Pros: Quality built, good suction. Cons: Very noisy, I wear ear protection when I use it, better for shop than home for this reason.

Works ok. Inlet is small and clogs easily. I was looking for something that works better then my wife’s handheld Dyson. This is not it.

It picked up all of the dog hair on the entire first floor of a 2 story 2700 square foot home. The dog is a Malamute (long haired). It went through about half a 6aH battery doing it. It had no problems at all picking up the dog hair.

Great compact vacuum for our RV

Not the power I expected for price

I use it for very light vacuuming jobs that puff up into the air when I try to use a dust pan. So in my case it was sort of an expensive frustration solver. The battery doesn’t last long. The process to empty the dust bin is a little weird but it works.

Good for quick clean ups. Used it several times and it did the job.

Love it, The issue I have is filters are not carried in-store. You have to order thru Gardner.

Works well and seems sturdy.

The hand vac was heavy and akward to use especially with one hand. It sucked up dirt ok but did not have enough air speed to spin a turbo brush. This made it less effective for cleaning auto floor mats. It was very loud. I took it back for a refund.

I bought it a few months ago and it works really good.

We are very happy with the vacuum. It has more then sufficient suction. It provides anther good use of our Ridgid 18V batteries.

Nice and easy to use. I just feel it lacks suction. Even with a full battery it was lacking. Seemed to work adequately on minor dust in the work shop, but broken fluorescent bulbs on cement floor took multiple passes over the pieces. Debris in my car cargo area from hauling tree clippings to local dump would not suck up well. For the money I was hoping to have something that would be a good sub for my shop-vac. Not so. Returning for refund.

It has very good suction. Quite loud and a little heavy for my wife but it’s a keeper!
Jarrod Dibbert (verified owner) –
Works great, well made, and seems like it will be durable. It is a little louder than I thought it would be but still a great purchase.

This vacuum works very well for light dirt and dust. Frequent filter cleaning is required. Battery life span is good.

Love the convenience of sharing the battery to my drivers and blower. Vacuum has great suction. Perfect for cleaning my van fill with kids trash.
