I do not have to drag my vac around most places in my garage now. When I do this hose is sturdy enough to stay connected.

Good quality but instructions are very unclear regarding adapters.

Hose was orange which I believe helped it suck a lot harder. Glad I went with this premium and not the cheaper black plastic hose, mine kept getting kinked and it was driving me nuts. So I shelled out the extra clams and purchased this bad boy.

I was going to give this product a poor review until I spoke with RIDGID’s customer service, who were quick to respond and helped me figure out the issues I was having. Essentially, I installed the two #4 adapters on both ends of my hose because they looked like they would fit the best. After attaching them, I quickly realized that it was quite difficult to attach/detach it from my vacuum and my older accessories simply did not fit. When I went to change out the adapters, I noticed they weren’t coming loose. My chat with customer service confirmed that while the tapered expansion cuff itself is removable, once you install an adapter into it, the adapter cannot be removed. Unfortunately, the only solution is to special order a replacement for it…bummer. It turns out the attachment I was supposed to use with my older model vacuum’s inlet was #5 and the attachment for the accessories was #1 (which I can actually cram into the #4 and get it working). I would give it 5 stars if the adapters were interchangeable, meaning seating them in the cuffs wasn’t permanent. Apart from that, this is a great high quality hose with a nice set of adapters that is definitely an upgrade from the basic hoses that come with RIDGID vacuums. It feels more solid, stretches and bends better, and doesn’t seem to want to pull my vacuum onto it’s side as much. Worth picking up if you’ve got an old kinked hose you’re unhappy with.

I like the length and flexibility of the hose. I gave 4 stars because the hose connector end keeps coming off.

The only issue I had with this hose kit, there is no attachment to connect this hose to my Rigid 12 Gal Vacuum. I’ll have to find an attachment at Home Depot.

Needed a flexible hose for older Craftsman shop vac. Extra parts made it compatible for my use with smaller standard attachments and more flexible than the hose it came with.

The adapters of this kit do not fit the inlet of a 2009 Rigid vacuum, which measures 2-21/32″ I.D. A work around is to cutoff the hose from the original inlet piece, leaving about 1-1/2″ of hose. Then one of the new hose adapters will fit snugly over the hose pigtail; secure with duct tape.

This hose is extremely durable and flexible. I’ve now purchased 2 of them to replace the standard hoses that came with my Ridgid Vac as well as my Beast 5 gal Vac. Will definitely purchase again!

It’s better than what I expected….

Great hose for extended reach and high cleaning and can leave the vacuum plugged in into one outlet the 10ft hose can let me clean more without to unplug the vacuum

For the standard hose that comes with a vacuum is away to short. This one is just right for most uses. It also seems to be sturdy material.
Colten Ledner (verified owner) –
The hose works great and it’s nice to have a couple extra feet.
Hillard Stoltenberg (verified owner) –
Way better then the hose that came with it orig. Be nice if the included adapter for like reg vacuum attach. , Other manufactures do, since it’s a pro and maybe a 45 deg. Adapter also just a idea

Hose did unscrew from coupler, no big deal. Fix took seconds. Greatly improved suction!
