          ByNov 22, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hello Heather, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. This model comes originally with VF5000 fine dust filter. If you wish to use a HEPA filter, the VF6000 and VF8000 HEPA filters are available for purchase separately. However, the VF8000 is currently unavailable at the moment. We understand this may cause some inconvenience and sincerely appreciate your patience. In the meantime, we recommend VF6000 or VF6500 kit which allow you to pick up 99% of all particles 1/2 micron and larger. Please feel free to check back periodically or visit our website at store.ridgid.com or Home Depot at homedepot.com for the latest updates on availability.

                    Hi Jim, Thank you for reaching out. We understand the disappointment that your vacuum was not covered by warranty—debris in the motor/blower wheel, it is an indication that the vac had been run without a filter, or with a damaged filter, which is a violation of the proper usage of the vacuum. For example, if debris were to become lodged in the blower wheel, it will cause the motor to be out-of-balance and possibly damage the vac. If you please call our friendly Customer Service team from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time. You can reach us at 1-800-474-3443. Alternatively, feel free to send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we'll be more than happy to help.

                      Burning Smell from Shop-Vac & "Lifetime" Warranty
                      My wet-vac was lightly used since purchasing it in 2023. During a recent use a strong burning smell filled the room. When I tried the shop-vac in another location/outlet I got the same burning smell. I contacted Rigid to make a warranty claim and subsequently answered tall of their questions and provided requested photos. Without any further visual inspection, I received an email that they would not honor their "lifetime" warranty because a photo showed a small amount of dust visible, which they claimed is in the blower wheel and is the cause of the failure. The fact that they came to this conclusion solely from a photo is absurd. I was mistaken to think Rigid would have better products and customer care than cheaper alternatives. Since their "lifetime" warranty is worthless to me, I'll go with the alternatives brands in the future.

                      Hello JG,

                      Thank you for your feedback and we fully understand your disappointment about the warranty inspection results.

                      Debris in the blower wheel, it is an indication that the vac had been run without a filter, or with a damaged filter, which is a violation of the proper usage of the vacuum. For example, if debris were to become lodged in the blower wheel, it will cause the motor to be out-of-balance and possibly damage the vac. Because the failure of the vac was caused by its misuse and/or abuse in violation of the owner’s manual and was not due to a defect in workmanship or material, we respectfully decline warranty coverage.

                      Again, we understand the disappointment about the results of the warranty inspection but please understand that debris in the blower wheel is a misuse situation.

                      If you have questions or concerns, 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.

                        I upgraded from a 12 gal 5.0 peak HP vacuum and can tell a difference with this unit. The NXT system is awesome, I love the attachments. 14 gallons is a good side for cleaning up water and for woodworking, etc. It’s not too large and rolls around easily. It’s as loud as other shop vacs. I have had this for around a month and would recommend to anyone.

                            Online order arrived with a 1-layer filter
                            Placed an online order in early March 2022. The box arrived with a sticker claiming that the 3-layer filter (blue fine dust) had been removed. A 1-layer filter and dust bag were included. Opened the package and found a dirty vacuum with a crushed 1-layer filter. As of 3/8/22, HD advertising on website that this includes the 3-layer filter. I specifically bought this model because I am working with fine dust. False advertisement. Will be returning to store for a refund.

                            Hi Lotoro,

                            Thanks for the time to write us a review and we're sorry to hear about this. The HD1400 product we are selling presently comes with the standard white filter, VF4000. This is a temporary component change due to COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) mask support. We are temporarily replacing the 3-Layer filter (VF5000) component. Due to raw materials that are normally used in our production of the 3-Layer Fine Dust filter component (VF5000) being redirected for PPE mask manufacturing support, we are unable to provide the filter previously included with this product. We are providing customers with a 1-Layer Filter (VF4000) component and a dust collection bag. Please note the dust collection bag was not typically included with this purchase. The standard filter and dust bag, that have temporarily been provided in the vacuum purchase, will provide a comparable level of filtration when used together. The dust bag will also allow users to capture and dispose of debris. On the other hand, please 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 with the damaged filter. Kindly provide both model and serial number when you call.

                              In this case, the fact that it sucks is a VERY good thing because it's an incredibly powerful vacuum! I just got it and have already used it to clear a dryer duct of built-up lint and clean up ashes from my pellet grill! This will handle A LOT of jobs!
