Very please with this unit, very quiet, good suction, easy to maneuver and has an extended power ychord length. I don’t have this unit long enough to judge durability at this time.

Excellent quality and the attachments ease of use. Reviews stated about how quite this vac was. I admit i was very impressed it’s quiter than my wife’s household vacuum.

I’ve had several wet/dry vacs over the years never seeming to find the one that is just right, until now. There is nothing I don’t like about this machine. It holds a ton, the hose is easier to handle than others, the cord is longer than any other I’ve seen, there is a place for all the tools, and it will pick up anything that fits through the hose! I was vacuuming up leaves and acorns in the yard and this machine was grabbing the crushed stone that I have around the bushes. It is also the quietest vac I’ve had. It is a vacuum cleaner so you won’t be having whispered conversations next to it but it is amazingly quiet compared to others. I shopped around looking at several models and was drawn to the Ridgid brand. I’m never going to wear out a wet/dry vac around the house so it doesn’t really matter but it is comforting to know that if anything does go wrong with it I’ll be covered under the lifetime warranty. Others have complained about the Ridgid warranty not being honored but I can only assume these people are leaving out details, like they never registered the product or don’t have a receipt. I’ve used the warranty with cordless drill batteries a couple of times with no problem so I’m comfortable that they’ll stand behind this. Unlike hand tools, when I went online to register the vac it could not be entered. I called their customer service and was told that wet/dry vacs are not registered online, they have a lifetime warranty with the receipt and serial number. All in all, this looks to be a high quality product at a fair price with a lifetime warranty so I give it five stars. What more could you want in any product?

Performance, fit, and finish (quality of parts, tool holders and canister) are the best quality. Limited Lifetime warranty is a statement about Ridgid’s commitment to the product. Consider the performance desired, attachments to add, and user reviews – lower performers will cost the same, if you buy the extra items – and you will regret your purchase each time the “cheaper” produce fails, breaks, or just cannot pick up.

Love my shop vac, it has really helped with a lot of clean ups at customers houses after I’ve had to sand down walls or after demo work. The hepa filter is so great and has held up since I bought it months ago. I have a ridgid sander now that hooks up to it and it works flawlessly!

I decided years ago to switch to Ridgid for the warranty, which no one else can compete. And they do stand behind it. I needed another shop vac as my motor burnt up on the previous one. I make cabinets for a hobby and create lots of sawdust. This Ridgid vac does much better than the older one (different brand). It is also quieter than any I have owned. The other day I was even able to hook it up to my ROS sander while sanding on doors, using one of the hoses that came with it. All the attachments are standard with this unit. Very nice. Thanks again to Ridgid for having another winner.

I bought this unit to hook up to my Dewalt orbital sander.After creating a personalized connection to the sander, this unit handled most of the dust created from sanding. The powerful suction gathered most if not all of the dust inside the handy bagging device inside the vac. The 20 foot cord is also very useful keeping the unit away from the work area. I also purchased an extension hose for it, which allows the unit to be kept at a distance.

This shop vac is a lot quieter plus on board storage of tools are a great feature.The best deal with free Car detail kit.

I was looking for a vacuum that I could connect to my intermediate filtering container while it maintains all the suction I need. This product does the job well. I have it sitting on a small table without the wheels so it doesn’t move off the table while running. I didn’t need to connect it to the table, it doesn’t move at all which is what I want. The hose I have is long enough to reach anywhere in my shop, so I never need to actually move the vacuum. I love this shop vac.

My old shop vac died after 15 years of use. It was a ShopVac brand. This Ridgid 14 gallon shop vac is just as good or better. It’s suction is great and its easy to use and move around. It comes with all the necessary tools included and has a handy tool carrier on board. One thing that I especially like is the ability to use a hepa filter bag with it which saves the the life on the main filter. I would recommend this shop vac to anybody. A good machine at a good price.

Haven’t had the vacuum long enough to give a through test, but I like the large hose, the quiet running motor and the good suction. Has the capacity I need for a small woodshop and will serve me well.

Liked the Idea that some of the tools from my ShopVac was compatable with the Ridgid.
Eulah Walter (verified owner) –
Great suction. FAR quieter than my 25 year old pro quality unit.I hope this one holds up like that.I built an adapter to be able to use the old accessories, as the new ones use a bigger hose diameter.

This is my 2nd one, the 1st one lasted over 10 years of abuse. If they keep making them like this, It is my brand for life. Filters are a little pricey, but I blow em out with my compressor and they last a long time.

Great Vacuum,good suction and easy to move around.

Wish it had little more suction power still better than others… Used on remodel house you have to get right over top of small nail to pickup… Says it can be used for small amounts of water pickup without having to change filter, wrong, barley 1/4 inch in tank, filter was soaked even with deflector in correct position. Should be sold with foam filter issue fixed… Other than this, I liked unit…

very lite weight once out of box. wheels and mounting feel cheap. have not got into heavy use yet. Lite pickup was fine. Had to put wheels on myself and was not expecting that. Did have life time warranty which is a good thing. We will see how this turns out with time.
