About This Product

Take on projects confidently with the RIDGID 6 Gallon NXT Wet Dry Vacuum featuring a specialized RIDGID shop vacuum accessory kit for more detailed cleaning. The RIDGID attachments (DUAL-FLEX hose, extension wands and utility nozzle) included with this compact 6 gallon RIDGID wet dry vacuum provides a more customized and efficient cleanup. 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. The included 6 gallon RIDGID wet dry 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 vac has a 3.5 peak HP motor that is great for every cleanup of small-volume dirt and debris. The wet dry vacuum was designed for portability and easy lifting with an ergonomic front-to-back top carry handle and comfort grip drum carry handles. The blower port also allows the shop vacuum to double as a blower for leaves, grass clippings and more. Pro Tip: Add a RIDGID wet dry vac filter (VF4000, VF5000, VF6000, VF7000 or VF8000; sold separately) to a RIDGID wet dry vacuum to maintain the power of the vac and extend vacuum life. Add a RIDGID dust bag (VF3501 - sold separately) to the shop vacuum to help keep the wet dry vacuum drum clean and for quick pickups.

      Can I run this off of my DeWalt 1000 watt car battery inverter?
      ByOct 26, 2025
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Hello Patrick, Thank you for your interest in our product. Please note that while this model is rated at 900 watts, the vacuum requires approximately three times that amount in starting watts to power up the motor. So, a DeWalt 1000-watt car battery inverter would not provide sufficient power to operate this vacuum. If you have questions or concerns, you may call us 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.

        How much watts does it take to run

        Answer This Question

        Hello HomeDepot Customer, Thank you for your inquiry! The motor wattage for the HD06001 is rated at 900 watts. However, the vacuum requires triple the running watts to start up the motor of the vacuum. If you have questions or concerns, you may call us 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.

          Can you use it for drywall dust
          ByOct 4, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hello Mack777, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. Yes, the HD06001 wet/dry vac is suitable for drywall dust cleanup. To get the best performance, we recommend upgrading the standard filter to our VF6000 5-layer HEPA media filter—it’s designed to capture fine particles like drywall dust more effectively. For even better filtration, you might also consider using VF3501 filter bags, which are available at most Home Depot stores. 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.

                  Zero positives. Cheap, lackluster suction, exceptionally loud, ours was missing the hardware to attach the handle, and the connectors for the hose are cheap plastic that will break quickly. Most importantly, we paid $70 for a shop vac that doesn't come with a precision tool. Seriously?? Returning.

                  Hello Kat, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment with our vacuum. While many of our users are satisfied with its performance, we understand that different tasks may require varying specifications. It sounds like you might need a vacuum with a higher CFM for your specific needs. A higher CFM means better efficiency in picking up debris, and this model is rated at 64 CFM. There are several factors that can affect actual airflow, such as turbulence in the hose and wands, restrictions where the cleaning tool meets surfaces, resistance from a filled bag, and filter loading. Regarding noise levels, our vacuums can indeed become loud in enclosed spaces; this model has a noise rating of 82 decibels with its original hose attached. About the missing screws, they should be located in the corner of the poly bag where the wheels are stored. If they are missing, we're happy to send replacements free of charge. For accessories like precision tools not included in your package, we offer a variety of 1-7/8" accessories available at Home Depot stores. Alternatively, you may return your vacuum to Home Depot within 90 days per their return policy. If you have any questions or need help finding a model that better suits your needs, 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 Ridgid

                    TOO LOUD, no suction
                    This is TOO LOUD for the amount of suction it provides, DO NOT BUY. This was going to replace a 9 gal 3.5 hp that I've had for over 15 yrs, I figured since it was 3.5 hp, it would provide same suction and only lose a bit of capacity. Nope, it hardly picks up and is so loud and whiny, i'm going to have to replace it with something else, it's the first time Ridgid has let me down.

                    Hello jackthehandyman,

                    Thanks for writing a review and we’re sorry to know your disappointment about the product. While most customers are satisfied with the suction power of this vac, you may return the vac to Home Depot store within 90 days of purchase. This vacuum is rated at 64 CFM suction power. Additionally, there are several factors that can affect actual airflow, including turbulence in the hose and wands, restrictions on airflow where the cleaning tool meets the floor or other surface, as well as filter loading. The HD06001 is rated 82 decibels with the hose attached. Vacuums can get loud especially when used in an enclosed space. We highly recommend wearing ear protectors when using the vac for extended period or in a noisy area. If you need a vac with higher CFM, you may contact us directly so we can help you find one suitable for your needs.

