Q:There must've been water left in the shop vac because the seam at the bottom has rusted and now leaks. The vacuum still works but it's counterproductive to have the dirty liquid seeping back out as I'm cleaning… I purchased a waterproof patch and seal spray that I am hoping to use on the interior. Do you have any other thoughts/recommendations?

    Q:Recently my Rigid shop vac ALWAYS blows. Sucks stuff in and shoots it right back out. It’s never done this before until recently. What am I doing wrong? There is t a switch to turn the blow feature on or off. There’s no “cap” for the blower port.

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello MeMyself, Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the dust discharge issue with your vacuum cleaner. We appreciate your interest in our product and would like to assist you in resolving this matter. Typically, dust discharge occurs when vacuuming debris without the filter installed, using a damaged filter, or using an incorrect type of filter for the job. We recommend checking the filter of your vacuum cleaner to ensure it is properly installed and undamaged. While we do offer a diffuser VT2525, its main purpose is to reduce noise and control air pressure at the blower port. It may not directly address the issue of dust discharge. If you have any further questions or concerns, our dedicated Customer Service team is here to assist you. You can reach them at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time. Alternatively, feel free to send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be more than happy to help. Thank you once again for your inquiry. We appreciate your interest in our products and look forward to assisting you further. Best regards, RIDGID

          Two motor burnouts in two years.
          Just burned out my second Ridgid WD10600 in two years. The first one smelled like electrical smoke and stopped running when my wife was vacuuming screens. I foolishly bought another one which probably has a total of 1 hour of use and it burned out 5 minutes into some light vacuuming in my garage. I contacted Ridgid for a warranty replacement that is still pending but at this point the best case scenario is I get a replacement vac that I don't expect to last any longer than the first two.

            Hello Dave,

            We’re sorry to know what you have experienced with the vac .In humid areas, surface rust can appear on the weld line on the back of the drum and if water is left in the drum, it can form where the bottom of the drum is connected to the drum walls. At the top and bottom of the drum, the drum is “cold rolled,” meaning no heat has been applied. These areas are as corrosive resistant as the rest of the drum except that if water/debris is left in the drum they become more exposed to corrosive agents over time. We want to know more of the issue. Please call our customer service at 1-800-474-3443. Note that our normal business hours are from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or, send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you.

            Thank you,

              Filter keeps coming off
              This is a piece of junk. Worked fine theorist few times and now the filter keeps falling off and blows dust all over. Might as well clean with an air compressor, that makes as much a mess as this vacuum. Will never buy another Ridgid product. Returning it back to the store. Gave it 1 star because I couldn't give it zero stars.

              Hello Dave Legault,

              Thanks for writing a review and we apologize for the inconvenience. We recommend the following instructions. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock™ filter over the filter cage and press down on the outside edge of the filter until the rubber gasket on the bottom of the filter seats securely around the base of the filter cage and against the lid. Align the small center hole in the top of the filter over the Qwik Lock™ stud on the filter cage. Press firmly on top of the filter near the stud to allow the filter to snap over the ball on the end of the stud. If you need further assistance, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you.

                Rusted through the bottom. I'd give it a 0.
                Poor quality. The RIDGID® warranty covers manufacturing defects but failures due to misuse, abuse and normal wear and tear are not covered by this warranty. If it’s not dried the water will pool at the rim and sit consequently causing the rust and holes. Additionally, THERE ARE SEVERAL GRADES OF STAINLESS STEEL IN THE MARKET AND THE ONES WE USE FOR OUR DRUMS DON’T MEAN THEY WON’T RUST, But They’re Highly Resistant To Corrosion Following The Proper Care And Maintenance In The User’s Manual.

                      Bad quality control
                      I received the vacuum in a non-damaged box but when I opened the box, I saw that the power cord was not installed correctly (see picture) and when I started assembling the vacuum, I realized that the hose was not in the box. I called Ridgid support and they didn't sound very surprised by my issues. They are going to send me a hose in 5 to 7 days. Bottom line, considering these basic issues that should have been caught by the most basic quality control, I'm not very confident on how well this vacuum will work/last. Note that this may explain why they provide a lifetime warranty.

                        Great product
                        Purchased this to replace an old craftsman shop vac that has treated me well over the years. This is my first Rigid power tool however I've used them in the past for work. The warranty program and the stainless steel is what really drew me to choosing this model. I plan to use it as my CNC vacuum once it's up and running but for now it's just used for miscellaneous cleanups around the garage. I still need to make a cyclone dust separator to get the most out of the filter. It's been able to pick up any wood/metal projects I've thrown at it so far. I can't speak to cleaning up liquids since I don't plan on ever using it for that. The packaging of this unit is really well designed. You shouldn't have any concerns ordering this online and I really wouldn't expect any shipping damage to occur from drops/bumps along the way. The attachments that come with it are pretty standard. The fittings all work as expected,, there is enough variation to meet most of your needs. The hose is a great size for basic use but if it sits in any mounted position you might want to grab some extensions. I wouldn't recommend removing the lid clasps from the steel drum and if you do make sure to use a MANUAL screw driver and not a drill. The screw bosses on them are really only designed for a few installations and removals and can be easy to strip out however that is pretty standard for thread cutting plastic screws. The plastic parts on this are really well designed, I tend to take most of the things I buy apart for design inspiration. As an engineer I know we sometimes scan websites for feedback so props to whoever designed these parts if you are looking at this. We will see how this holds up but I'm pretty impressed so far. If I had to make a decision about it now, I would buy it again and recommend to family/friends.

                          Decent vac for the work or pet area
                          Bought this to cleanup dog hair in the basement (where dog is most of the time) and construction debris from any projects i work on in the garage. I bought the upgraded hepa filter to vacuum the basement since dried concrete from the new house had alot of dust and debris. It has good suction, blower function and decent push force (leaves, dust, etc), but as others mentioned the motor is really loud so if in an enclosed space or using for more than 2 min I have to put ear protection. House is about 2-3 inches in diameter and can suck pretty big pieces but the down fall is that it wont suck a little tiny area very well without the crevice attachment. Bought the soft bristle attachment for wood floors and does mediocre job. I’ll eventually buy a central vac for the rest of the house and use this for garage/basement/car cleaning.

                          It's got power!!! I needed to clean my basement, so I decided to try out the RIGID 10 Gallon 6.0-Peak Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Shop Vac. I knew that my little Shark vac was not going to do the trick. Therefore, I thought that $94 was not a bad price...so I took a chance. It worked wonders. It picked up the dust, webs, and dead bugs that had been there for a while. The filter did not allow any dust out as well, so it kept all the filth in the canister. A little trick to make sure that dust never becomes an issue... Before vacuuming, add about 3-4 inches of water, add a little bleach, and a little bit of fabric softener. It will help prevent any dust from coming out, and it will let out a clean scent, instead of a dirty scent that would come out if it either way. The only drawback is the fact that the hose is bulky and at times sometimes hard to maneuver. With that said, it's not the biggest deal. Lastly, the attachments fall off easily, so that would be something to improved upon. With that said, I would recommend anyone this item who is looking for a shop vac for a big job. You will not go wrong with this vac.
