Absolutely love mine. Best purchase I’ve ever made for the shop. It’s maybe a little loud, but I wear ear protection all the time so I hardly even know it’s on over the noise of the other tools. I don’t know that it’s much louder than a conventional DC, but the pitch is a bit higher so maybe that’s more annoying? Again, doesn’t bother me even when I do a fast cut or something and don’t put in ear plugs, and don’t even notice it with ear plugs.
It’s got enough suction that you can move it to a more remote portion of the shop if you’d like as well. Adding another 20 feet of ducting (if you’ve got the room) doesn’t effect its function at all.
As for heat, maybe a little bit but I haven’t really noticed it. If it’s an issue, you could always build it into a closet and do some venting for it during the summer. My shop is 425 sqft, with an open rafter ceiling, so I suppose if there’s heat maybe I’m storing some of it up there.
FWIW, I’d make the purchase again in a second…and I’d buy the turbo model because ‘buy once cry once’ is real!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
