Prior to getting this diffuser for my small Ridgid vacuum, the exhaust port tended to blow small particles of dirt all over the place, I'd have to vacuum the same areas at least twice. It wasn't blowing dirt out of the vacuum but small particles that were on non-vacuumed parts of the floors. The diffuser solved the problem and now I only need to vacuum once.

Great addition to my RIDGID vacuum. It’s must have. If you don’t, from the back opening in the vacuum will blow air. Most of the time dirty and dusty. You will never regret using it

Diffuses well. I’m glad I got it because it stop any stream of air from blowing in one direction in my shop preventing excessive dust being kicked up in the air

The unit fit as expected. It did not reduce the noise of the vacuum. I am disappointed.

Worked well at keeping fine dust (drywall sanding) from exiting the exhaust on my shop vac which is the problem I was trying to solve. It did not lower the sound level at all.

If fits and Rigid was good to explain things. The package did not. The sound suppression is slightly better but hardly worth the effort to buy. I guess anything stronger would create back pressure so might lose the great suction. The filter is easy to clean but Rigid does not explain how to pry off the filter regarding the rubberized end cover. Document, document, document please.

So close to perfect, but it's terrible!
I got a backpack Vacuum. It's light and so much powerful, but it's going back to store because there are no attachments which works on rugs and wand ripping your hands when you trying push it "carpet head attachment". And it 1 3/4 head so you really can't find brushed replacement. So bottom line, almost awesome product that is absolutely terrible and useless.

    Not impressed
    It doesn’t reduce the noise that much and it takes away the suction power of the machine.

    Diffuser not Muffler
    The blow out exhaust can stir up the sawdust or debris near the unit when in use. This diffuser, especially for indoor use, performs an amazing job of spreading the exhaust without impacting the suction power. Do not confuse this for a muffler (although it does do so naturally a very wee bit).

    It does not at muffle the sound. It's more of a gimmick.

    Hello Dave,

    Thanks for writing a review and we’re sorry to have learned your issues. The VT2525 muffler/diffuser is designed to disperse the airflow of the air coming out of the exhaust. Because of the way the product is designed, there is also a small reduction in noise level and it also can improve the pitch of the exhaust noise on most vacs. If you are using the vacuum for prolonged period of time and or in smaller spaces, we do recommend using ear protection.

    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.

    Thanks,
    RIDGID Ridgid

    Tthis deffuser worked as expected. It definitely helps reduce the amount of air being discharged from the blower side.

    Disappointed in Muffler
    I bought this item for my Stainless Steel Ridgid Vac and was very disappointed that it only reduced the noise level by about 2 Dcbls. I have since resold it at a loss because it wasn't worth keeping.
