be changed to just a strap?   I don't walk around all day with vacuum....

>Also most shop vacs are incredibly noisy!  This is the most quiet vacuum 
>I've ever used.  I never imagined a good vac could be so quiet! It's also 
>very compact and very powerful.  This source is unusual in that the price
