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.

So much power compared to a similar Craftsman. I have had 2 Ridgid now, the first one is 13 years old and still works, it was just too small. I won’t ever buy another brand wet/dry vac

I use these vacuums both at the job, in shop setting and at home and they never seem to fail and let me down. Must have, well priced, must buy. Also there lifetime warranty is pretty good if you register it online. Can’t beat it

Works great. Not as load as I read in reply’s. Is not top heavy when pulling it around.

Except for the humongous size which makes it very hard to move it around this vacuum works great. I wish it would be smaller so I could give 5 stars..

I’ve been buying rigid for a long time (kinda) I say kinda because the last one I purchased was in 2001 so needless to say I’ve certainly got my money’s worth. This a great little machine for the price. Hopefully this last just as long

Already have one for my woodworking, and this recently bought vac is for my children’s vehicles. Also got them the Ridgid Auto Detailing kit for their cars. Great shop vac.

In a time when things are now built to fail it is nice to buy something from a company that still cares about quality being associated to their name. I am very happy with the Vac and the additional items I have purchased. When I buy a wet/dry vac I am not thinking about passing it on to my children, yet I have no doubt that will happen.
