12 Gallon Wet/Dry Vac is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 113.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MichaelJab from Powerful shop vac, but it needs changes The vacuum is very powerful and this is not a problem. The problems are with the hose, and the ability to connect the hose to other hose or Ridgid brand tools. I purchased a 7 foot extension hose with the "Dual-Flex" locking system. The first box had been opened and the coupler end that allows you to connect two hoses together was missing. Returned this hose and exchanged it for a complete box. They should make the hoses so that even the hose that comes with the vacuum has one end that can connect to another hose. This would be on the end that connects to the vacuum itself, like a female hose end on one side and a male hose end on the other. Instead the original hose has two male ends on it. The next thing that needs to be looked at is, why doesn't Ridgid make their hose ends lock together like the little dust collection bag on their 5 inch orbital sander locks on to the sander? This is a slip it on and twist it to lock it on. The dust bag is removed and you then connect the shop vac hose to the sander. This would make connecting a Ridgid Shop Vac to a Ridgid sander very easy, and the hose would be locked to the sander instead of a slip fit, making it less likely that the hose will slip off of the sander. I am not unhappy with the vacuum, but Ridgid needs to actually use their vacuums and tools so they will have an idea of what to do to make them work better together. Or they need to ask the actual people who do use their products for some input to improve their products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WeChis from Better than the last 3 Shop-vacs I have had I own a kennel and maintain another kennel. We have gone through 3 shop vacs in the last 10 years. I think this one performs better and will see the longevity as we go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Handyman2 from Great value This replaces a 10 year old Ridgid that I donated to Habitat. This one has the same capacity but is half the physical size and quieter too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LarryG from The suction power is great. I used this shop vac in my garage where I do VW restoration. I neede a vac that would pick up piece of light metal and rust. This vac is powerful enough to pick up all that's on my shop floor. I'd recommend this for any home or shop use.
