Just got the drywall sander (which feels very nice) so wanted to get some input on which shop vac you guys would recommend and also see if someone can help me with a link to the piece I need to go from the shop vac to the sander.
Ive had the Dewalt dxv10p (this is the 10 gallon one) for 6 or 7 years now and really liked it but I believe I've finally burnt it up as the motor is making a high pitch noise, grinding when it's turned off, and it smells like burning and seems to be spitting out rust.
Looking online I'm seeing the stainless steel model that's 10 gallons and then also there's a 16 in the gallon plastic one that's got a handle like a suit case. Both are around $220. Is it worth upgrading to one of these or just get another of the same one I had? I'd also be open to grabbing one from another brand so long as it's easy to hook up to the sander. I'd also consider the 60v dust extractor, but I kind of feel like at that point I should have just gone with festool or something higher end.
If you care to read further I will say the things I like about the Dewalt shop vac VS the others I've had (shop vac brand, rigid) are that it has 4 wheels that spin 360 (VS some that have 2 360 wheels and two that just go forward and backward) , the rubber strap that holds the hose in place and the big felt pocket on the back that holds all the attachments (VS some that have plastic mounts or pockets for the attachments). I do already have the 20v Dewalt vac (which kind of sucks) and then a smaller shop vac brand corded unit so I am looking for something in the 10+ gallon range.
Really appreciate any help!

I have a couple of rooms at the farmhouse that are getting new drywall. I've been looking at these for a few months. I was tickled when it popped up on sale for $110. I brought one home today.
Anyone else have any experience with these?
I cant spend $1000+ on a 7lb mirka, so what is my best option, trying to keep the price to less than that? This is for a 2000sqft home, not production use. Must be electric, too old to hand sand.
