Worst shop vac I have ever used
Assembly was easy, so that's something. But from day one, the suction power on this thing is absolutely non-existent. Despite that, it is ear-bleeding noisy. Complete waste of money. Will probably never buy a Rigid vacuum ever again.

Dear Chris,

Thank you for writing a review. We are sorry to learn about your disappointment with the product. While most customers are satisfied with this model, please present your receipt and vac at your local Home Depot store within 90 days and they will replace it for you at their discretion. This vacuum is rated at 64 CFM suction power. There are several factors that can affect actual airflow, including turbulence in the hose and wands. Additionally, this model is rated 82 decibels. Vacuums can get loud especially when used in an enclosed space. We still recommend wearing ear protectors when using the vac for extended hours or in a noisy area. If you have other questions or concerns, feel free to call us at 1-800-4-RIDGID (1-800- 474-3443) or you may send your email to info@ridgidvacs.com.

Regards,
RIDGID® Customer Support Ridgid

    I wanted a smaller shop vac but not too small so I went with this one. I may have to take it up a ladder. I was very disappointed that it did not have all the attachments with it. I have had to order a brush and a crevice attachment to go with it. It is made in China...

    A 10 foot cord on a shop vac, really?
    I bought it in May based on reviews from Wirecutter for the Rigid brand shop vacs. I didn't purchase the larger vac since I only wanted it to regularly clean up my small patio. When I put it together, 3 of the wheels clicked right in, the 4th did not. I hammered #4 in and it would stay for seconds and then drop off again. I've hammered it in 4 times now. The cord is ridiculously short. My only heavy duty extension cord is 100 Ft long. So, I have to buy a shorter ext cord.

      The filter is way smaller then it should be you do need to empty it each time you use it. It’s ok for small jobs but I would not recommend it for large jobs.

      Effective, versatile, easy to assemble and a breeze to use. I bought it specifically for its wet-vac capabilities. Now that I have it, there’s so much more I do with it like vacuum my car and keep my garage floor debris-free.

      We bought this one to replace the exact one we have that is old and worn out. We had the old one for many years.

      It is easy to assemble, but I just didn't need the wheels as I'm using it on uneven ground. I'm using it for removing Stinknet Seedballs and seeds outside. By closely monitoring the suction, the Vac will suck up the seeds, but leave most of the gravel as the seeds are lighter than the gravel.

      Used this to suck up a few gallons of water that had leaked from a busted HVAC. Worked perfectly. Great shop vac.

      Pretty good suction with no attachments. The attachments don't really seal so using them reduces the suction noticably. Wheels covers are a bit odd, hard to tell if they snap in or not. I had one fall off after installing and had to reattach, but after that they stayed on.

      Hello BigC,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us through your review. We're sorry to hear that you encountered disappointment with our product, and we'd like to look into this further.

      Could you please provide us with the specific hose model you were using as an extension, as well as the total length of the hose setup? It's crucial to note that we recommend not exceeding a maximum hose length of 27 feet to maintain optimal suction power.

      If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service team. You can call us at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time, or send an email to info@ridgidvacs.com. We'll be more than happy to assist you.
