Super powerfull shop vac! Great quality. If you get this or have it yoy need to pair it with the Dustopper! You’ll never have to buy amother filter. You can make your own mounting solution with some PVC and a scrap piece of plywood. I also paired this with the Ridgid water pump accessory

Solid shop vac! Great filters even on exhaust port. The accessories are a little difficult the attach/store but they also work very well. Power of suction is very noticeable. I actually installed the bars in reverse to save on space and seems to work well. I am very happy with this product and would recommend to anyone.

Easy to assemble, in stock, just what was needed when an old vac failed. I would expect this vac to last through years of torture!

Got this for a clean up couple years back and have used it countless times since and always does a great job. Love the tall handle as it makes it very nice to move around the shop or job and not be hunched over pushing it like other vacs. It sucks well. Only wish it would have included a wet vac cartridge with mine.

Nice quality, easy to roll around and good tool storage. Much quieter than my old Craftsman vac it replaces!

Does a great job cleaning up my shop.

Delivered sooner than expected. Easy to follow directions for assembly. Only thing missing was the fact that two of the screws were to be used to keep the front wheels on after you clip the units to the drum. This is in the first part of the instructions concerning the front wheels.
