Ridgid 72927 VT2525 Noise Muffler



Fantastic
Worth buying to prevent the massive exhaust from blowing your house apart. This really tames to exhaust flow by directing it in a 360 degree pattern, and also diffusing it with some very porous foam. Vacuum performance is not hindered.

It's not really a "muffler" as the noise level did not change for me, but controlling the massive amount of exhaust was my reason for buying. It should really come with the vacuum, but since it doesn't, it's a no brainer purchase.

Only makes a difference outdoors
Most of the noise coming from the vaccuum comes straight out the top. If you're inside, the muffler (which attaches to the exhaust) does nothing because the exhaust noise is nothing compared to the motor noise. Outside, the motor noise goes straight up and away and the exhaust noise is more of a factor.

If you use your vac outside a lot and have fussy neighbors, get it. If not, save your money.

Not for sound reduction
If you are looking for sound reduction you are looking in the wrong place. If you want to limit how far your canister vac can blow exhaust, this is what you need. It can be easily installed or removed and eliminates all forceful exhaust.
