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.

Does this charger work with the newer EXP batteries and the MAX OUTPUT batteries as well?
Hello, Batteries - Yes, you can charge all RIDGID 18V batteries, including EXP and MAX Output, on this charger. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone at 1.866.539.1710, Monday - Friday from 9am to 6pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://register.ridgidpower.com/contact. This question is from RIDGID 18V Lithium-Ion Charger (AC86093N).
What is the average battery operating life when using the Max Output battery? And then when using the EXP battery? Thanks!
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.
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. Thanks, RIDGID
Will Rigid consider making a 3 gallon vacuum that is hybrid like their shop fan that is both battery powered with option of electrical connection.
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.
That is exactly what I’d like to see as well! Ridgid please consider making a hybrid vacuum in the 3 gal size
Hello OMRMO, Thanks for reaching out. We are always innovating our products to adapt to our customers needs however we currently do not offer any hybrid vacuums in our product line.

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.
