Purchased this a few months ago. Based on the previous experience with Rigid tools and vacuums and the stated warranty. I have never had to make a claim so far regarding the warranty. While the big vacuum is a little more expensive than others. I think Rigid will stand by their brand reputation. One thing that would be nice is to see more accessories that are available for these shop vacs. Like some sort of separate Hepa filters that can be used in wood working and remodeling to collect dust better without clogging the filters so quickly.

This replaced my old shop vacuum, I considered purchasing one of the same brand vacuums, but decided on the Ridgid 16 Gallon Stainless Steel. I am glad that I purchased the Ridgid vacuum.

Good suction. The cart is key. It can be rolled like a hand truck or pushed on all 4 wheels. Doesn’t get stuck like ones with 4 casters.
