Questions & Answers

Can this be used at same time using HEPA filter & cyclonic bags?
ByNov 5, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hello Cameragirl, Thank you for reaching out. Yes, the diffuser can be used at the same time as the VF6500 kit. The diffuser is connected to the blower port of the vacuum, while the VF6000 green bag and the cyclonic bags are connected to the suction port inside the vacuum. Since these accory operate through different ports, they can be used simultaneously without affecting the vacuum's performance or airflow when installed correctly. We hope this helps. If you have any further questions or concerns, please call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time, or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com.

                  This noise suppressor is working great on my rigid shop vac. It does a nice job of cutting down wind and exhaust and also the noise. Great price too.
                  by
                  The piece fit well, all this does is blow the exhaust up and down and around instead of straight back. Works well!

                  This diffuser was very easy to install and works perfectly as advertised. I would recommend.

                  Total marketing gimmick. Do not waste your money. Piece of junk.
                  Complete and utter waste of money. Did not reduce the noise level of my vacuum one bit. I should have spent the money I wasted on this piece of junk on earplugs instead to spare my hearing.

                  Hello HomeDepot Customer,

                  Thanks for writing a review and we’re sorry to have learned your issues. The VT2525 muffler/diffuser is designed to disperse the airflow of the air coming out of the exhaust. Because of the way the product is designed, there is also a small reduction in noise level and it also can improve the pitch of the exhaust noise on most vacs. Unfortunately, we don’t publish specific percentages since sound reduction could differ based on a number of factors such as usage environment and accessory fitment. If you are using the vacuum for pro long period of time and or in a small room, we still do recommend to use ear protection.

                  If you have questions or concerns, 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.

                    Not suitable for sound attenuation
                    I just purchased it and will be returning it to the store. This product has minimal to no impact on reducing the noise level. Noise level exceeding 80 dBA is damaging to hearing. The Rigid vacuum 16/60 without attachments exceeds 85dBA.

                      False labeling
                      The store shelf says "muffler", the label on packaging says "noise muffler". This e-mail describes it as a "diffuser" . It does diffuse the exhaust so your shop vac doesn't blow things around behind you. It does absolutely nothing to reduce noise which is what a "muffler" is supposed to do. I use my vac on woodworking power tools so it runs constantly and adds to the noise of the tools. It works great as a "diffuser" but it does not serve the purpose it's advertised to do. I still have a loud shop vac.

                      Home Depot ought to refund every customer who purchased this, along with any Rigid Wet/Dry vac due to the terrible engineering and design of the exhaust outlet. Absolutely unacceptable.

                        Poor Manufacturing Quality
                        Tried to decide if this RIDGID Diffuser/Muffler that looks like a piece of plastic tubing with some foam stuffed in it was worth paying $13.67 + tax. The product description says "DURABLE BUILD Made from rugged plastic and dense foam. High Impact Material-Made with durable materials that resist dents or damage from everyday use." So I thought maybe it's worth it, so I bought it. Took the shrink wrap off and was disappointed to see a couple of holes or breaks in the plastic that look like defects in manufacturing. I don't know if this will affect the performance of the diffuser, but I wonder if the plastic will break even more down the line as I start to use it and air is forced through it on a constant basis. This shouldn't have passed quality control. Judging from what I got, it doesn't look like it's of durable build, rugged plastic, or able to resist dents/damage. I went back to HD to look at other RIDGID diffusers in stock to see if they had the same holes. None had the holes that mine has. I would return to HD for an exchange, but I lost the receipt.
