About This Product

An all-in-one kit that jumpstarts cleaning as soon as you open it: the RIDGID 3 Gal. 18V Cordless NXT Wet Dry Vacuum with battery and charger. The compact, lightweight toolbox design is the perfect companion for those looking for a small, yet powerful vac. The included RIDGID 18-volt battery and charger give you everything you need to start using this RIDGID shop vac. The 18V Lithium-Ion 4.0 Ah battery will provide up to 3X more runtime compared to the 1.5 Ah Lithium-ion battery (R870015). It also includes the 18V Lithium-Ion Charger. The compact charger features a Smart Charging Indicator that updates the battery's charge status. With the integrated storage compartment, the crevice tool and dusting brush accessories stay organized and secure onboard along with the 6 foot, 1-7/8 in. hose. The innovative RIDGID SWEEP feature gives you a suction-powered dustpan built into the vac - sweep the dust directly into the vac or use it to glide over spilled areas. Backed by the full lifetime warranty, RIDGID wet dry vacuums prove that even the messiest of jobs can be the easiest to handle. The RIDGID battery and charger are also covered under a lifetime service agreement. RIDGID shop vac filters help to maintain the power of the vac and extend vacuum life. Purchase a shop vac wet filter (VF3700; sold separately) to clean up wet messes or add a RIDGID dust collection bag (VF3501; sold separately) to the shop vacuum to keep the wet dry vac drum clean and for quick pickup and disposal.

            What is the average battery operating life when using the Max Output battery? And then when using the EXP battery? Thanks!
            ByMar 31, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hello Marcus, Thank you for your inquiry about our product. The average battery life of our HD0318 model depends on the type of battery used. When using the Max Output battery (9Ah), the average operating time is approximately 29 minutes. With EXP batteries, the operating time varies by capacity, averaging about 12 minutes and ranging from 6 minutes (2Ah) to 20 minutes (6Ah). The ampere rating (AMP) of the batteries determines the device's runtime higher AMP batteries provide longer usage. For optimal performance, we recommend using specific battery models with the 3-gallon cordless vacuum. These are the 18V Battery Numbers: R84008, R840083, R840084, R840085, R840086, and R840087. Please refer to the owner's manual for a complete list of compatible batteries. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our dedicated Customer Service team at 1-800-474-3443. They are available Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time and will be more than happy to assist you. You may also send an email at info@ridgidvacs.com. Thanks, RIDGID

              How does the filter come off? The cap on the bottom does not screw off.

              Answer This Question

              Hello Squiggy, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. For removal of the filter, place fingers under the two filter tabs. Then, while pressing down with one thumb on the Qwik Lock™ stud that protrudes through the center of the filter plate, lift up on the tabs until the filter releases. After that, slide the filter off the filter cage. The filter cage and float should not be removed. You may also refer to the owner's manual at: https://cdn2.ridgid.com/resources/media?key=49c3ecde-8b39-4093-a719-958747b88a27&languageCode=en&type=document If you have additional questions, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time, or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we'll be glad to assist you.

                I want this as well. An optional AC plug in option or battery. I know it will need a transformer to convert the AC to 18v, but I’d pay more to have both options in this vac.

                      I absolutely love how easy this shop vac makes thing the battery power makes it much more convenient and quicker. The only thing I would change is give it the option to store more attachments, and it’d be nice if the battery compartment was a bit more water resistant so if it’s the bed of a truck and it rains there isn’t a problem

                      Little single charger is a weak excuse...
                      I have been a faithful Ridgid cordless tool user for 18 years. Their warranty is the best. I have added a few more Ridgid tools to my set this past year. The main complaint is the single charger power cord. It is so small & flimsy that it wears out & breaks under normal construction use. To use such a tiny cord for a construction tool is an insult to construction professionals. Sorry for the rant but I need to be honest. When my buddy pulls out a "real charger" (in red or yellow) and I have to pull out this flimsy thing?!? Come on guys.... Why bother with this little thing? Ship the real charger with your tools!

                        Lifetime warranty is a scam
                        I bought this because I needed to replace all of my dewalt tools to keep mine separate from my co-workers. I thought I would replace all of my tools with rigid because rigid advertises lifetime warranty. I bought this shop vac, the 16 gallon shop vac and a 18v drill driver combo kit. The shop vac melted the cord with in two weeks of owning it. Rigid said they would not honor the warranty unless I could prove that the extension cord it was plugged into didn’t cause it to melt, Extension cord I had used for years. They won’t allow me to register the drill driver because I lost the reciept. Don’t buy rigid tools thinking you’re getting a lifetime warranty because you are not it’s a scam. They make it so difficult to register you just give up and don’t honor the warranty if you do get it registered. Do you want to do business with A company that dishonest. Shop vac seems to work fine drained battery’s really quick though. To bad the warranty is a scam I was going to replace all of my tools, now I have to find another brand.

                        Hi boogsbro,

                        Thank you for purchasing a RIDGID wet/dry vac, and thank you as well for taking the time to leave a review. Feedback like yours is genuinely valuable and helps us identify opportunities for product and service improvements.

                        We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the warranty process. Warranty claims may be denied when there is evidence of misuse or abuse, as these situations are not covered under the warranty terms. The operator’s manual notes that the vacuum should be plugged directly into a wall outlet or used with an outdoor rated extension cord. For full details on the lifetime warranty coverage and procedures, you can visit: https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/wet-dry-vac-warranty.

                        Regarding the registration of your drill, RIDGID Power Tools will be able to assist you directly. You can reach their team at 1 866 539 1710.

