Purchased this after returning another Ridgid vacuum that didnt perform well. Specifically upgraded to a larger hose diameter and it makes a huge difference. Love that the height of this unit is shorter then my last one. I seem to go through these every 2-3 years. Hoping this one lasts longer as I have only had it a short time.

It make do it good. It’s easy to use you literally plug er in, turn on the switch and whatever you place the hose Over gets sucked up. I haven’t figured out the technology yet as I am still amazed. Not sure if it’s sorcery or magic but whatever it is stuff disappears forever

I purchased this vacuume in a hurry after the sewer backed up. At the time it seemed to be the best value and there wasn’t much time to do proper research. I am very pleased with this vac. and all the accessories.

Hooked it up to my 10″ table saw, 12″ planner, 10″ power miter saw and router table. Pulled in sawdust very well keeping my shop clean.

I specifically chose this unit because it offered the highest horsepower with smallest capacity with the 2.5″ hose. If I could have gotten a 5 or 6 gallon with this motor and hose size it would be most ideal. The unit has great suction and the noise level is not overly loud (some reviewers complained it’s too loud) I like the large 2.5″ hoses, they just work better.

I needed a smaller wet/dry vac to replace my behemoth 20 gallon dewalt vac. Only complaints I have are 1) Hose is too short 6ft 2) switch is rather small and cheesy.

The power is unbelievable! Yes, it really sucks up everything! Very happy with this purchase. Great value for what you get especially with all the attachments. I use it around the house, garage and car and it has been amazing! Not to mention registering for the Lifetime Warranty is an added bonus! Love a company that backs and stands behind what they sell. I haven’t used it for any wet applications yet, but when I do I’m sure it will be flawless!

Very pleased with operation and all included accessories . Very well designed and very well made . large hose diameter is excellent also ease of connecting hose and nozzles. Large filter inside is securely held in pace but is easy to remove . Stainles body looks great . Large motor securing clips to body are also excellent .

I bought this a few months ago, to empty the water out of our hot tub. For that purpose, I bought the VF7000 wet filter. Changing the filter was easy. Changing back to the supplied filter was a little harder. Getting the seal wet seems to make removal a little harder.Emptying the unit of water can be done with the drain plug, I believe. I never used this feature, resorting to unclamping the top and dumping the contents. That worked fine for my purposes.The hose and attachments are simple to use. I found them sizeable, and not altogether small enough sized for my hands, which are large. A handle smaller than the hose size would be helpful.Because the suction is so powerful, I had to step on loose carpets at the same time as vacuuming. Having the attachments made with a bristle or corrugated edges might help this aspect, which currently makes it kind of hard to use for those carpets, as I don’t usually vacuum with my feet straddling what I am cleaning.I was picking up drywall bits. The filter clogged up substantially really quickly. It didn’t seem to affect suction, but it made emptying the unit dustier than I expected. I used another vacuum to suck the dust out from between the pleats. I have not ever had to do that with my other vacuum systems.Storage of the hose ends on the caster feet is easy. I am left wondering if it will eventually cause me to nibble the end of the rigid tubing, because it only holds the very end.Storing the wire can be done around the handle. I have not used that feature, because it appears it would cause the wire to interfere with my grip on the unit. The cord is long, which means you don’t need an extension when you are close enough to an outlet. The cord is not self-retracting.
