It has enough suction, but if it came with a hose,you could set it in your car and access crevices. Its too bulky to vacuum a car with

Performs as expected.

I returned it. It worked fine but it is very noisy.
Kamryn Tremblay (verified owner) –
Use it for cleaning the truck and boat. Also great around the shop. Good suction and easy to empty and clean. Very happy with the vacuum and the LSA.

Powerful, easy to empty bin, but it isn’t quiet. It fits standard wands so you can use others that you may have around, even a hose if needed. Good filter and easy to clean. Of course, my Ridgid 18v batteries fit perfectly.

We’ve had multiple hand vacs over the last 30 years and this one is the best. Good suction. Easy to clean. The tube extension and narrow end connector are a welcome addition compared to bending over to vacuum up stuff. It is noisy but given it’s run in short bursts that’s not a big deal.

It’s really loud, like I don’t wanna use it cause it’s so loud, it definitely sucks though.

We are using it for a home Dustbuster. It’s a little bit heavy for my wife but it certainly does the job no complaints
Rogelio Lowe (verified owner) –
It’s really loud. Like wet/dry vac loud. But also great power. Good for garage, bad for house.

The vacuum has a strong suction to pick up most anything in my vehicles when cleaning them

This is a somewhat hefty hand vac, considerably heavier and bulkier than the Dirt Devil model it’s replacing. Lots of power, though the noise level is up there too. I’ve been using it primarily in the house with the extension tube and floor nozzle as a broom and dustpan replacement, picking up the debris the dog drags in. Works really well for that and I’m sure it will be great for the odd sawdust job in the garage. I’m using it with 4 amp/hr li-on batteries and seems to have good run time.

This cordless vaccum works great and the battery interchange with my drills
Emerson Hirthe (verified owner) –
Not quite as powerful as I hoped but works well for what I want it for. Having trouble registering it on the site.
Aurore Kemmer (verified owner) –
Works well and is handy for quick clean ups. Good suction, surprised by some of the things it was able to pick up.It’s loud, about as noisy as a shop vac. and the filter clogs fairly quickly but clearing filter is simple… takes about a minute.

Best hand vacuum ive owned
Benny Champlin (verified owner) –
Easy to handle, not too heavy and has quite a lot of suction power for a handheld device. Meets several needs that we were looking to find, ranging from a quick upright to a great sideboard acessorisor.

I bought just the vacuum tool only after our Shark battery died and a replacement was more expensive than a new Shark. I have extra batteries for this at home because it ties in with the larger Ridgid tool family. Scared the heck out of my wife the first time she turned it on it had so much suction. Maybe consider your approach as your trying to vacuum or you might blow things around more than you want. With a baby there are lots of crumbs and spills and this can handle both.

I bought this for my brother’s birthday for cleaning up around his new home. As we have completed a new home build we have same woodworking items to complete. He was always dragging out his large roll around Ridgid vacuum for clean up, plug it in and drag it around.He loves this vacuum! Cleans the interior of his car, our Mastercraft ski boat….. limitless!! Great product!!
