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.

Add a RIDGID dust bag (VF3501; sold separately) to the shop vacuum to help keep the wet/dry vac drum clean and for quick pickups.

Q:After you use it for wet vac do you leave top off so filter can dry
by|Jun 5, 2023
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  I would recommend doing so to reduce mold and rust buildup.

by|Jun 6, 2023

    A:  Hello Debo, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. Yes, you can do that to let the filter air dry. Keep in mind you can only use the pleated paper filter for small amounts of liquid pickup. For large amounts, that filter must be removed or you can buy the wet foam filter VF3700. 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 and we'll be glad to assist you. Thanks, RIDGID

        Q:Vac just blows and won't suck. Could I need a new power switch?

        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello JR0000, We’re sorry to have learned about your issue. During operation, the vac is supposed to suck in air and blow out at the same time. Did you connect the hose to the suction port located on the orange drum? Is it still not sucking even if you disconnect the hose? In order for us to assist you, 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 send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com.

              Really versatile little shop vac
              When our old Hoover rug shampooer died and parts were no longer available I needed something to clean up after pet "accidents". I wanted something more portable and with more suction. This vacuum met those needs and more. It's so much lighter and easier to carry to the scene of the crime. I bought an extractor head so I could see my progress and when I had all of the liquids removed. It also saves me having to haul down the 16g shop vac for smaller projects. Should have bought it sooner.

                Big Step Up in Power, Easy to Pull Along
                Used a cordless Ridgid vac for some time but found a need for extra power when vacuuming up debris from large areas using the extension wands. Purchased this unit after comparing against the Pro Pack. Slightly more CFM on this unit and the wheels are something I didn't think I would use but now am very happy to have. The extra connections are a useful addition. Happy to have taken the corded plunge for the extra power and ease of pulling the unit along.

                  Great equipment for the job!
                  I bought the ridgid wd4070 and vt2534 last month. I’m planning to use this for auto detailing. The vacuum is very easy to use, portable and powerful. So far i been using it as our home vacuum and it was excellent. Dimensions is just enough for me so i can easily maneuver around. I add a detailing kit for more detailed jobs. Also i like the longer flexible hose.

                  Why no way to store attachments or wrap cord?
                  completely made in a mold out of plastic and yet there's no place to wrap the cord, there's no place to really store the attachments and oh by the way when I bought this completely sealed and got it home it had none of the attachments

                  Hello Paul,

                  We’re extremely sorry for the inconvenience. The power cord of the vacuum can be wrapped around the handle of the vacuum when put on storage and the accessories should go into the accessory storage bin of the vacuum on the back of the drum of the vacuum. We would like to know more about the attachement you didn't receive in order for us to fix the matter. Please contact our 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 in order for us to assist you further about the attachment you didnt receive.

                    Tug-A-Long Hose
                    The 7 foot Hose kinked from the first use. Now, everytime I use it, it folds over at kink and I always have to adjust the vacuum so it straightens out. The kink weakened the hose.
