Product Details

Take on projects confidently with the 16 gallon RIDGID wet/dry shop vacuum with detachable blower featuring a specialized accessory kit for more cleaning options. The RIDGID locking attachments (DUAL-FLEX hose, wet nozzle, utility nozzle, car nozzle, blower wand and extension wands) included with this 16 gallon wet/dry shop vac with detachable blower boasts 2 tools in 1 - shop vacuum and leaf blower. The 2 extension wands extends the overall reach for hard-to-get-to places, the locking hose with DUAL-FLEX offers uninterrupted cleaning through its unique locking technology and the utility nozzle is perfect for cleaning up large areas. When you need more intricate cleaning options for smaller areas, the car nozzle will do the job while the blower wand directs a powerstream while attached to the leaf blower tool. Wet mess, No problem. The wet nozzle attachment is designed to squeegee liquid cleanups so you can handle your next project with ease.

As an additional bonus, this Vac includes 2 dust bags that are perfect to contain dirt and debris and encourage quick cleanup. Just remove the bag from the drum and dispose.

Q:What is considered misuse? Or what would someone using it not to do while using not be covered by the warranty
by|Nov 4, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hello Gsp1, Thank you for reaching out to us regarding our product. We appreciate your interest and want to ensure that you have all the necessary information to use our product safely and effectively. One common misuse is attempting to use the vacuum for dry pickups without the filter installed or with a damaged filter. This can lead to poor performance and potential damage to the vacuum itself. Additionally, it is crucial to note that our vacuum should not be used for picking up toxic, flammable, or hazardous materials. Doing so can pose serious health risks and may also damage the vacuum. If you have any further questions or concerns about the proper use of our product, we encourage you to contact our dedicated Customer Service team at 1-800-474-3443. We are available from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time and will be more than happy to assist you. Alternatively, you can also reach out via email at info@ridgidvacs.com. Best regards, RIDGID

        Q:Can you use as a hepa vac
        by|Oct 6, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello Todd, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. You can you use VF6500 OSHA Compatible Kit for this model. The HEPA-level filtration is achieved when the VF6000 HEPA material filter and VF3602 cyclonic dust bag are installed together. However, it will not make the vacuum a HEPA vac. If you have additional questions 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. Thanks, RIDGID

          Acorn Removal from Lawn
          It does great for sucking up acorns. My lawn is a little longer than usual when I tried this as well. Maybe 3”.

              Checks all the boxes.
              16 gal, mainly because of the shape, they roll better and have a good capacity. But in addition to those requirements, I looked for a 20' cord, and locking hose connections - check. A couple of bonus items, The ON/OFF switch is well positioned - right where your thumb hits it when grabbing the handle. Finally, there is a nice clamp to help hold the hose in place when not in use. The vac has good suction and is not too loud. Includes a nice set of hoses and attachements.

                Dont buy this style!
                Needed a vaccum because mine broke, bout this one. Its terrible, has the motor as the blower. I should have bought the one without the blower. This design is crap. My Dewalt was 100x better. Cant wait til this breaks so i can but a vaccum that works. Dont but this style.

                Amazing how this wet/dry vac works. I purchased to clean a Wendy’s post tile renovation and it worked great. I couldn’t have done it without this wet/dry vac. Thanks so much for this awesome product!

                Why are the wheels so small?
                I like that the hose is strong enough to pull the vacuum however the wheels are so small that they can't even roll over their own cord. Also the lid has two clasps but they only work in one position so you have to put it on the same way every time. It would be nice if they designed it so it doesn't matter which way you put the top on.

                      Malfunction and fire inside electric motor
                      Product  almost  burned  down my atelier and house. The product stopped working after a small fire.  I turned it off, waited for it to cool down and disassemble the product.  I thought it was wood dust that might have come into contact with some poorly insulated connection, but that is not what happened. I am product designer and mechanic  engineer. That vaccum  should be removed from the shelves.  As shown in the photos, the axis of rotation comes into contact with the plastic support of the coil, probably assembly error,  or poor design, and create friction ,in the worst case, as in my case, it burns the paper that insulates the coil from the metal casing.

                        Dangerous
                        Product is dangerous. plastic part that covers the coil comes into contact with the rotor. the excess heat melts the plastic part and can start a small fire in the paper that protects the coil. The smell of melting plastic is a malfunction alert.