                      Why buy a name brand vacuum that does not suck?
                      Ok, Father's Day, 2023 we were on the way to camp. We remembered that that dad mentioned a shop vac would be nice to have, especially a wet / dry vacuum. Hey, a 6-gal vacuum that is wet/dry? Rigid? No brainer! We purchased the 6-gal model. Some assembly required? Ha! It was a freaking cheap mess of parts that barely fit together. See photos below: First, it would not pick up some nails, not 20 penny, but roofing, and some plaster nails. Second, we tried to demonstrate the wet pick up, we had mopped the porch and figured it would be a test and show it off. Wrong! With a sponge mop and a bucket, I removed more water in 15 min total than the vacuum had done all day. Ridgid should be embarrassed, a vacuum that does not vacuum novel approach to lose customers and alienate those who love this brand.

                      Hello PSUPUNguy, Thanks for writing a review and we're sorry to have learned about your disappointment. There are only a few parts that require assembly such as the casters and the handle. May we know which parts you're having difficulty with the assembly? On a different note, while a lot of users are happy with the performance of this vac, you may need a vac with a higher CFM. The higher the CFM, the more efficient it will pick up debris. This vac is rated at 64 CFM suction power. Additionally, there are several factors that can affect actual airflow, including turbulence in the hose and wands, restrictions on airflow where the cleaning tool meets the floor or other surfaces, increased resistance due to the bag filling with dirt, as well as filter loading. You may return the vac to Home Depot within the first 90 days following their return policy. If you have questions or you need assistance in finding another vac more suitable for your needs, 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.

                        Replaced my larger rigid that stopped working…
                        3 year old larger rigid shop vac is a waste of space in my garage since the switch went out and can’t find a replacement. Bought this for some work we are doing. Dust is fine. Small brads and such—not so much. My dirt devil had more suction. I guess if you are buying it to dust your house it is fine… but not if you are trying to clean up a room after pulling up a carpet and need it clean for new flooring….

                          I bought this shop vac without doing any research, which is completely out of my character. However I was needing a new VF5000 filter for my older Ridged, which is “old” and blows moldy smells— I needed this for our new home indoor projects. I have 4 shop vacs and my older Ridged is my best of all, to include my “very expensive” brand vac, so of course a Ridged is my go-to. When I went to buy a $24.97 filter for my older Ridged, I saw this complete shop vac for $55, so it was a no brainer to me. I bought it and set it up, went to vacuum my concrete floor in my dogs rooms — I just pulled the carpet up and plucked the tack stripes up; which left concrete pieces and tiny nails. Once I fired the new vac up, it was Extremely loud and only picked up 30% of the concrete pieces on the floor,— they were smaller than a dime and thinner than one too. But this vac would “not” pick them up unless I positioned the head piece directly over it and waited 2-3 secs. There was also some small tack nails (that were holding the carpet down) and it wouldn’t pick those up either— even after putting the vac over it. The nails went up (I could feel em rattling in the tube in my hand) but then feel out when I picked the vac up from the floor. When I put the vac to my hand, it “felt” strong but not sure why it wouldn’t grab anything. I had to return this piece and I was really hoping to fall in love with it since I just bought a new home and need something to do random projects without smelling up the house.

                            This small Rigid wet/dry vac had simple set up instructions which were accomplished in about 5 minutes. Basically, snap in the caster feet, screw in the handle and you are set. It is a manageable size for storage and home use and has a carry handle for easy movement. The feet have molded storage posts for the extension wands which keep them secure when not in use. Unfortunately, as great as the look and construction of this unit is, I had some issues once I tested it out on my auto mats and interior. I was hoping this unit would be powerful enough to replace my ancient Shopvac but it was rather disappointing. I thought the large diameter of the hose would be an asset but it has insufficient suction for many tasks. There should be an attachment included that narrows the end opening for tight spaces and more concentrated suction. It wouldn't add much to the price and it is definitely needed. I was unable to reach many places in the car's interior and I felt it had mediocre performance. I would opt for a Rigid model with more HP and other attachments. I like the basic design, weight and low noise level but I need more power before I retire my bulky metal Shopvac.

                            Hey RIDGID Customer! Sorry to hear that this vacuum didn’t meet your expectations. If you’re needing an attachment that would go into tight spaces, check out the VT1702 (1-7/8” Crevice Tool). Accessories like this usually comes with larger models like the WD18510.

                            Love this vacuum! Its squatty design makes it harder to tip over which is great because we all pull shop vacs around by the hose. This vac is super easy to assemble. With the exception of the 2 screws attaching the handle to the top of the unit, everything snaps together easily. I've used it for blowing up inflatables, blowing dust and debris out of the garage, vacuuming up dirt/leaves/trash - damp and dry and it works very well. I took it to work where we have a LOT of chalk dust which normally clogs up vacuums quickly - the vac made short work of the dust without clogging and everyone really liked using it.
