Rated 5 out of 5 by ROB1ST from THIS VACUUM HAS ALWAYS DONE A GOOD JOB AND IS EASY TO MANEUVER. WARRANTY CAN NOT BE BEAT. I HAVE SEVERAL RIDGID PRODUCTS AND HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH THEM.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Officegirl from This product works great! I feel that the product works great for shop use, wet and dry application. It isn't real good for use on any carpeted areas. It tends to no glide along with ease as it does on bare floors. Other than that, I recommend the Ridgid products!

Rated 4 out of 5 by sam80 from Good Product Good Product and it does what it's supposed to do. I wish it was stronger. I mostly use it to vacuum the car and it doesn't pick up all the dirt from the carpet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dylan from Powerful suction I have a rigid vacuum already and like it but I'm getting older and thought this smaller one would work better for me.g

Rated 4 out of 5 by Harryghp from Works pretty well This vac is a pretty good value. My only suggestion to anyone interested in getting one is to go with a larger size. I up-sized from the 4-5 gallon to the 9 gallon, and it barely served my purpose. You'd be hard pressed to put 9 gallons in the tub, even without the cover. After 3 or 4 gallons or so the filter starts to submerge. Also, the caster brackets are designed to have screws to hold them on, but are not supplied. they give you two for the handle and should spring for 4 more. Good vac.Go bigger!
