About This Product

The RIDGID 16 Gal. 5.0 Peak Horsepower Wet Dry Shop Vacuum is for large, heavy-duty projects and offers maximum capacity while resisting dents, rust, and corrosion. This vac includes shop vac attachments to customize to the job – 2 extension wands to extend reach and utility nozzle to clean large areas. These attachments are 2-1/2 in. diameter and features locking technology for a snug fit while cleaning. Onboard storage provides spots for the 20 ft. cord and the included attachments while the comfort grip handles help carry drum for easy lifting. Also, this wet dry vacuum can quickly transform into a blower by using the hose in the blower port – perfect for removing leaves and other outdoor material from walkways, porches, and decks. When picking up waterborne debris, the built-in drain at the bottom easily dispels the liquid so no lifting the filled vac. Included wet dry vac general debris filter (VF4000) captures general dirt. Pro Tip: Add a replacement RIDGID wet dry vacuum filter (VF4000, VF5000, VF6000, VF7000 or VF8000; sold separately) to a RIDGID shop vac to maintain the power of the vac and extend vacuum life. Add a dust collection bag (VF3502, VF3602, VF3702 sold separately) to help with quick cleanup and disposal.

            Answer This Question

            You use the filter you have. When it sounds like your vacuum is getting clogged, take the filter outside and blow it out using a compressor , reuse over and over. I always have 2 filters

              Hello HomeDepot Customer, Thank you for your question. Yes, you can. However, for fine dust, we suggest purchasing the VF6000 or VF8000 HEPA filter for optimal performance. These filters are also available at your local Home Depot stores or online at https://www.homedepot.com/ For any other questions, 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.

                      Excellent shop vac for woodworking
                      I use this for a dust collection system with a 5 gallon bucket with a cyclone dust collection system attached to the top of it. I've attached it to a bench top planer and it cleans 90% of the chips produced, which is more than what I expected it to do. The only problem that I hear is how loud it is. I'm usually wearing ear protection anyways for the other tools so I'm don't mind it but others would probably find it less desirable. I know RIGID sells a diffuser but I'm not sure how well it works.

                        Perfect Wet/Dry Vac
                        I purchased this vac yesterday to help us get gallons of rain water that accumulated in the tarp covering our temporary goats’ pen. The water was so heavy it made the tarp hang down so low in the pen we could not open the gate to get in to feed the mama and two babies or let them out. My son turned this vac on and it literally filled the bucket within seconds. The job was completed in minutes. This vac is amazing. We are so glad we purchased it. It’s excellent, and our goats are happy again.

                            Ridgid Vacuums #1
                            The vacuum is in addition to my 20 year old model that doesn't allow internal bags to catch the mess and keep the filter clean. This vacuum along with the added 13 foot hose reaches all of my woodworking tools and can vacuum the whole area without moving the vacuum. Even with 20 feet of hose it still has GREAT suction!

                              Bought new and was used already
                              I opened the box and the vacuum apparently had been repackaged after someone had already used it. The filter is clogged and the base still had saw dust inside. Ridiculous

                                This is a big capacity vacuum
                                The first thing I noticed when unpacking the box is just how much larger this vacuum is compared to my old vacuum - see pictures. It is very powerful as well, both vacuuming and blowing. There is some minor assembly required in attaching the wheels and carry handle, but the instructions are excellent and it takes only a few minutes to be up and running.

                                This thing really sucks. :)
                                I received the Ridgid NXT 16 gallon wet/dry vacuum this past week. Some minor assembly is required. Legs,casters and hose handle/ cord wrap. As with most the casters are small and work well when on concrete and not so well on rough surfaces like my asphalt driveway. So the only thing I can compare this to is my other vacs. Both which were obtained for cheap money during Black Friday sales. Well this one is hands down better . The suction is amazing. The cord is longer they say it's seven feet in the product description. I think it is slightly longer. But I didn't measure it. The hose connections are locking which makes a world of difference. The only downside is done think they will work with older non locking accessories. Speaking of accessories the hose is better than the hard plastic ones in years past but it is still not the greatest. The five you to pieces of hard pipe and one floor tool. It has a drain for use with sucking up liquid. The outlet also can be used as a blower. Features that the cheap one did not have.

                                Powerful
                                When I had to move from my house to a small apartment, I got rid of a ton of stuff that I regret now. One was my big shop vac. Now that I'm back into another house, I really missed it, so I was glad to finally get another one to clear leaves that find their way onto my patio. I only spent about 5 or 10 minutes out there because it's, like, 1000° outside, but that's all I needed to do a decent job. First, I used the blower to clear everything over to the wall, and then I switch to the vacuum to pick it all up. One of the great features for doing this is the hose and accessories snap on with a clip. With both vacs I had before you have to screw and unscrew and screw to move it back and forth. The suction was powerful enough to pick up a couple of small rocks when the hose was about 5 inches away. It made quick work for the short amount of time I was out there. What I didn't like, and this is on me, was aside from the hose and extenders it only came with ONE accessory nozzle. What kind of wet/dry vac doesn't come with a squeegee or dust brush? But I do know they are available, and there are places onboard the machine to store them, but I was just a little disappointed in that. The cord could be longer, too. Buyer beware.
