I bought this unit for light car detailing and for rug vacuuming, expecting this thing to be alright but noisy and hard to maneuver.Man was I wrong, this vacuum may be quieter than your house vac! Its pretty powerful, but it does diminish a tiny bit after using it for awhile. BUT!After closer examination I did see that the harsh right angle on the inlet of the hose when it reaches the tub can have paper and other rubbish hang on to, and after clearing that, the suction power seemed to get much better. All in all its a great option, if a little spendy.

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.

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.

This vac is hooked up to our CNC router table. Sucking up acrylic and aluminum shavings. It gets used 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. Ridgid is very durable for an affordable price.
