Customer Reviews for RIDGID 3 Gal 3.5 Peak HP Handheld Shop Vac Wet Dry Vacuum with RIDGID SWEEP Dust Pan, Filter, Locking Hose and Car Nozzle

I have had two wall mounted vacs in my garages for several years now. I use them to vacuum out vehicles mostly since I do not like going to a car wash vacuum. These provide plenty of power and do a great job, and take up very little space. Really love my wall mount vacuums!

This unit does what I expected it to do, be easier & less hastle to use than my larger Ridgid shop vac. A great addition to my tool inventory..

Great little vacuum, light weight with good suction

I do not own the shop vac on I'm older version of it but it has been a great shot vac would be interested in the new one

I love how compact the unit is. It is very light in weight and easy to store away, not in the way of traffic areas. I love the built-in dustpan option, making small jobs an easy clean-up of sawdust. Knowing Ridgid wouldn't change from the other units available, but the long cord is a must. Making it convenient to transport around the shop not having to unplug it. Outstanding job on this unit!!!

we have had this for 6 months has great suction and is small and light enough to be very portable

This is a great little vac. I got it to vacuum up water

Needed a vacuum that was powerful and compact. Bought this vacuum and am happy with the power of the suction power.

Bought this for my daughter as a Christmas gift and she loves it!

A wonderful little machine with large machine power. So impressed with this vacuum. From car to garage to shop it is a champ. Highly recommended for professional and DIYer.

Great for cleaning outside bays and step area. We have a built-in vacuum inside but hose maxed out too reach the steps. Only complaint is that the top could secure a little tighter.

I bought this product 2 years ago and I am really satisfied with it.

Since, I owned different Rigid Vac machine. This one of the most favorite Vac tool when cleaning my car and my workshop work. Its works as expected. Mainly it size is handy and powerful suction there no need to move around with my big one. I like it.

Bought this little wet/dry sucker years ago and still works great! Love the dust pan side for easy cleanups!

Got this for a Christmas gift this past year. It has been outstanding for working on house project. I do use the Hepa bags and keeps the dust down to almost none. Even sheetrock. I have the kit with the wall mount which I have by my workbench which helps with super easy cleanups. Highly recommend! Wayne

Our movers "lost" our old 5 gal Ridgid Vac, so I went looking for a replacement. The 3 gal portable caught my eye for several reasons: 1. No wheels (I've come to detest shop vacs with wheels - they are always getting caught on things and the vacs fall over way too often). I do have to pick this vac up to move it around but it's ultra light and very easy to move. 2. The built in dustpan comes in very handy, no need for seperate dust pan and brush and no getting down on the floor. So far, I'm very happy with this vac after about 8 months. I did buy a longer hose because the one that comes with the unit is one of those stretchy hoses that much prefers to collapse into its shortest form which can be very annoying.

I’ve used this vacuum a few times and I am impressed!

Purchased a month ago, I like the size and portability - excellent suction for size. great for cleaning car!

Delighted with my purchase! This vacuum has been invaluable for personal project use.

I got this to vacuum spills on carpet. It picks up the liquid but it sprays out the exhaust, making another mess. I like the size of this but not the secondary mess it makes.

I love my small shop vac. I use it to suck out the pellets from my pellet grill so it makes it easier to dump in the storage bins and so to clean out the ashes from the pellets grill. I don't use it for nothing else. It is the prefect size for the job. Highly recommended

I purchased this a few months ago to clean up lint and my dryer vent, great size to carry easily and fit behind the dryer and in the vent, I also got the attachment that has the light built in, its awesome...

This portable wet/dry vacuum is perfect for the small, messy jobs I do around my house. It seems that almost everything I do involves cutting or drilling into sheetrock. My wife appreciates the fact that I have a shop vacuum that I'm always willing to bring into the house with me to keep down the dust. The 4.0AH battery life is long enough for most cleanup tasks. I especially like the great flexibility of the hose, making it easy to reach around corners. Overall, I'd rate this vacuum a 5-star product, but there's a couple of minor things that could be done to make it even better. The basic vacuum is powerful, but the weaknesses include no provision to wrap the hose around the vacuum or a place to hook a second attachment, like a brush or nozzle. By adding those features, this would be a strong 5-star tool. Thanks for another great Ridgid tool.

Bought this a couple of years ago and I use it almost daily.

This VAC is very light weight and very easy to use. Has a lot of power for its size. Highly recommended it for work around the house.

Great suction power but I wish the power cable is a bit longer. I like the dust pan attachment—convenient to use with a broom.

I love Ridgid vacuums, but this one is a joke. Constantly falls over, top heavy. The worst problem is that when the lid latches there is a great deal of play between the lid and the base. Under vacuum in ideal conditions it seals, but if you are holding it by the handle or it falls over the seal is broken and spews dust and dirt everywhere. I regret ever buying this

Powerful suction for nails and plaster have 3 of them cabin,garage and company vehicle.
