It made clean ups much easier in less time.

An amazing tool all-around. The blower is nearly as powerful as a cheap pressure washer, and significantly quieter than my neighbors’ gas-powered blowers (I think they are jealous). I used it to blow out my gutters too; great experience. The included attachments work very well.

I received this vacuum to build a dust collection cart for my shop. I have another Ridgid shop back in the garage that’s lasted you for years and I expect this one to do the same. The motor isn’t too loud and the suction is excellent. It’s really a brilliant idea as well to add the blower feature. I’ve done it in the past with hooking up the hose to the outlet on the back of the vacuum but it’s never quite the same. This leaf blower attachment puts out a ton of their air and will easily move the biggest pile of leaves. You never think somebody was going to be able to make an improvement to just a plain old vacuum but I think Ridgid come up with a great idea here. The clip on tools is great as well allows you to pull the vacuum around the shop without continuously unplugging the hose.

This is a really nice shop vac. that has a lot of nice features to it and one that I have not seen on any other shop vac. and that its the ability to also use it as a blower to blow leaves or clean walks after doing the yard mowing. It comes with many different attachments 4 in all and the hose is 2 1/2 inch diameter which is plenty large enough for a great suction. The wheels are also nice for moving the vac. and the filter comes with it so if you need a shop vac. do yourself a favor and pick yourself one up at the Home Depot, you will be glad that you did.

Great shop vac but wish it came with a brush attachment so maybe that’s something the company can think about including at some point. Have not used it for water yet and have not used the blower either. the power is great and it does what we need it to do.

Great, versatile shop-vac! I purchased the optional HEPA filter, as we will be doing some drywall refinish and painting inside our home. Will also be purchasing the automotive detailing tools soon. The detachable blower adds to its capability. Very good price for two tools!

I’m truly impressed by this shop vac. I’ve had 4 different shop Vacs in my life and this is easily the best one I’ve had. 3 years ago I purchased another brand from Lowes and it works fine for my bead blast cabinet but I hated it for the shop floor. Always coming apart, hoses separating, really noisy, not ideal. This one has locking connections. Why doesn’t everyone do that? Rigid also has lots of accessories and lots of places to carry those accessories. Bonus is the thing turns into a blower and where I live you don’t need a mower, you need a blower. Love this Vac!
