10 Gal. 6.0-Peak HP Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum with Filter, Hose and Accessories

Need a handle . Rest of the vacum work perfect i give A1

Easy to set up. I combined it with the Dustopper to keep my work shop cleaner. Works great!

I received the vacuum in a non-damaged box but when I opened the box, I saw that the power cord was not installed correctly (see picture) and when I started assembling the vacuum, I realized that the hose was not in the box. I called Ridgid support and they didn't sound very surprised by my issues. They are going to send me a hose in 5 to 7 days. Bottom line, considering these basic issues that should have been caught by the most basic quality control, I'm not very confident on how well this vacuum will work/last. Note that this may explain why they provide a lifetime warranty.

Purchased this to replace an old craftsman shop vac that has treated me well over the years. This is my first Rigid power tool however I've used them in the past for work. The warranty program and the stainless steel is what really drew me to choosing this model. I plan to use it as my CNC vacuum once it's up and running but for now it's just used for miscellaneous cleanups around the garage. I still need to make a cyclone dust separator to get the most out of the filter. It's been able to pick up any wood/metal projects I've thrown at it so far. I can't speak to cleaning up liquids since I don't plan on ever using it for that. The packaging of this unit is really well designed. You shouldn't have any concerns ordering this online and I really wouldn't expect any shipping damage to occur from drops/bumps along the way. The attachments that come with it are pretty standard. The fittings all work as expected,, there is enough variation to meet most of your needs. The hose is a great size for basic use but if it sits in any mounted position you might want to grab some extensions. I wouldn't recommend removing the lid clasps from the steel drum and if you do make sure to use a MANUAL screw driver and not a drill. The screw bosses on them are really only designed for a few installations and removals and can be easy to strip out however that is pretty standard for thread cutting plastic screws. The plastic parts on this are really well designed, I tend to take most of the things I buy apart for design inspiration. As an engineer I know we sometimes scan websites for feedback so props to whoever designed these parts if you are looking at this. We will see how this holds up but I'm pretty impressed so far. If I had to make a decision about it now, I would buy it again and recommend to family/friends.

Bought this to cleanup dog hair in the basement (where dog is most of the time) and construction debris from any projects i work on in the garage. I bought the upgraded hepa filter to vacuum the basement since dried concrete from the new house had alot of dust and debris. It has good suction, blower function and decent push force (leaves, dust, etc), but as others mentioned the motor is really loud so if in an enclosed space or using for more than 2 min I have to put ear protection. House is about 2-3 inches in diameter and can suck pretty big pieces but the down fall is that it wont suck a little tiny area very well without the crevice attachment. Bought the soft bristle attachment for wood floors and does mediocre job. I’ll eventually buy a central vac for the rest of the house and use this for garage/basement/car cleaning.

It's got power!!! I needed to clean my basement, so I decided to try out the RIGID 10 Gallon 6.0-Peak Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Shop Vac. I knew that my little Shark vac was not going to do the trick. Therefore, I thought that $94 was not a bad price...so I took a chance. It worked wonders. It picked up the dust, webs, and dead bugs that had been there for a while. The filter did not allow any dust out as well, so it kept all the filth in the canister. A little trick to make sure that dust never becomes an issue... Before vacuuming, add about 3-4 inches of water, add a little bleach, and a little bit of fabric softener. It will help prevent any dust from coming out, and it will let out a clean scent, instead of a dirty scent that would come out if it either way. The only drawback is the fact that the hose is bulky and at times sometimes hard to maneuver. With that said, it's not the biggest deal. Lastly, the attachments fall off easily, so that would be something to improved upon. With that said, I would recommend anyone this item who is looking for a shop vac for a big job. You will not go wrong with this vac.

I purchased this vac based on it's foot print. It isn't bulky like so may other vacs are. So far both of them have preformed very well.

Good strong vacuum does the job in my shop.

I just picked this Vac up to replace my solid and reliable 15 yr old bulky 16 gal., 6 hp RIGID Vac...I won't be getting rid of the 16 gal. just yet. Although the suction power seems on par with my older vac, the noise level is almost deafening in comparison. The power unit/lid makes a poor seel with the canister, lots of play, hoping the vacuum draw helps keep it tight and dirt/dust contained. Also, the locking snap handles for the lid are of a poor, flimsy design making me think that they will be replaced several times over the life of this vac...as long as they continue to be available for many years under RIGID's "lifetime warranty" program. I'm on the fence as to whether this is a good buy or not, considering that something so minor as a poorly designed locking handle can render this machine a big paper weight.

I really love this shop vac. It is just the right size. Not to big and not to small. I have an older 16 gallon 6.5hp shop vac and this little gem out preforms it. It fits just perfect in the miter saw station I built. I have it connected with the miter saw so it turns on when I start the saw and will remain running for 7 seconds after the saw stops. This vac is worth every penny you pay.
