A:  Hello Brandon, Thanks for your interest in our product. We want to clarify that this WD4080 4-gallon detachable leaf blower vac you inquired about is not cordless, but a corded model. If you're specifically interested in a cordless vac, we recommend taking a look at our HD0318 model, which you can find on this page. Please don't hesitate to call our Customer Service team at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time, or send an email to info@ridgidvacs.com if you have any other questions or concerns.

A:  Hello joeh, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. Based on your needs for pet hair, we highly recommend the VF3600 HEPA rated media filter. For added protection, you also have the option to use the VF3501 dust collection bag. This specialized bag works in tandem with the VF3600 filter to capture even more fine particles, further improving the air quality in your work area. Both the VF3600 filter and VF3501 bag are available for purchase online at homedepot.com or store.ridgid.com. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call our Customer Service team at 1-800-474-3443, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time.

A:  Hello RIDGID Customer, Thank you for reaching out to us regarding our product. We appreciate your interest and would be happy to provide you with more information. Our pleated paper filter is an essential component that should be installed in your vacuum for every dry pickup. It effectively captures dust, dirt, and debris, ensuring a thorough cleaning experience. By using the filter, you can maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your vacuum. In addition to the pleated paper filter, we also offer optional filter bags. While not mandatory, these bags offer several benefits that can enhance your vacuuming experience. Firstly, they help keep the drum clean by containing the collected debris within a sealed bag. This makes emptying the drum much more convenient and mess-free. Secondly, using filter bags can further prolong the life of the paper filter by preventing it from clogging prematurely. Keep in mind that not all RIDGID vac models can use a filter bag. If you have any further questions or concerns about our products or their usage, our dedicated Customer Service team is available to assist you. You can reach them at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time. Alternatively, feel free to send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we'll get back to you promptly. We hope this information helps you make an informed decision about our product. We look forward to assisting you further! Thanks, RIDGID

A:  Hi Katie, Thank you for reaching out to us. The WD4080 vac does not come equipped with a HEPA filter; however, it does feature a 3-layer fine dust filter that is perfect for handling cold ashes or fine powders.
