If it works good and dont restrict the air flow too much, it would be a nice thing to have, the air blowing out is really strong, well it is used for a blower, but what is nice is when you turn it on, it will not blow dust around the shop as much, like you might have saw dust all over your woodworking tools and if that blast hits it, it will be bad, it think if you keep that filter clean it would work good.

I agree I’m not sure how much of a restriction it has. So I try to keep the diffuser as clean as possible when I use it. I only use it for vacuuming vehicles and so fare I haven’t had any issues I do appreciate no dust blown back in to the car or onto the car on a windy day. As for the sound it still sounds the same .

@@Autofusionchannel how do you clean yours? I've tried just tapping the dust back out from the "inlet" side but it still isn't the same as before. I already have a new filter for the vac, so it wasn't that. No hose or attachment blockages either. And motor still sounds as good the day i got it. I was thinking to just put the clean "outlet" side under running water but don't want to destroy this thing, it's fairly inexpensive but between a new filter and possibly having to buy a new diffuser, these things aren't dollar store cheap for what they are. Just a few more bucks and a holiday sale, i could've probably gotten a new ridgid vac. Thanks for any info.

Yes it is a diffuser , my complaint is it stated that it would reduce noise. They have since took it out of the description for the product. Since this video other people have also done this experiment and are pretty much having the same experience. The original description is still on Amazon but not on the Home Depot site. But if you read the comments on the home depot site you can see that people where purchasing this product because it was supposed to reduce noise. That was the reason I even purchased this produce was to help reduce noise on my vac.

@truthbetold7170

This is an "air" diffuser, not a sound dampener it is design to control the air flow out of the exhaust port not the noise. This helps in environments where you don't want a massive straight flow of air coming out the back of the machine while using it. Instead in helps to spread the flow of air in multiple directions. This is perfect for say a shop vac under a miter saw table pushed against a wall if you didn't have a diffuser the dust that piles up from not being sucked up would be more likely to stir up. With the diffuser it would minimize the dust from being kicked up that was left behind.
