Does it vacuum water
Hello Mamaw, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the HD1401 vacuum is suitable for wet pick-ups. Please be advised that when it comes to handling small amounts of liquid, our original pleated paper filter is a suitable choice. It effectively captures liquid without compromising the performance of your vacuum. However, for larger liquid volumes, we recommend removing the filter to prevent water misting and ensure optimal functionality. If you frequently encounter dirty water or regularly use your vacuum for wet pickups, we have just the solution for you! Our wet foam filter VF7000, available at Home Depot stores or online at https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-Genuine-Wet-Application-Foam-Wet-Dry-Vac-Shop-Vacuum-Filter-for-Most-5-16-Gal-RIDGID-Shop-Vacuums-1-Pack-VF7000-VF7000/202554976, is specifically designed to handle these situations with ease.

Is the vacuum hose 1 7/8 inch?
Hello Peter, Thanks for reaching out. The black standard hose is 2.-1/2" while the orange hose of the Car Cleaning Kit is 1-1/4". For any other questions, please call our friendly Customer Service team from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time. You can reach us at 1-800-474-3443. Alternatively, feel free to send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we'll be more than happy to help. Thanks, RIDGID
the published numbers don't add up. I quote "With 301 air watts, 165 CFM and 56 inches lift, ....." 165CFM & 56" lift computes to 1087 airwatts. How are you getting these numbers?
Hello wallyc, Thank you for your inquiry about our products, and we sincerely apologize for the confusion. A vacuum delivers its highest airflow (CFM) when there are no restrictions in the system. As debris, hoses, and attachments are added, resistance increases and reduces airflow. At the same time, suction pressure—measured as inches of water lift—rises as the system becomes more restricted. At a fully blocked condition, the vacuum reaches maximum sealed suction but produces no airflow, while a fully open condition provides maximum airflow with minimal suction force. In real-world cleaning, a vacuum operates between these two extremes, where both airflow and suction are present and necessary. Air watts represent the combination of these two factors and provide the most accurate measure of usable cleaning performance across the full operating range. If you have additional questions 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. Thanks, RIDGID
What does a 55inch lift mean
Hello Vale, Thanks for reaching out. HD1401 has a water lift of 56" ASTM Inches. Basically, Water Lift measures how strong the pull is.

Alternatively, feel free to send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we'll be more than happy to help. Thanks, RIDGID
It means the vacuum can create enough suction to lift a column of water 55 inches high in a test setup.
Can the vacuum be operated without a bag?
Yes you may use this shop bank without a bag however it must have a filter installed though.
