You are correct TOm that it would decrease the value, but to be
perfectly honest, it isn't worth much now any way. When I purchased
it, I paid $900 or so for it. If I were to sell it today, it would
fetch a price of around $500 to $600 and with the damage fixed and
only if it was so fixed

For small to medium sized plants, I use about a cup, but for the
bigger items that have to go in a leaf or large trash bag, I use two

I would almost guess that the peak hp of that motor is 3.5, but the
continuous hp is around 1.5- 2.0.
Which basically means, that if all the right conditions existed, that motor
could put out 3.5 hp. Which, connected to a 20 amp 120 volt outlet won't
happen. Convert it to 240 volt, and then it

The compact one I have is considerably smaller than DeWalt's standard

I have the Dewalt and it's done great for me. If you go on tooliday.com they
have a Milwaukee 18 volt kit for $139. It's reconditioned, but it's still
under warranty for a year. That is also a good tool brand.
One thing to think about with Dewalt. The battery fits anything that is 18
It will help some but you might like to examine the door when it is closed and
see how much air space there is around it. Most sound travels directly through
air so if there is half an inch gap say under the door installing a floor sweep
will reduce the sound easily and cheaply.

One more thing on the DeWalt.
Around here they are running specials in which you buy a tool with battery

It's always handy to have two batteries, so you don't run out in the middle

He really is pretty good about it. It is just that the noise carries straight
