Product Details

The RIDGID 12 Gal. 5.0 Peak Horsepower NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum was built for pros ready to take their projects to the next level. This vac comes with a 7 ft. hose, general debris filter, wet nozzle, utility nozzle, car nozzle, and 2 extension wands. With more power, enhanced durability and an advanced design specifically engineered for the pro user, this high-performance vacuum is part of the most powerful line of wet dry vacs RIDGID has ever made. Its redesigned scroll technology gives the shop vac an increase in power, suction, and lift. The 12 Gal. NXT vac includes 2-1/2 in. locking accessories that locks onto a wand or hose for uninterrupted cleaning and the 2-1/2 in. diameter size resists clogs. Hose storage keeps the hose neatly onboard and accessory storage space at the top of each caster gives quick access to attachments. 2 locking extension wands extend reach while the utility nozzle cleans larger areas. Use the wet nozzle for liquid spills while the car nozzle is perfecting for detailed cleaning. The blower port adds versatility and allows you to use hose to blow leaves, grass clippings and more. This vac features our patented Qwik Lock Filter that makes installing or removing your filter quick, easy, and secure. Pro Tip: Add a RIDGID shop vac filter (sold separately) to a RIDGID shop vac to maintain the power of the vac and extend vacuum life and a dust collection bag (sold separately) to help with quick cleanup and disposal.
  • Includes RIDGID 12 Gallon 5.0 Peak Horsepower NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum - best for tough, moderate-sized wet or dry cleanups
  • Includes 2-1/2 in. x 7 ft. Tug-A-Long, DUAL-FLEX locking hose, 2 extension wands, utility nozzle, wet nozzle, and car nozzle
  • Shop vac locking accessories lock onto the wand and hose to create a secure attachment from drum to hose to tool for uninterrupted cleanup
  • Filtration includes the general debris filter (VF4000) for capturing general dirt and the Qwik Lock filter snaps on or off the wet/dry shop vac for easy cleaning
  • Drum keying ensures the motor cover is correctly oriented to create optimal airflow
  • 7 ft. Tug-A-Long Hose has a locking connection that won't pull loose during use and DUAL-FLEX hose feature gives 180-degree mobility at both hose ends and resists collapsing
  • 2-1/2 in. diameter accessory size is optimal size to resist clogging and makes cleaning large messes quick and easy
  • Extension wands extends reach, the utility nozzle cleans larger areas and the car nozzle cleans smaller spaces - for wet messes use the wet nozzle and dispose of liquid with built-in vac drain
  • Ergonomic front-to-back top carry handle, as well as the side carry handle, allows for a better grip when maneuvering around the jobsite or workstation
  • The lid latches tightly to the vac's drum, improving suction loss and convenience while carrying the wet/dry shop vac
  • Onboard accessory storage on caster feet keeps attachments secured and right at hand, top handle doubles as a cord wrap for stowing 15 ft. power cord and hose storage keeps hose secure while transporting
  • 4 swivel casters on bottom of vac provide 360-degree rotation for easy movement from room-to-room or jobsite-to-jobsite and the large power switch allows for easy on/off activation

      Vacuum Packed!
      My project was removing 1200 sq ft of badly matted, batt covered blown fiberglass insulation. The perfect mix of size, weight, power, intake size, filtering, and ease of use are all incorporated into this one! My project took about three days of steady work to complete and I was totally impressed. The 2.5” intake gobbled up the blown fiberglass and the powerful 5HP motor packed the tank every time along with a steady stream of clean air discharge through the the no-clog HEPA filter. Packed!

        Great suction
        I needed to replace a 30 year old shop vac that died. I am working sanding the plaster while finishing up the drywall in my garage. I use a water filter (as shown in the photo) to reduce the amount of dust that makes it to the vacuum. This vacuum has so much suction the sanding block will stick to the wall when it is on. (As shown in the photo.) The noise is about the same as my old vacuum. Super happy with this product.

            Still works like new after 20 years!
            Have used it to clean the basement and garage mostly. But when the clothes washer burst the water line it saved having to replace the laundry room floor. Still working after 20 years of use.

              RIDGID 12 Gallon 5.0 Peak Wet Dry Shop Vacuum.
              This is a great wet / dry shop vacuum. It has a lot of suction power and picks up dirt fast. The price was fair at $100 and it has a life time warranty if something goes wrong with this Vacuum. The Home Depot Customer services was excellent as well at the Home Depot in North Charleston, SC . If anyone looking for a good Vacuum to Vacuum out their vehicles or at home use, this is definitely a 5 star product.

                High quality product
                As a person who never used a wet/dry vac, I found it easy to use and it did a great job every time getting up the water. The instructions was a little confusing but the vac performs well. It is not noisy, quieter than the vacuum the cleaners use. Very satisfied with the purchase.

                No hoses, wheels or handle.
                I'm returning this product and buying from any other hardware store in the future. Very disappointed when the shop vac arrived. It was poorly repackaged and missing vital components rendering it unusable. Do not order.

                  I loved this so much for my store, I bought another for my home studio. It sucks. In a good way. It comes with a variety of useful tools and a long hose. It’s the best one I’ve bought over the years.
