Now there’s a portable wet dry vac that pretty much works anywhere, especially where plugs don’t. The battery-powered, cordless wet dry vac from RIDGID is perfect for car cleaning and jobsite debris or anywhere that’s away from an outlet. This 3 Gal. wet/dry vacuum adapts to the existing 18-Volt RIDGID power tool battery system and is loaded with built-in accessory storage. A 1-7/8 in. locking hose that expands to 7 ft. , dusting brush, cartridge filter and car nozzle are included. It’s the most powerful cordless wet dry vac period. Everything you need to attack water and debris with a vengeance. It works best in places plugs never will. Battery and charger Sold separately; use VF3500 as a replacement filter.
- Works with all ridged 18-Volt batteries (not included)
- On/off switch located under the handle to prevent accidental activation
- 1-7/8 in. expandable locking hose expands from 2 ft. to 7 ft. for maximum reach and features a variable suction valve to adjust cleaning power
- Built-in accessory storage for the expandable hose and the multi-purpose nozzle

Nice and strong. I did not find it to be as noisy as people said. Not harsh on my ears. I bought the auto detailing attachments.for my mobile business. I also plan to add an 18 volt 9 Ah battery since my two 18 volt 4 Ah batteries only provide about 14-15 minutes of power each.

It just works great. Too bad it isn’t eligible for the Ridgid lifetime warranty.

More attachments would be a plus

Pretty good stuff for car cleaning. Especially if you already have some RIDGID powertools and you don’t need to buy powerpack for it.

Love the portability, no cord. Wish the latches were a little different, they kind of get in the way. I use it for work so they size fits great in the work van.

Great portable vacuum. It does burn through the battery pretty quick but not at an unreasonable rate.

Nice little vacuum, could use a smaller diameter hose, or ability to use filter bags

I have used Ridged tools for years and they never disappoint me. I used to be a General Contractor for years and I only use tools that stand the test of time and Ridgid has proven itself. The wet dry vac I was surprised the amount of suction it has. I have a 30 gallon as well and certainly didn’t expect it to stand up to the bigger vac and only bought it for quick touch ups in my truck and was surprised on the suction. I have a 4 door SUV and was able to vacuum the entire truck out and still had power left on the 2AH battery I have. I now have their Drill and impact drill and cant wait to try their saber (jig) saw, I am building an entire arsenal of Ridgid cordless hand tools and so far I am very pleased. My deciding factor between the Ridgid and Milwaukee was the Lifetime warranty, and am so happy I went with Ridgid. Don’t get me wrong, Milwaukee has great tools, I still have the Skill Saw I bought while in business back in the eighties hence it was a hard decision for me but am so glad I went the direction I did, Lifetime Warranty plus the price point makes it well worth it.

Very good performance, definitely glad I bought it.

I have several of these and the work great. Run forever on the 9ah battery, but do well with the 4ah ones too. Don’t waste your time with 2ah or smaller batts. I suggest upgrading the filter to the blue hepa to protect the motor from fine dust particles.
