                    Poor RIGID technical service
                    After a year of using my drill, it stopped working. I sent it in for warranty repair, and a few days later it was returned to me working, but missing a screw and completely out of adjustment. I emailed Rigid and haven't received a response.

                      TRASH! DO NOT BUY!!!!
                      So disappointed. This vacuum has zero to almost no suction due to the filter thickness. I love all of my Ridgid tools except this pile of junk. I wish i could return it for a full refund.

                        Lifetime Warranty
                        They give you a hard time replacing any tools but from the 2003 era when they first started making these tools there was no registration set up for a couple years. Then when you go to try to replace these older batteries and chargers day give you a hard time about replacing them. It can't get it through their head there was no warranty registration set up in the beginning.

                          A hand held vacuum that with good suction
                          Great little vacuum. I purchased this a couple of years ago to replace a Makita stick vac that did not have a lot of suction, the Ridgid vacuum has a lot more suction than the Makita does, it has enough suction power that I am able to use the Makita Cyclonic attachment with it which collects most of the dirt in the cyclonic canister and makes cleaning the Ridgid filters less frequent. It's a great little vacuum, and it's still going strong after 2 years of heavy use.

                            I love the Ridgid cordless vacuum, it has a lot of suction and picks up almost everything. I use it in my camper and the long hose makes it very easy to vacuum without having to bend! I definitely recommend.
                            by
                            DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!
                            This is the worst product that I have ever had from Ridgid. The method of holding heavier, dirt and debris in the canister is a flap at the nozzle. If you’re holding the vacuum, so your vacuuming up from the floor and there’s heavier items in the canister, they will fall out through the little flap that is open due to the suction. If you try to use the wide nozzle (4”) There is not enough suction to even pick up smaller dust. If I could return this, I would. Buy a Dustbuster.

                                Nice and powerful. Convenient and lightweight. Warranty is great. Works well but for one thing. Poor design on where the extension wand connects to the cover housing. It just never stays tight and the extension wand becomes loose very easily while using the vacuum. I mean you have to put 'some' pressure on while vacuuming and this plastic on poly was just not well thought out. So other than that issue, which I feel needs to be improved by the engineers, this product meets expectations.
