I am using it to vacuum all the grime and spiderwebs in my garage. It is so much easier on the shoulders than sweeping. Plus it’s all in the container so I just dump it out. No more dust pan line!

This vacuum met all my expectations.

The only issue I had with this hose kit, there is no attachment to connect this hose to my Rigid 12 Gal Vacuum. I’ll have to find an attachment at Home Depot.

Love the updated longer hose and it doesnt bend as to cutting air off on suction. Very necessary gor auto detailing

so much better then the black plastic hose, will only use these from now on

Everything shipped great and I also bought the extra hose and the auto detailing kit. The only negative to this is how you instal the wheels. The axle that they give you for the rear wheels and how it attaches is TERRIBLE. I would return but I am going to just replace later on down the road.

Well made and a great addition to a large shop vacuum in the workshop. If you are looking for a good hose here it is.

Hose was orange which I believe helped it suck a lot harder. Glad I went with this premium and not the cheaper black plastic hose, mine kept getting kinked and it was driving me nuts. So I shelled out the extra clams and purchased this bad boy.

Like the extra length.

Great value for the dollar and same grade as I got when I ordered from a commercial company for less.

Bought this hose to replace the one that came with my Ridgid shop bac. As reviewers had warned, the manufacturer shipped my vacuum with a cheap OEM hose that had to go in the trash bin. This one is of much better quality and is flexible enough to be useful. Since it’s new, I cannot comment on its longevity.

We messed up the hose on our Ridgid shop vacuum and this one is really nice and it will fit most all the Ridgid units. Would purchase again.

I recently made a dust collection system for my enclosed trailer at job sites. I bought two of these and I am also running a 6.5 horse 16 gallon rigid vac with the rigid cyclone on a 5 gallon bucket. These hoses are amazing and allow me to hook 2 saws up at the same time and catch 75 percent of the dust thegt

Needed a flexible hose for older Craftsman shop vac. Extra parts made it compatible for my use with smaller standard attachments and more flexible than the hose it came with.
Bette McKenzie (verified owner) –
Excellent addition to the shop vac I purchased. Makes cleaning out vehicles super easy.
Reva Kulas (verified owner) –
Excellent vac. Attached dust control bucket system with it and couldn’t be happier
Jeanie Ortiz (verified owner) –
High Quality, easy assembly and built to last beyond any plastic one
Bernadine Simonis (verified owner) –
Great replacement for the hose that comes with the vac.
Jermey Hagenes (verified owner) –
Good value and the hose is much more flexible than the hose that comes with the shop vac
Delta Beatty (verified owner) –
Works better and sturdier than original hose. Rubber adapters allow use of larger hose with smaller attachments.
