alto 7 gal. vac 
I purchased this vac about a month ago and love it. As stated in the catalog it is quiet, much moore so than my sears vac, Its suction is outstanding. This vac is easy to roll around and very light, the remote start switch is also a great feature as I do a lot of sanding and this vac works great for that. I like the compact size of this vac, it is easy to store. I would advise anyone who is looking for a small but powerful shopvac to consider this unit.
Great Vac if you can find the bags
This is a great vac, strong, quiet, etc...., but don't buy one unless you find a source for the bags and filters. The bags are expensive as well. It doesn't come with many tools & the hose end doesn't fit other brands of attachments. Too bad the company that makes it doesn't understand the importance of supporting a great product with the items needed to use it! When I run out of bags it will get listed on e-bay!
ALTO 62313 Aero II 7-Gallon Wet/Dry Vac with Auto Start
It's a great vac! Lots of power and very quite. Like the other review finding bags and filters is complicated. Amazon has the bags (not that there customer support folks seem to know that fact) but no filters. Amazon referred me to the Alto Corporation and they will direct you to a local distributor. My representative in Elgin, Il was very helpful--Lorchem Technology 847.468.8800.Alto USA:

A First Rate Vac
I have had my Alto Aero II for over two years now and have used it extensively, and it is still going strong even though I have probably over worked it by continually using a worn out cartridge filter. Because filters are rather expensive compared to Shop Vac brand I recommend this- always use the bag filters with your vacume, you can actually use Shop Vac brand bags, (at 1/3 the cost of Alto bags, and every hardware store carries them), this will make your cartridge last longer as well as making the whole process of cleaning a lot easier. For parts call Alto USA @ 800-237-2368, or American Cleanway @ 510-483-7394. I also use a Shop Vac which is actually just as quiet and performs just as well. The difference is that the Alto has better tools, nice detailing, and an electrical outlet for a sander or other tool for dustless working.
