Love the power of this thing.

The vacuum has ample suction to handle the job. The hose and its attachments are difficult to assemble. The hoses need better design and manufacturing control.

I like my RIDGID 16 Gal. 6.5-Peak HP NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum so much that I gave one to a family member for Christmas!

This replaced a Craftsman model over 20 years old with similar features, if it lasts as good as it, I will be well pleased.

The vacuum was quite easy to assemble. I had read that there were some issues attaching the wheels, but I used a rubber mallet and they went in with ease. The vacuum works great. The attachments go on rather simply and provide valuable options for different messes. I have yet to use the blower, but looking forward to it. Keep in mind that I’ve only had the product for a little over a month, so I can’t speak to durability over a long period of time. I will update this review or submit another review should this become an issue.

We purchased this for our first DIY project on our home. With no experience it was easy to use and worked great.

Great little wet vac, would definitely recommend. Good set of connections included. Absolutely love the inclusion of a way to pull the top of and use as a blower – has come in handy way more than I would have imagined.

Good power, good size.

This thing has major suction power and a high flow volume to match it! Comes with the attachments most would need in a shop vac and quickly converts to a blower. Excellent value for the price! Only thing i would change is the length of hose that comes with it. It would be nice to not have to move the vacuum around as I clean out my truck. Highly recommend this vacuum! And recommend buying a longer hose if you have a large truck.
