The 3 extension wands extend 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. The included 4 Gal. RIDGID shop vac is a small, lightweight vac that packs a punch with amped-up power and performance on the inside and a modern look on the outside. This wet dry vacuum has a 5.0 peak horsepower motor that can tackle even the messiest projects.

Q:om model 4514 do you leave the filter on when using as a wet vac
by|Oct 6, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hello Mark, Thank you for reaching out about our product. For small amounts of liquid pickup, feel free to keep the original filter in place. However, when dealing with larger quantities of liquid, it's important to remove the filter. Neglecting this step may lead to the filter becoming saturated and misting appearing in the exhaust port. If you anticipate handling more liquid pickups and would like to further protect the motor, we recommend considering the VF3700 wet foam filter as an additional option. This filter is available at Home Depot stores or online at homedepot.com and store.ridgid.com. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-474-3443. We are available Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time. Alternatively, you can also reach out via email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we will be more than happy to assist you promptly. Thank you for considering RIDGID products. We look forward to helping you with your needs. Best regards, RIDGID Customer Support

    Q:Can the dust filter be used for wet vacuum use?
    by|Sep 27, 2024

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello Meatball, Thank you for reaching out. When picking up small amounts of liquid (2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm) of liquid in the bottom of the drum), the filter may be left in place. When picking up larger amounts of liquid (more than 4 inches (10 cm) of liquid in the bottom of the drum) we recommend that the filter be removed or use the wet foam filter VF3700. If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated, and misting may appear in the exhaust. When this happens, take the filter out and let it dry before reinstalling. Note that when picking up large volumes of liquids, the liquid in the drum may reach a predetermined level and the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut-off airflow. This occurs to avoid liquids from entering the power head. When this happens, turn off the vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. Before storage, the filter must be dried to avoid possible mildew and damage to the filter. We recommend that you clean the filter and then let the filter air dry overnight. Make sure that after each cleaning, you check the filter for holes or tears. You will need to replace your filter if it has any damage. Please remember to never leave your wet /dry vac running unattended and to always use your wet/dry vac in accordance with the owner’s manual. If you have further questions or concerns, you may call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com. Thank you, RIDGID

        Q:Does ALL of the vacuumed air exit via the exhaust port (as opposed to some of it passing over the motor to cool it, and then exiting out the top of the unit)? I want to vent the exhaust to outside, so any dust/mold/fumes that pass the filter will go out.
        by|Sep 23, 2024
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello Richard, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. Yes, the air drawn into the vacuum suction inlet exists out of the exhaust port. The air movement observed at the vents on the top of the units is specifically for cooling the motor. This airflow is entirely separate from the flow path for debris pickup and exhaust. Additionally, if you plan to clean up substances such as lead, concrete dust, crystalline silica dust, or other aggressive materials, please make sure to consult any applicable regulations regarding those substances to ensure safe and compliant usage. If you have any other 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. Thanks, RIDGID

          My favorite shop vac!
          I’ve had this shop vac for over two years and have loved using it. It’s insanely easy to clean and roll around. It’s also light enough to easily carry. The cord wraps around for storage and the hose can be easily wrapped also, but doesn’t store as well. The attachments fit in the back “pocket” and stay put for the most part. We use this for cleaning up projects around the house and for cleaning the cars. These vacuums are built for a lifetime.

            My FAVORITE Shop Vac
            This shop vac exceeds my expectations and I expect a lot from Ridgid vacs because they are all excellent. The wheels work incredibly well so this is so easy to maneuver. The storage for accessories is excellent and this unit is plenty powerful for cleaning cars or picking up after home projects. This is the go-to for my wife and I and this is despite us having other vacuums. The warranty is also top notch! I've had the unit for almost 2 years.

              Best small shopvacs!
              I bought this vaccum in 2016 and used it almost daily as a professional renovator/builder. It served me very well. I only use 1 1/4" shopvac hoses and accessories with my vac. Find the hoses much more flexible and the smaller accessories fit perfectly in the back of the vaccum. I always use bags in the vaccum but I buy them from Amazon as I get 12 bags for 30 bucks. After they are full I pull the bag and empty it then fold it once then tape the end up with red or blue tuck tape so no dust gets out. I do this technique once to each end of the bag so I can get 3 full bags from 1 bag. So after 8 years of hard daily use the motor finally started to make a very high pitched noise, so I am writing this review after buying a new wd4070 to replace the old one. Hope it does me just as well, these vaccums are made to last@

                I love this product! My sunroof drains were leaking into my car and I had water sloshing around the floor under the carpeting, I purchased this wet dry vac to hopefully get rid of the water in my car and it did an excellent job of that. If it picks up dirt as well as it did the water I will be very happy. I have not tried that aspect yet I’m too busy trying to get the water out right now! The suction was excellent. I couldn’t believe how strong the suction was. I would recommend this product to anyone. I just wish they would make the crevice tool a little bit longer because I had a hard time fitting it in between the seat and the side door to get the water from there it wasn’t quite long enough.

                A 4 Gal Workhorse Indeed [WD4070]
                I picked up the Rigid WD4070 (4 gal w/d) when I had to install a new cooler and do some roof repairs as well. It performed like a tank, sucking debris, cleaning site, cleaning the ductwork. Every task I threw at it, it nailed it. Perfect size - not too big to get up to the roof, and small enough to set on top of a perch to do a great job cleaning out the duct when forcing air from roof with a yard blower. Since, I've used it around the house, to clean the vehicles, and clean up from some woodworking. A great little shop vac that really punches above its class.

                  The best
                  This has been the best go to wet/ dry vac . To cleaning the car to sucking water out of toilet tank to replace toilet and to blowing up an air mattress. Can’t say enough!!

                    Sucks a bunch!
                    I have been using the 4 gal vacuum with sanders and a battery powered planner. I am trying to finish new doors for my house and the honey do list keeps adding to my already long list of chores. Luckily, vacuuming up wood shavings from the handheld planner and the sanders isn't apart of that list. I do wish that I could find vacuum adapters so I would have to hold the hose onto the tool while working.

                    Perfect Applications!
                    This is the fifth one that I have purchased. I bought three for my business in Ft. Lauderdale, and gave one to my flooring specialist. I also purchased one for my personal use. My condo's flooring is primarily vinyl, and the expensive vacuum I purchased, could not compete with the performance of my RIDGID wet/dry vacuum. I also bought the nozzle with a light.