                          Great Vacuum / Beware of the Warranty
                          I purchased this cordless shop vac just over two years ago, and up until last week it has performed flawlessly. After using it for a minute last week I shut it off for a moment and was unable to get it working again. After contacting the Ridgid Warranty division, I was instructed to mail the vacuum to them, but I would be responsible for the postage. After packaging the vacuum, I took it to the post office and was told it would cost $53.00 to mail it to the Ridgid repair facility, which is in Ohio. I called the warranty division back and after telling them what it would cost to mail the unit to them, the representative had me go through the 3 Year Warranty process instead, which consisted of submitting photos and testing the switch of the vacuum for continuity. After I submitted the photographs I received an email from a Ridgid representative informing me they received everything I submitted, but it would take 2-3 weeks for the claims department to decide how they would handle my warranty claim. Since I use my portable shop vac on a daily basis, I went back to Home Depot and purchased a smaller corded shop vac for $39.95 (Not a Ridgid) just so I could have something I could use since I have no idea as to when, or how Ridgid will handle my warranty claim. I have purchased many Ridgid tools (drills, shop vacs, sanders, portable saws, and even a table saw), and most all of those purchases were made with the "Lifetime Warranty" in mind. However, when I make my future tool purchases, the lifetime warranty will no longer affect my decision as to which brand to purchase. In my opinion, if a Ridgid tool breaks, you should be able to take it to a local Home Depot to have the issue resolved. The store can ship products to their repair facilities a lot cheaper than a customer can ship it themselves. I sincerely hope that Home Depot will make changes to their current policy regarding the servicing of warranty claims.

                          Hello Horace B, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you've experienced with your RIDGID wet/dry vac. We want to assure you that what happened is not typical of our products. Our wet/dry vacs come with a full lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and material, rather than a 3-year warranty. Please note that this warranty does not cover failures due to misuse, abuse, or normal wear and tear. Regarding the warranty process, our photo inspection typically takes 1 to 2 weeks once we receive the correct and complete photos from you. If you have questions or 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. Thanks, RIDGID Ridgid

                            Since being introduced to 18 volt Ridgid Tools 8-10 years ago by a Home Depot employee, I have exclusively bought them because of their LIFETIME WARRANTY, the only one among all the competition ... and that warranty even INCLUDES THEIR BATTERIES! I have a big modular plastic toolbox that is so FILLED with 18volt Ridgid Tools that I just had to buy another last week after buying two more, a Ridgid Jig Saw and a Ridgid Oscillating Tool. My name is Bill and I confess: I am addicted to Ridgid Tools. These Lithium batteries hold a charge better than any batteries I have ever had, bar none. What more could you ask for?

                            Well-Designed, Versatile, Easy-To-Use
                            My review will focus on the DESIGN of RIDGID 3 Gallon Cordless Wet/Dry Vac. First, it is cordless and compact. It fits nicely under my workbench, unlike my previous corded, which also was a bit cumbersome. Second, the hose stores efficiently, unlike most corded. Third, I can quickly grab it and get the job done. I will admit, though, for larger jobs a corded Vac would be better; but this compact, cordless Vac is well-designed and serves it purpose, plus a solid brand.

                              Great portable & powerful vac
                              I've been looking at cordless portable shop vacs for a while. I have many projects around the house where I don't have space for a regular size shop vac. Fist off, I like the fact that a 4 ah battery comes with this unit. I have a stick vac that came with a 2 ah battery and they only last a few minutes. One of the best features of this portable vac is the SWEEP inlet port. This allows you to have the vac sitting on the floor or workbench and just push the debris to the port. You don't need to carry the unit to around. The hose is very short. The unit is pretty light. It is just like carrying around a tool box. The onboard storage compartment to carry the wands is nice. They are easy to access. The battery compartment is at a convenient location. Overall, it does not hold a lot of material but for quick cleanup jobs, its easy to pull out. Its also convenient for cleaning automobiles and powerful enough to lift the dirt from the carpets. The filter is about the same size as a 5 gallon vac. The filter does take up a lot of room within the cavity. Overall I am happy with this product.

                              Wonderful concept and it works well
                              I have been pleasantly surprised by this portable vacuum. I loved the concept of a cordless shop vac, as there are many instances where porting the traditional vac is cumbersome and difficult to plug in (cleaning a car, using outdoors, etc.). This unit is also light and easy to carry yet has excellent suction. This unit uses the same 4 Ah batteries that I use for several other Ridgid tools I use regularly. I do like the added feature of a sweeper function where the vac serves as a dustpan, you put it on the ground and sweep debris into the suction area.

                              Cordless vacuum is easier to use than a corded vac; backed by a lifetime warranty when registered with Ridgid
                              The Ridgid 3 gallon cordless wet/dry vacuum is so much easier to use than its corded counterparts. When we are working on a renovation project, we keep the areas clean as we move through them. In the past, that meant pulling the corded shop vacuum across the floor while the wheels didn't fully cooperate. This vacuum also eliminates the hassle of moving the plug from one outlet to the next. It is light enough to carry and hold while you vacuum. The Ridgid vacuum has a 6 foot hose so you can reach places without even moving the unit. The suction is adequate as compared with the corded vac's suction. The sweep function allows you to place the unit over your debris and it will pick it up. You can also use a broom to sweep it into the integrated, suction-powered dustpan. The crevice tool and dusting brush attachments are tucked away into a compartment until you need them. The blower feature makes this a versatile addition to your workshop or garage. Our unit came with the 18-volt 4.0 Ah battery and charger. The battery life is displayed on the battery when you press a button. We plan to purchase more Ridgid cordless tools now that we have the battery and charger. You can register your Ridgid vacuum and battery on the Ridgid website 90 days after purchase to take advantage of the lifetime warranty.
