The RIDGID 14 Gal. NXT wet dry vac was built for pros ready to take their projects to the next level. With more power, enhanced durability, and an advanced design specifically engineered for the pro user, this high-performance vacuum is part of the most powerful line of wet/dry vacs RIDGID has ever made. At 6.0 peak horsepower, this vac delivers the power for heavy-duty pro cleanups. Its redesigned scroll technology gives the NXT vac an increase in power, suction, and lift. Drum keying optimizes vac airflow and latches tightly seal lid to drum to avoid suction loss and improve convenience when carrying or dumping. The 14 Gal. NXT vac includes the first ever 2-1/2 in. locking accessories that lock onto a wand or hose which means no downtime from attachments coming apart. The 2-1/2 in. diameter size resists clogs and makes cleaning large messes quick and easy. This large capacity vac features a 2-piece drum construction that offers the toughest RIDGID durability. For added convenience, this vacuum has an ergonomic front-to-back top carry handle offering a more natural carry, a large power switch that’s easy to flip with work gloves, drum carry handles for a comfort grip when lifting, and 4 swivel casters for 360° movement during cleanup. A tool storage caddy on the back of the vac securely stores attached accessories even when lifting and emptying the drum. Hose storage keeps the hose neatly on board and caster feet provide secondary storage for needed attachments.

This Shop Vac is a Christmas present. Therefore we have not had a chance to try it. It would be nice if it included a muffler and a brush as many other units do.

I’m very happy with this shop vac. It cleaned out my car easily and does very well in the garage also. It’s easy to handle and maneuver and the attachments are great.

Needed to vacuum wet carpet. Worked like a charm!!!
Effie Von (verified owner) –
This is the best shop vacuum that I have ever used. It is exceptionally powerful and I have connected it to my dust collection and it easily serves two saws and a router.
Virgil Stokes (verified owner) –
Lots of power and surprisingly quiet for 6hp
Demarcus Collins (verified owner) –
This wet/dry vacuum does the job. It exceeded my expectations. It is a workhorse. Just what I needed!
Hollie Monahan (verified owner) –
Much better than I expected. It can keep up with my thickness planer.
Roger Rempel (verified owner) –
Powerful. Blower knocked me off balance first time. Vacuumed the leaves out of our gutters without any issue.
Jaquan Harvey (verified owner) –
Both my sons have this shop vacuum and are very pleased so it was an easy decision to get one for my husband for Christmas!
Norene Runolfsdottir (verified owner) –
The amount of suction is not as great as I would have liked. I should have got the 6.5 hp
Ardith Nikolaus (verified owner) –
Purchased new. Much better suction than any model tried /owned previously. Like the interlock to keep hide parts from separating.
Ruthie Konopelski (verified owner) –
Great vacuum, almost too powerful.
Gerald Haag (verified owner) –
Well, what else can I say about this awesome shop vac? It sucks!
Myriam Homenick (verified owner) –
I should have done some more research before this purchase. Dust bags are stupid expensive. Should have gone back to Shop Vac. My old one lasted 16 years with NO dust bag,
Stephan Kreiger (verified owner) –
Very easy to assemble. Lots of power, suction and capacity. I’m going to buy another one.
Judge Paucek (verified owner) –
Really does the job!
Destinee Walsh (verified owner) –
Light weight, easy to assemble, it met expectations and average value.
Winnifred Barrows (verified owner) –
Great product. Works well and has quite a bit of power. This is the best shop vac I’ve ever owned.
Amiya Hand (verified owner) –
Great power and capacity. I bought this for a popcorn ceiling removal. One of the things I really liked about this purchase was the dust bag that was included. That made the clean up so much easier and held all the popcorn mess. I’ve since purchased a dusting brush to assist in the sanding clean up of kitchen cabinets. The only flaw(for lack of a better term) would be the hose is too long to fit snug when put back in the hose storage clamps.
